Next gen won't be the same as this gen. In this gen devs got away with just adding more assets or taking them away; compromising on textures or poly count to compensate for a system that lacked the specs. Next gen is a step too far for the Wiiu. They're be better AI, better physics, better lighting (although you could probably get away with this) and better graphics (but again you could probably get away with this). But then you have bigger worlds that require easy access to a huge amount of info. Not only is the Wiiu underpowered but it also lacks the HDD space to garner the enthusiasm from devs that next gen will. The Wiiu will find support for as long as the 360 and the PS3 are on the market. If both companies pull then Nintendo are fooked. |
Actually, the gap will be smaller this time around.
With Wii to PS360 is was single-core CPU and fixed function GPU to multi-core CPUs and programmable GPUs.
This time, it's multi-core to multi-core, and programmable to programmable.
