It would require a huge amount of time and development from IBM and Nintendo, with a lot of testing, to fit the console's needs. Nobody wants a loud system anymore nowadays, especially not a system which draws a lot of power.

Nintendo won't go PPC again. They will go with "standard" hardware which can be seen now in many devices and change some things which are quite easy to change and will benefit the needs of the system Nintendo has in mind.

The Wii U is the most energy efficiënt and quietest systems of the 3. They have a long standing partnership with IBM, we don't really know what they could get out of it.


It consumes less power, because it is less powerful. Energy efficient is a totally different story. How do you measure it?

Well, they must have done something about efficiëncy, as the Wii only draws 40 Watts while idle, the Wii U only draws 37 Watts. Meanwile, the PS4 and the Xbox One draw from 200 to about 350 Watts idle respectivly, while the standard Jaguar parts only draw 25 Watts idle.
