Wonder what pezus and oniyide have to say about this...

Anyways, as I've been saying for two months now, I always predicted that the PS4 wouldn't be the graphical leap that so many were expecting. Some Sony fans think I'm crazy and proceeded the knock the Wii U for not being the leap over the PS360 that the want and said the PS4 would be just that. I wonder if they change their tune once the PS4 isn't the leap that they expect and suddenly become fine with the PS4 being "underpowered" (the word they used to describe the Wii U) after knocking the Wii U so much for not being a huge leap. Not saying the OP is true. But I don't doubt that it may end up being true.

We shall see!

 

EDIT:  I don't think the WiiU had anything to do with this decision, assuming it's true.  It's moreso Sony learning its lesson that a powerful Godbox that's expensive to develop for and selling at a loss will mean the end of them.

Did you not read these specs? 8-16gigs of RAM(4-8 for retail versions) and one of the newest AMD APUs. 
From the looks of this, this is already a much better console than the PS3. I'd say at the very least, 2 Wii U's taped together.

The thing about the Wii U is that it is a weak console for being next-gen. Especially considering the fact that it is directly competing with 360/PS3 right now. We haven't seen any games that give off that next-gen vibe.(not power-wise). With Wii U its all about the controller. If it wasn't for that controller, the Wii U could be launching in 2 weeks at $250. Compare this to the PS4 which will most likely launch at $400.

I don't read stats, so don't be mad and defensive.  I'm not really interested in fighting with you over something you seem to be so emotionally invested in.  Your response had nothing to do with what I said.  You're talking about Wii U, I'm talking about PS4.  But two Wii U's taped together is not the major leap I think most are expecting from previous conversations I've had with people which YOU were NOT apart of.  Not interested in talking about Wii U's power relative to being next gen or not, it's not an issue for me.  My point is it'll be interesting what people's response will be once the PS4 is confirmed to not be as powerful as many folks think and how everyone who bashed the Wii U for being "underpowered" will react (which I anticipate they'll all of a sudden be ok with a marginal leap!).  It's just speculation on my part though.  PS4 could be a Godbox again, who knows.  But I doubt it.
