720 is said to have alot of RAM with a good chunk being for OS, multimedia and multi-tasking. It's probably going to have 2-2.5x the RAM of WiiU dedicated to gaming and that's not a gap bigger than this gen at all. That's more similar to a PS2 vs Xbox gap in RAM. The 720 will no doubt have a better CPu than WiiU, but once again won't be the same gap as wii vs 360. You'd be lucky to get 1080P as a standard next gen, don't know why you're pulling 1440p - 2140p out of thin air.
Wii was an overclocked GC, which meant it it used tech from the late 90s. It didn't even support programmable shaders. WiiU won't be the same situation. Saying the gap will be bigger than this gen was in just an outright lie. It won't be anywhere as big. |
Its all rumours yes.
But saying the 720 will dedicate the sort of ram you think to OS etc has no basis.
the 360 and microsoft have been praised on the 360 for using such minimal resources for its OS etc. Even though te OS does more than the competition this gen.
I expect next gen to be no different.
My point. I expect Wii U to be behind just the same as the Wii was this gen. Based on rumoured specs of 720. If indeed the claim the dev kits are 12 gb ram for 720, 6 gb ram ( ram being the biggest draw back of 360 & PS3 claimed by devs ) it should help the 720 to be able to achieve alot more than wii u.
