Its on the internet so it must be true?


 Wiiu having trouble running most 360/ps3 games  makes anything believable, who would have thought this would happen after such a long generation.

Wiiu having trouble running most 360/ps3 games?  What 360/ps3 games are those?

AC4, batman orgins, and COD ghosts are all running 5-10 frames behind the 360/ps3 versions, and most launch games had the same problem, AC3, blops 2, micky mouse, and batman arkham city, even resident evil revelations.

it's the way you worded it that i had "trouble" with.  360/ps3 games run fine on the Wii U.  Calling one or two frame drops "trouble running" sounded hyperbole.

It's not just momentary frame drops, just go look at the DF video with the PS360 version of AC4 running mostly between 32 & 26 FPS consistantly (with an occasional momentary drop, especially on PS3) but the Wii U version struggles to maintain even 24 FPS and goes all over the map when stuff is actually happening, spending lots of time in 20 fps land.

I watched the video just now and can see your point.  That's an unusual case it seems.  Not most cases.  I would still not say it has trouble running it.  In the video i can't see the difference except numerically.    I play the game everyday on Wii U and it's glorious.   No trouble at all.
