The Wii on the otherhand was a whole generation behind but had motion control and wii sports, which at the time really appealed to the mass market, that's what made the Wii sell, it's level of power was irrelevant. The WiiU is a different story, not only is it going to be vastly behind tech wise but it's new "innovative" controller does not have the same appeal to the mass market that the wiimote had. The wiiu so far offers very little in comparison to current generation consoles, it's not going to fare well against the next gen systems from Sony and Microsoft. |
Marginally weaker? Please name one game on PS1 that even remotely looked as good as Majora's Mask. I'll reiterate again that as for that console war, dream cast was already dropping out by the timeGC and Xbox came around making the PS2 the weakest console, which ended up being the clear market winner.
The Wii U is not vastly behind in the same way the Wii was. I'd say at most the PS4/720 from the current rumoured specs are 4 times more powerful whereas the PS3/360 were at minimum 10X. We are not going to see the same difference in graphics as we did last generation and this will be confirmed once 3rd party games that are being developed for the next gen get ported to the Wii U.
I completely agree with you on that one and as Iwata explained, this is due to the fact that the final versions of the Wii U dev kits were not given to developers until several months before the Wii U's release which was a huge fault on Nintendo's behalf. I believe Nintendo's E3 showings will lay to rest any comparisons of the Wii U to the current gen.
