no, i don't recall games being announced as 1080p, i do remember the console being anounced as 1080p capable. And when you said devs have to go around "the hardware weakness" to port las gen titles, that was just laughable and shows you don't have a clue about what you're talking. |
Well your wrong. Since it's a new console everybody expected it to at least run games in 1080p.
Nintendo's representatives at the Chicago Wii U Experience also confirmed that Assassin's Creed 3 will be running at 1080p unlike its counterparts on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, providing gamers with a pretty good reason to pick up the Wii U once it comes out.
Anyway it's a bit stupid to keep repeating the same thing. The Wii U just isn't a next gen console in the traditional sense. We all seen the games, developers all say the same thing and I really don't know how much more prove you need. The Wii U is awesome for people who enjoy the iconic Nintendo franchises or want to buy a more family friendly console for the kids. However, if you really expect next gen graphics then you just bought the wrong console dude. Even Ubisoft, who are supporting the Wii U for 100%, state that it's not a next gen console in the traditional sense.
“Wii U is not a traditional next-gen machine in terms of raw power. The console’s unique features make it a next generation console.”
So like I said in my first post, the Wii might do well but only if they can reach a bigger audience by luring in the casuals again. As a core gaming machine it's just not going to work out for Nintendo though, and it will never reach more then 5% of the total sales of games like MW, especially when they use next gen engines that the Wii U won't run.
