I'm not the best person on computers, but I'd say it should be able to do more in the same way that a 2GHz Dual Core is more efficent than a 4GHz Single-Core.

It has more than enough RAM...for now...so that's the important thing, and even when the next-gen starts it should still have enough to have games ported to it with no issues.


more than enough ram? lets be honest here thats no way "more than enough" modern day PC's usually have 8 GB of ram (a good one for gaming that is) some go up to 16 GB's. so 1 GB honestly is a littel ram, much better than the PS3 and 360. but in term of RAM the WiiU doesnt pack much

The next xbox and PS will not have 8GB of RAM. Comparing PCs memory to a console's is pointless. PCs will always have significantly more because the RAM used is cheaper. X360 was using DDR2 when DDR1 was mainstream 7 years ago. Wii U is reported to be using GDDR4 RAM.

The best looking PC game running on a machine with 16GB RAM and the best GPU does not look 20x better than the best looking console game with 512MB RAM and an old ass GPU.

Crysis 3 on the best PC is not "massively" superior to the x360 version.

It will be. Even comparing Crysis 2 on PC (with the HD texture pack and DX11 patch) vs 360 version is like night and day.


Sorry. Meant Crysis 2. Everyone one knows it is much better on the PC. No one will argue that.

It was meant in the context of what was written before.

Leaving the DX11 and HD patch out of it (the xbox didn't get those enhancements as far as I know) and taking into account the speed of technological improvements that are made to PC CPUs and GPUs every few months, it should be indeed be night and day over a seven year console.

I just didn't think it was.

I used Crysis 2 for the sake of a straight comparison and it is not even close to being the best looking console game. Maybe I would have been better off using Halo 4 or Uncharted 3.

Sorry about derailing the thread. Let's see now... I really don't know that much about memory.


ummmm, Crysis 2 was built for consoles though, that's why Crysis 2 doesn't even look better than Crysis 1, most of the features that'd push the PC weren't even implemented into Crysis 2 so I'm not sure it's a good comparison. I mean, you can't hope to run something like Planetside 2 in maxed settings on a console and that's just on high settings ATM(I'm sure full release will have Ultra settings). I'm talking like a shit ton of things going on at once with aircrafts, fuck ton of tanks, a fuck ton of people running around at a really really far view distance here and I'm playing at 1080p 60 FPS and all, I mean, if you wanna talk about stressing a PC, Battlefield is no longer the correct benchmark, this is what you do:

not to mention that it's crazier in the game than this trailer, the battles are at least 5x as massive as this trailer, at least, on a huge ass continues map, and the second map just came out in beta.
