See, that's not the point though. The difference is moderately large, but it's not big enough to say that it will be "impossible" to port games. I'm certain that Wii U has enough horsepower to surpass PS3/360 and run PS4/X1 games one way or another, but considering how developers are treating it, they won't want to port games for the console if it will give them nothing in return. Next-generation is going to be more expensive to develop for than the current gen, and downporting it to Wii U will likely be quite costly. Again, it won't be impossible, but the fact that they think they'll need to invest quite a bit to make it happen is something they're looking down on, and that's the problem with Wii U's overall power. Recall that many developers are claiming it to be "underpowered". More powerful than PS360 for sure, (developers who say otherwise need to get their acts together, looking at you, all of EA) but not as powerful as they want. Wii U not selling well right now can also play a factor to those developer decisions. If Wii U were selling immensly, then I'm sure a few developers would consider next-gen ports to the system. I guess I should have mentioned that sales are also affecting their decisions, combined with the specs, and the fact that the architecture is very different. |
bolded: hell no. you don't understand what scalability is, do you? and wii u isn't too far behind the others in the first place. as it was said many times before, wii u vs ps4/xone versions will be like the same game on a pc at medium settings vs high/ultra
