the delusion that never ends.


I think thats what people actually think of your posts. You clearly have very little understanding of hardware.  It's a fact the wii u's main memory is much lower bandwidth that ps3 and 360 and the cpu performance is much less. It also lacks a hard drive and the ability to stream in data quickly. Not forgetting  it uses the same dated and low cost fabricaiton process as the 360 and PS3 not the 28nm  process of the ps4/xbone. Then to add to that it actually uses far less power than 360 and PS3. The only unknown is the GPU but much of the fabrication space is taken up by wii gpu and other area's related to streaming the image to the gamepad.

However even if you ignore that the vast majority of wii u games simply don't perform at the same level as ps3 and 360.

So you have this huge body of evidence and yet people like yourself who choose their own warped reality instead of looking at the facts still pretend the wii u is powerful.

It never was, it's the same situation as the original wii, weak hardware sold at inflated prices. Doesn't mean it s a bad console and doesn't mean it doesn't have fantastic games but it simply isn't capable of matching 360 and PS3 for many games due to low cpu performance and that additional 1/2GB of memory  is not a full substitute for a built in hard drive especially as its very low bandwidth.

I own all three consoles and its an easy win for 360 and PS3 when it comes to technically accomplished games you can pretend otherwise but that is the reality.

Of course many parts of the wii u are superior to 360 and PS3 but then many other parts are much inferior, the end result is  a console that generally performs to a lower level than ps3 and 360 but for some games can outperform them due to its more recent gpu architecture and larger 32MB of fast memory.  Clearly though if a game needs large cpu resources then the wii u will struggle because it simply isn't competitive at all in cpu performance.

If the wii u was on that graph for cpu performance it would be about 15 and for gpu performance likely around 176-352 gflops likely 176 gflops. The ps3 gpu about 200 and the xbox gpu about 250.  Admittedly though even at 176 gflops the wii u gpu would easily outperform 360 and PS3 as its a later architecture with a much improved feature set and is linked to 32MB of very fast memory but that still won't help with its ridiculously low cpu performance.

 


Don't waste your time with him.  he knows that he will get ban before any reply, besides, he is the one that believe Wii U is comparable to ps4/xb1 so it's pointless arguing with him.  let him enjoy being in his alternate life believing whatever he wants.
