We haven't what Wii U can really do, not by a long shot.


Do you reckon we ever will?

I mean, judging by this, Nintendo's first parties are the ones who will achieve it.  But I'm just wondering if there's any among their roster who would actually push the hardware to its limits other than Retro.

 

OT:  Hard-to-develop-for hardware isn't the end of the world.  After all, that's what the PS2 was.  And the PS3.  The difference with those two consoles being one was the undisputed market leader with an insane amount of hype behind it; and the other was a console which Sony were absolutely determined could not fail and threw insane amounts of money behind to achieve success.

Do you all think Nintendo would be willing to do the same thing here?

yes hard to develope for is something, but sony always made powerful consoles, the main problem is not that's its hard to develope for, the problem is the console cannot easily run lastgen games and has no chance of running nextgen games, we have heard from the dvelopers saying the wiiu is weaker, equal, slighty more powerful, or more powerful, so which one is it, its having  trouble running games that have over 150 million install base and 7 year old tech thats the problem.
