When I played the Wii versions of COD I was genuinely surprised at how good they were, and using the Wii Zapper was the best way to play COD. It's a fair point to say that as the % of RAM available between Wii/PS3 and Wii U/PS4 is about the same and therefore PS4 titles should be able to be ported over to Wii U with some concessions made.
Does anyone know if it is possible for the Wii U to utilise more of its 2GB of RAM in the future with a system update?

Nintendo could potentially allow more than 1GB for the games if they can streamline the OS and just make it more efficient. The PS3 did this where Sony later on allocated more RAM for games through a system update. So I don't see why Nintendo couldn't either.


If thats true then why  didnt have enough ram to do cross chat? Some things that are developed are set in stones in the hardware specs. Software is another issue I think.

Thanks. 70 MB isn't much though.

It's a lot for current gen where 252MB was available for games on PS3 initially iirc. 70MB is a huge boost over that.


You make a good point. In the next gen thats not going to fly, thats probably the train of thought I was in.

A similar proportional reduction of the Wii U OS would free up 580MB of RAM.


True, but it depends on how much really needs to be cut.
