Oh boy, I can't wait for Etho and others all of a sudden start praising how wonderful a GPGPU is and how it will change gaming after reading that thing while it didn't matter on the Wii U :P

As the article points out, the Wii U is capable of using GPGPU (this is a method of computing, not a specific type of GPU), but is doing it with "arguably weak chips."  If the GPU proves to be quite weak, then there isn't going to much of an advantage to using the GPU as a GPGPU.  The PS4 and NeXbox, if this rumor proves to be true, are going to be built with this method in mind, so should still come with very good CPUs and GPUs.

Just how powerful do you think MS and Sony chips will be anyways? :P They will all be weak lol.

Sony has never released a console that was only marginally powerful compared to the previous gen, and they are not going to start now.  The only people who think the PS4 is going to be a slight upgrade from the PS3 are Nintendo fans who are praying the gap in graphics won't be a large as it was this gen.  But considering Wii U is currently trying to compete (and in some cases losing) against current gen consoles, it seems the graphical gap will be similar.


Pretty much this.
Cause 3rd Party support is only guaranteed as long as the WiiU can keep up with the better selling consoles without wasting to much money on developing an extra version...Right now these are the PS360.You just use something between PC and PS360.Not a lot of effort cause its already there.
But then when everything is moving on again...PC > PS4Nextbox and probably by far then the WiiU 3rd Party Devs will think about it twice again especially after the WiiU is MAYBE not so strong with 3rd party games.
Nintendo Fans FEAR exactly that - But I mean who cares..After the SNES Era Nintendo always was about the 1st Party Studios and their franchises.If you don't wanted Zelda and Mario you didn't need to buy a Nintendo console.For everything else other consoles pushed the market.


But @ PS4 Hardware
My Source told me it will come with a special technology from aliens.
My Source is my cat and he is a pretty good analyst.He know his stuff.He is best friends with Pachter.
