Really? What should be corrected, and with what?

And more importantly, why?



@Hynad

Computational performance of Wii U's GPU is not 176 GFLOPS, it is either 281.6 or 352 GFLOPS.
- If Wii U GPU was 160 SPU then it would have been smaller
- Chipworks die shot shows 8 blocks in which are SRAM registers and SPUs
- Wii U GPU is customized and it not part of ordinary off the shelf GPUs from AMD
- 160 SPU/176 GFLOPS theory would have been correct if;
* standard design used in AMDs was being used which is symetrical and not asymetrical layout
* AMD never made a VLIW based GPU with 32 SRAM registers for each SPU block
* If it was a 160 SPU GPU then it would have had 4-5 SPU blocks and not 8
* Various developers stated that Wii U is stronger, atleast 50%
# Xbox 360 GPU is 240 GFLOPS, Wii U GPU is 352 GFLOPS max(nearly 50% difference/advantage)

Also take a look at latest Mario Kart 8 footage on Youtube and compare it to Sonic All Star Racing Transformed, Modnation Racing/Kart and Little Big Planet Kart on HD twins. You can compare directly captured screencaps/shots with Mario Kart 8s latest video. Please note that Youtube has atrocious compression that causes severe artifacts and compression blocks which can in some parts of videos lower IQ of footage by two thirds or to put it bluntly the compression decreases quality/detail of taken footage by over 50%.

The proof is out there and denial will not make it gone...

I am on smartphone so it would be a drag to respond let alone put links and only way I could be throught html editjng which would such a pain... If you resist the truth then it will be such a drag and Beyond 3D is now less in denial about Wij Us capabilities... The misinformation must stop sooner or later.

That would still be misinformation. As those are guess work at best, just like everything else.



Where does it say Xbox One is directx12 capable? :O

It would have been misinformation if there was no proof/evidence and if those were guess works at best then there would not be any proof/evidence to prove my thesis which is correct and proof is out there. You just need to look a bit and you will easily find it... Denial wont do you anything good. Stay Gafless...

Spin it as much as you want. Your claims are still as empty as anyone else's.

Come back once you get cold hard facts. Something set in stone. Until then, keep on speculating.



@Hynad

If my statements/claims were empty then there would not proof/evidence for it and I have gave you what you wanted so what is the problem then...? Is being factual is speculative to you when I explained you already and stated the facts thus what is the problem? If being factual is being speculative then I cant help you because you are still deny it even when it is a known fact...

I have as simple as possible for you to understand and if you still can not comprehend then I can not help you, its a lost case and the denial will continue. You ask cold hard facts yet you deny them ... Decide... Do you want or do you not want what you ask for... Its your choice...

I have already explained you...



The PS4 has 2 USB 3.0 in front. I haven't checked the back.



Well everyone can see Mario Kart could certainly use some flops .

EDIT: Seriously though, it's just that nobody knows exactly what's up with the WiiU either way. For the good or the bad, there's never any real proof.
