Are you assuming people only care about buying the most up-to-date technology? The vast majority of stuff you buy are not "up-to-date." Consoles stay relevant for a good half decade or so I would say, and according to you tech becomes "very old" within a year or two.

Exactly - half a decade per generation, and the Wii U is joining this generation when it's been around now for 5-6 years. Where did I say tech becomes "very old" within a year or two?

If we assume that this rumor is true, that it does use a custom AMD E6760, and you consider that "old" tech, you are implying it. The AMD E6760 is 2011 tech.

The last time the E6760 could be considered a viable gaming card was back in '06 as it's like an OC'd 8800GT...in 2011 it's nothing more then a basic graphic card . It certainly would not be considered a gaming card in '11.

It's an embedded graphics card, and it seems like you don't hold a realistic view of what the term "old" means. It seems like any computer that's on the market is old technology no matter how good it is, because a real supercomputer has it beat in every way every time. Your logic fails, ultimately. A gaming-dedicated console can do much more with much less due to the fact that its hardware optimizes its performance for gaming and graphics. I don't know if you have any idea what you're talking about.
