| Jankelope said: I find it interesting that Wii U is literally half the size of both ps3 slim and xbox 360 slim, yet also packs comparable processing power, uses less energy, and runs infinately more quietly. It also runs last gen AAA games with gamepad support AT LAUNCH. Just think in 2 years when the hardware is fully utilized what kind of power we will get from this machine |
Will still get easily smoked by the PS4/720.
Nintendo put the emphasis on power efficiency, that's probably what they ended up spending most of their R&D on, precisely what you said -- getting about PS3/360 level power + the ability to run a low res second screen into a 33 watt power range and a small casing. That's what their emphasis was on.
Also I don't see the box ever being pushed that hard. There aren't many games that maxed out the existing Wii, lol, Nintendo ditched a lot of developers like Rare and Factor 5 that would push their hardware to the max in the past.
Third parties don't give a crap.
