You guys should check out my thread: Why PS4 won't be cutting edge, and neither will x3ox - a lot of interesting things have shown up in the discussion between me and Tachikoma: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=147821&page=1#

Like: Power wise i'm going to be blunt with power/capability:

PS2 < XBOX < Wii < PS3 < WiiU < 360 < 720 < PS4 < PC

So there you go folks, PS720 will be quite the leap over Wii U, and I'll probably hate Nintendo the whole next gen since this means I'll have to rely a bit too much on my PC for 3rd party titles...


I thought we already pegged Wii U at 2-2.5x the theoretical power of PS3 or 360.

The 3.2ghz 3 core PPC Xenon offers more raw power than the 1.24ghz 3 core PPC 'Espresso', despite the newer architecture in the 'Epresso' processor, and the performance outlay of the two 500mhz ATI gpus used in both isn't all that different, either, the WiiU's gpu is 50mhz faster but in being strapped to the cpu with much slower clock speed the overall result is that on a power to power scale, despite the technological advancements in the hardware used, the 360 still scrapes just ahead in power but benefits greatly by the much more unified and extensively documented graphical platform, and much more advanced functionality offered by it's SDK.

Earlier comment that the GPU is 1.5-2x more powerful is just wrong.
