Are people really still arguing/concerned with cpu speed/power??? Remember Skyrim on the "most powerful system of the 7th gen"? That was a RAM issue I heard. And what about ps3 having graphics way ahead of the 360? Oh dang, $599.00 and the cell doesn't mean a better GPU, bummer.

I buy Nintendo so I can play Nintendo games, not so I can pretend cpu power = high performance games.

Yep, people (I guess especially PS3 fanboys) seems to happily forget the Skyrim PS3 fiasco! I guess the move from calling Bethesda a crap to developer to calling Wii U a crap syatem. lol

It'll be interesting to see how many of these gokers that couldn't afford a Vita would be able to go out and buy a PS4 at launch. It seems they have not leaned from the whole 3DS vs Vita debate. But time will tell.

Happy gaming and discussion all.

LOL, a fiasco that sold more than 4M. 


it was a silly comparison anyway, comparing, ONE game out of PS3's library to a few on Wii U...oh boy.

I can't be bothered to mention the others. But just for argument sake, just look up how Gears of War went from a potential Sony PS3 game to and Xbox 360 exclusive. It should tell you a bit about the power (or lack thereof) of the PS3.

could, be, but this is just one of the many games early in the life of the PS3 that developers transferred to the 360 simple because as they claimed, the PS3 was either to hard to develop for or was underpowered.

that could be possible, some devs were having issues
