How will the Wii U fit games on the PS4, if the PS4 will have 7GB RAM available?

S.T.A.G.E. said:

The issues the Wii U is having is a tech issue and nothing more. Wattage has absolutely nothing to do with it. Third party devs need powerful hardware that is a jump from last gen and the Wii U is on par with last gen. They cannot realize their goals for next gen with the Wii U's tech, plain and simple. People can defend Nintendo all they want but we're talking tech here not the fact that this is a new Nintendo console. Nintendo will get its own games and they will mostly be exclusive. A lot of people will most likely enjoy them regardless of the ignorance. I will have a Wii U as well but I want a next gen console first before I get a Nintendo console for its exclusives.

Ignorance seems to go two ways...

I think Wii U will get noticably more 3rd party exclusives, and more multiplatform games. I think games like Mass Effect 4 (which I think will be available on Wii U since it's based on the Frostbite engine, same engine as Mass Effect 3), and Assassin's Creed 4 will sell decently well on Wii U, enough to justify designing games compatible with Wii U.

That said, there will be a lot of MP games not released on Wii U (e.g. FPS's like Destiny and Battlefield 4), but then again, are these the people we consider "core gamers?"

With regards to the thread at hand, Wii U is not a compeditor to the PS4/Nextbox, it's its own thing, but it will get a lot more 3rd party support then the Wii did. Like I said, I think Wii U will do better in Japan, PS4 will do better in Eu, and 720 will do better in USA. Overall, I dunno how it will go, but we will see games representative of each region become more common on said devices.
