Bethesda: Wii U is "not on our radar". "It's largely a hardware thing."

[HoloDust]

Apparently, certain individual here, who's basing his assumptions on random beliefs of how hardware actually works, think that WiiU is only half XOne...

So, what he's basically saying is that WiiU's GPU is comparable to:

4770@750MHz, 640:32:16 VLIW5 40nm part or 667O@800MHz, 480:24:16 VLIW5 40nm part...

Or perhaps he thinks that WiiU is 28nm fab, and that Nintendo downclocked 7750 to 550MHz, 512:32:16 GCN part?

Cause THAT'S around what is needed to be half the XOne in performance when you look at real life GPU tests.

I'd say it is truly amazing how Nintendo managed to cram so much in such a small silicon with such a low TDP, without resorting to some exotic alien tech. Except, unless in imagination of certain people, those numbers and real life don't really match up, so what's inside WiiU is nowhere near that.

So, while that individual can keep correcting my statements as much as he like (I have quite a good laugh out of it), it doesn't change the fact that WiiU is quite below what he keeps trying to convince less tech educated people around here, all based on his complete ignorance in how hardware actually works in real life.
