| Chrizum said: I now confirmed Nintendo's Wii-U network has major issues. The Wii-U does not have the same network servers as the Wii. Proof: I downloaded a WiiWare game from the Wii shop today and it download within seconds. I downloaded the same game from the Wii-U shop and it took me around 6 minutes(!) |
I'm still betting on network traffic being the culprit more than anything else.
Right now you have tons of new people every day all hitting the servers. All hitting eShop for new games. All updating the two 5GB and 500MB updates. I bet it will largely correct itself as this early traffic goes away and things calm down. However, it is clearly the Nintendo servers and not the console itself. The console wireless is great as online play and browswer use is nearly identical to my PC on a wired connection. (I have fast cable internet plus wifi-n dual channel)
