Wow shocking news! A "next gen" console surpasses a console has a superior version of a game... honestly nintendo is pathetic at hardware. To JUST inch ahead of 6 year old consoles is pretty sad.


it isn't Nintys fault. It is Iwata's he is running the company into the ground. Ninty used to make great hardware before he came around just look at the N64. A powerhouse for its time. They need to get Iwata out ASAP



N64 is the worst designed hardware out of all Nintendo consoles, Silicon grafix really did a poor job at helping N build a machine, it just had stupid bottlenecks that hampered the performance dramatically.


Yes it had flaws but it was still a beast. With great games.



Never said the contrary, N64 is the console of my childhood, the one that made me fall in love with videogames.


The Gamecube was also a powerhouse with less flaws than the N64.


The gamecube, except for its strange design, was one heck of a console. It was fast, had great graphics, and a near perfect controller. Certainly my favorite from its gen. But it didn't sell... So they came up with the Wii... -__-

Will all the money they made with the Wii, they could have gone the extra mile and make the Wii U an actual powerhouse.  But nope... 
The consolation will be that with this console, we'll finally get to play Nintendo's great franchises (3D Mario, Zelda and Metroid, in my case) in HD for the very first time ever (I mean actual new games with HD assets from the get-go, so PC emulation is out =P). Even if the console can barely output visuals better than the HD Twins, it will still be the console for which the best versions of these games can be played on. And it will be interesting to see what they use the gamepad for with those games.
