1. As I said, devs commenting on it, Watch_Dogs, UE4, FF, rumors etc. and their own reputation (Sony and MS's)

2. We really don't know all the specs though. Nintendo have yet to confirm.

3. How did you get the 3X? The games surely don't show it. Wii was already capable of Xbox graphics right out of the gate. 360 and PS3 were really noticeable jumps over Xbox, PS2 and GC. I'm just saying we'll see the same happen again.

1. "devs commenting on it" is ambiguous. What devs, and if the ones I was referring to (who have not much knowledge on the hardware), did I not mention that in my retort? How do you address my concerns? By "FF" Do you mean luminous? UE4 looks amazing, but what tells you the WiiU would not be able to support it? You do realize that no official backing from Epic does not mean the WiiU can't support it right? I haven't seen Watch_Dogs, I'd like a link to a vid if you have one.

2. I'll ask Archbrix to jump in here. He is the one I'm basing my info from, and I'm not sure they are just rumors, more like very educated guesses.

3. I got the 3X from Archbrix. Of course the games don't show it, that's the point of saying year 0 games are on par with PS3. That means that the system has untapped potential. So "the games surely don't show it" is moot. Wii was capable of Xbox graphics out of the gate, and was a leap over the Xbox. If you don't realize that, you probably forgot. Not as big a leap as the PS360, but still a leap. The WiiU looks to be an even bigger leap, reducing the gap between it and the PS360's successors, as compared to the Wii and its contemporaries. I'm just saying we son't see the same again. The jump from WiiU as compared to PS360 will be greater than the Wii's jump before it, and the jump from the successors of the PS360 to the PS360 all signs point to them being less significant jumps than last time around, in essence making the WiiU to PS4ango smaller. I'd draw you a picture but I know you're smart enough to understand what is an educated guess.

We are on a site meant to predict business trends, and this far it's clear enough that the PS4ango will and cannot make the same jump the PS360 did over the prior gen.

1. I've seen quite a few threads on here about that but don't have the time right now to look them up (both because of a crappy search feature here and little time in real life at the moment). I'm pretty sure Epic would put UE4 in all its glory on Wii U if they were able to...why would they want to lose revenue exactly?

2. OK

3. I would never say the Wii was a "leap" above xbox. How is the Wii U a bigger leap exactly? We've seen nothing that says it is, no games (they all look close to PS3/360 games), no specs, most of the devs seem to think it's only slightly better or on par. But yes, it might be a bigger leap because Wii didn't really leap at all above Xbox and PS2 and GC. GoW2 looked better than most (all) Wii games at the time of release. Twilight Princess looked exactly like the GC game etc. What signs are you talking about here? (bold) 

I beg to differ, I'd point you again to everything I've mentioned that is far beyond anything the PS360 can muster but you've heard it all before, so I'll end it with Watch_Dogs (Watch in HD full screen for the full glory)

" 1. I've seen quite a few threads on here about that but don't have the time right now to look them up (both because of a crappy search feature here and little time in real life at the moment).

Before I say anything I will say one thing. You have no clue what your talking about and are basing your arguments on ignorance.

Epic could not put UE4 on Wii-U because they don't have a good partnership like they do with mircosoft(which good enogh to make gears of war) or sony which I believe they didn't even make a games for them just ports of Xbox360. Plus there could be thousands of reasons like personal reasons or that third party games get overshadowed by first party games of nintendo. Look like Lord of Castle 2 (whatever it's called by the Konami guy) he said he is not porting because wii-u has no fanbase yet. Oh wait ... must really mean wii-u is not powerful enough. Nope it means he doesn't think it will sell good. Your arguments are based on assumptions not facts. Hell the guy said it will be able to can be ported by others companies but not them. For example, Ubisoft did this with the Wii with Unreal engine 2.... epic said the same thing before about not porting themselves. How would you lose revenue if you don't port? You mean why not gain revenue? They could loss money if there game under sells on the wii-u thats why. People have gone on record and have said that THIRD PARTY DOESN"T SELL ON NINTENDO VERY THE PAST GENERATIONS gamebcube( a little) and wii.

3.Gabe Newell(PC LOVERS SHOULD KNOW HE IS CREDITABLE) ?Wii U seems to be a lot more powerful than the previous generation"

Crytek CEO: Wii U hardware is "minimum on par with the current generation."

Gearbox: Wii U is a true next-gen console and will provide the best looking version of Aliens: Colonial Marines.

"How are we suppose to know it's not a little bit better"

Because we can READ non anoymous creditable people.

WHY CAN"T SONY FANS READ.

It's not a question is it more powerful or close it's way more powerful.

 

Do you realize all textalation support makes the way more powerful ? What about it using direct 10.5/11 this in itself makes the xbox look like crap in comparision?

What is wrong with you people how can you seriously think it's going to be on par?

Who said zombie U looks like 2005 game? WOW look at the newest trailer it has lighting the ps3 and xbox wish can do.

And you if you seriously think it looks like a 2005 game get off this forum because we all know you know nothing of which you speak. 2005 games look like freaking wii games currently. Zombie is techinally way better than the xbox. And I'm starting to see some direct 11 in the game from what I'm seeing fromt the background it could be direct x 10 though but it is still miles better than direct x 10.

What are you guys smoking to actually believe this will not be way better than ps3/xbox360?

Radeon 4750-4850 which some say now currently may be even stronger like 6770 series(could be). But if it's 4750 the lowest it still out preforms the ps3 by a milestone. 

The reason why btw the Watchdogs isn't on the Wii-U yet is because of two things. One they worked on it before getting the wii-u. Two ,Plan releasing it on the Wii-U later and will tell us soon.
