Wat. I didnt say anything about the Wii U except for it's hardware. I love Nintendo, but I also think its sad that they don't design more powerful hardware. The hardware is bad, its a fact, it wont stop my from buying the wii u, and this has nothing to do with my gaming preferences.

It's not a fact, it's your opinion.
|
i think he meant the hardware is under powered, thats a fact.
|
Not really. Considering the 30W that the Wii U draws, I would actually consider it over powered based on the results it has shown graphically-wise.
|
my point was for a console released in 2012 its very under powererd.
|
Hardware being focussed on being small, cool, quiet, reliable, backwards-compatible, and power-efficient rather than bleeding-edge powerful doesn't necessarily make it "bad".
|
did i say it was bad.
|
No, you didn't. ToraReaper did, I was referring to his post. My point is, if he considers it bad for not being as powerful as the PS4 or a high-end PC, that's fine, it's his opinion, but it doesn't make the hardware being "bad" a "fact", as he claims it is.
|
It is underpowered, thats what I meant by bad. Its using very primitive hardware, I'm not comparing it to PC or PS4. It's not like I'm calling is pile of shit, I DO look forward to getting one. I'm just not blind to the fact that the hardware is outdated and weak.
|
Please show me a system that will provide similar graphical capabilities on two screems, and only draw 30W. The system is obviously not underpowered when comparing the watt usage , sure if you compare it to a gamaing PC it will be less pwerful in crunching numbers but performance per watt the Wii U is an absolute beast. Its like comparing a vespa to a ford f350. The ford is obviously much much more powerful, but does that mean the vespa is underpowered?

Hardware evolves, power consumption is irrelevant, a console is simply a box housing computer components. The components in the Wii U, sure they use low power and produce little heat, but it's very weak for modern hardware. Also a vespa isn't in the same league as a F-150. One is a scooter and the other is a work truck. They are entirely different beasts... and the vespa is underpowered, its not meant to be powerful, its just a little bike to get around town with.
Edit: I just want to let everyone know, I'm honestly no hating on nintendo, i LOVE nintendo, I just think their hardware is poor.
