It was more powerful, except for the Weak CPU though. Way better GPU, better ram. Like I said, the thing that crippled it was the Power PC architecture. Nobody is working on those anymore, it's X86, ARM or GTFO. PowerPC was a joint creation of IBM and Apple, and Apple stopped using it in 2005... 2005!!!!! Maybe PowerPC is still used somewhere else, but in videogames and in consumer products? It's over and done.There was a lot of behind the scenes talks saying that the WiiU was a nightmare to develop for. But it was a powerful console, much more than " taping a few Wii consoles together", now it wasn't powerful enough to run all PS4/one games, and the Switch won't be either, but at least the Switch is easy to develop for, it's not an out of date console, it's a cutting edge Handheld. |
If memory serves all gen 7 consoles were using the PPC architecture. Wii U using the same architecture it used since the GCN shouldn't have been a handicap. Especially since devs have been using it for years.
