I thought the PS3 used the same GPU as the Geforce 7800GT

I don't think there's any need in geting all elitist all of a sudden. It suffices not to pay atention to those threads which are not worth it. All this debate gave the thread some little legs to walk, at least a couple of comments.

Many times I legitemately wrote threads in which I was interested but the community not. I had  a right to propose it, the community had a right to not be interested in it. Everybody wins.

Now, about he punctuation and proper gramar, I share your concern. If we, not english speakers, try really really hard to give the language the respect it deserves, moreso all of you, who are our reference at the same time. But excluding people does not necesarily bring more benefits than helping them do things properly.

Correct.  Or at least it is based on the 7800.

Fans were hoping for the 8xxx series as it launched at the same time as the PS3.

we should also not allow people to post in the news section, who think the death of a five year old is funny, but what are we gonna do about it?

the wiiu will sell like n64 or gamecube

Quite impossible. 50 million, bare minimum. Even if it ends up being only as appealing as the GameCube, general market expansion and the fact that, unlike the GameCube, it's releasing before its main competitors, should give it more impetus than the GameCube had even if Nintendo's support is just as lackadaisical as it was for the GC

This thread made me giggle

journalists from ign and other sites have claimed that the controller is light and comfortable

nintendo has experience with online gaming some games on the wii had online modes although it is generally accepted that the service isn't as good as the ones provided by sony and microsoft

the final specs and therefore power and also the pricing of the system haven't been confirmed ( although the tech demos shown imo don't seem much more impressive than the HD twins its important to bare in mind that it they may not be representative of the final console )

developers will get excited whenever they have a new tool to play with especially one that has distinctive features ( like the wii u's tablet functions )

and there are more points you made that were just unfounded from any of the info we have so far

It is unfortunate that I don't really remember much about the public reception of the launch of systems before the N64 (wasn't nearly as much speculation back them), but from the systems I do remember the lead-up to their launch the most successful system has always had a significant number of vocal critics who proclaim that the system is doomed long before it launches. I think most people remember the doomsayers of the Wii and Nintendo DS who were certain that they were going to flop; but even the PS2 had many critics who believed that because Sega and Nintendo were doing everying right and the Microsoft was introducing the XBox and the PS2 was going to struggle in a more competitive market. A large portion of the reason so many people predict so poorly is they fail to see or understand certain trends that will dominate that generation of consoles.

One trend that has been (more or less) completely ignored by many people is the movement towards more and more "interactive entertainment" that really began with several games released on the Nintendo DS. It is (in my opinion) very likely that how well suited your system is to teach people to draw, speak another language, or excercise in their living room will be as important to the success of your console as how well suited it is to the latest and greatest videogames.

Or, to put it another way, it is entirely possible that the market could move in one direction because of the Wii U which could easily make it remarkably popular regardless of what the doomsayers say.

Be that as it may but it's sure dazzling after a few seconds lol

Many threads like this were made regarding Wii now those all have been proven wrong.
