Of course Wii U is going to be more powerful, its much newer hardware. But as someone who has played the console I havent seen it do anything the PS360 cant do. Im sure its capable of more but as of now developers havent taken advantage of the hardware.

What I dont understand are the people who think Durango and Orbis wont be giant leaps over current gen. Because they will be MASSIVE jumps


Because of the many many economic and situational reasons talked about in many many threads like this one and PS4 cutting edge thread.  It does not make any sense whatsoever for there to be this huge leap like last time.  You're going to be disappointed if you don't face that reality.  The amount of horsepower that would have to be included in those consoles to get the same kind of leap we got from PS2 to PS3 would make the consoles prohibitively expensive due to the law of diminishing returns.  We're talking 1000 dollar consoles here.  It isn't going to happen.


That isn't even true.........have you ever built a gaming PC?

 

I don't understand where this idea that to make a console even 5x more powerful than current gen is crazy expensive.  Its not at all.  The tech in the current consoles is so outdated it isn't even funny.  And nextbox doesn't even come out for another 1 -2 years anyways and costs will be even lower.

 

You and others who are hoping Wii U is on par with other next-gen consoles need to face the reality that were preparing for another giant leap, not just the tiny step from a technical point of view were seeing with Wii U. 

Most people don't know the roadmap is why, it falls in line with PC GPU releases, which currently, the big jump will be in 2014, that's 2 years away, if either the Durango or the Orbis releases before that time, it won't be a big leap, we'll have to wait and see for now.
