So, chunk, If I´m not mistaken, you were assuming (don´t know if you still are) the Wii U - Durango/Orbis gap would be like the one we saw with PS2 - GC/Xbox, with the Wii U being 'the PS2', while Durango/Orbis would be 'GC/Xbox'...now, if the latest info is correct, would the gap be larger than you thought?

I´m not talking Wii - PS3/X360 gap here, but larger than PS2 - GC/Xbox was, something in the middle of those two situations.

At this point I still think its PS2 to Xbox, yes. But this is also hard for some to grasp as many give too much credit to PS2 and even try to argue it was at or better than Gamecube... it clearly isn't.

Also, keep in mind the Wii to Ps360 gap was pretty much almost generational as it not only included a raw power gap, but also a lack of certain technological features. Whereas WiiU will have all the same technical features and a similar architecture, just less raw power.

This should mean differences more like the settings on an average PC game. WiiU would be medium and others max.... or WiiU required and others recommended and so on.

But could it be argued that the gap between Wii U and PS720 will be more like Dreamcast vs GC/Xbox, rather than PS2 vs GC/Xbox?

Possibly, but I dont' think it makes much of a difference. Its still far from Wii vs PS360.


I think it will be more like DC vs PS2 or even GCN than DC vs GCN and Xbox.  The original Xbox was considered a huge leap compared to PS1 and N64...I am not seeing that on any of these so called new gen systems.  So it'll be more like DC vs PS2 for Wii U owners; and it'll be a toss up between 720 and PS4 IMHO. Like SC said it won't make that much of a diff for all 3 systems.
