| Soundwave said: You can't get the performance of a next-generation device in a 33 watt chip. It's impossible unless Nintendo magically got a chip like 5-6 years from the future. The XB1/PS4 were always going to destroy the Wii U performance wise. I believe Nintendo's goal with the Wii U console was always that "PS3/360-level graphics are good enough, what we're going to do is provide a lower power consumption and smaller casing size". That's the design philosophy and always was going to be because the Wii was so successful using basically a chip comparable to the XBox/GCN, just moderately improved. They were always going to bet on the same overall formula again. |
Sort of off topic, but I got my Wii U recently and I'm disappointed with the console's size. It's roughly the size of a PS3 slim, yet still has the power bar out. I'd really like to know what happened there. Especially at 33watt consumption.
