Honestly, I think people need to think about what IBM is (probably) saying ...

The Wii U is using a custom CPU, with a design that is most likely now owned by Nintendo, that will not be marketed as part of the Power7 line of processors. This does not mean that the technology is inferior, it could be be contract issues with Nintendo or it could be that Nintendo's needs were unique and resulted in substantial customization.


Nintendo hired IBM and spend a lot of money on R&D to make the chip. Youre probably right its their custom chip.
