So what does this mean for the Wii U?

Nothing that we really didn't already know. Just further confirmation of what WiiU CPU will have.

The OP and 2nd post are unchanged and still the best and latest info we have regarding next-gen's systems. The 2nd post goes into the CPUs more specifically if you're interested.

It doesn't matter. "You will say 'wow'"

Really, the WiiU's specs are kinda irrelevant until the release of PS720, since that's what we'll be comparing the WiiU with (unless it's really shitty and is more similar to PS360...)

Yeah but confirming the POWER7 thing shows how the Wii U will be a more modern processor and probably much better compared to 360/ps3 than what other rumours are saying.

Which is why I made the thread with PS4/neXtBox rumors.

Oh I know, but it'll probably be another year before we know the specs for PS720... which is kind of a bore! I don't wanna wait that long

Good thread! If these rumors are true, they pretty much confirm what I've been saying the last 2 weeks or so. The difference between WiiU and PS720 will be marginal. Especially if PS4 decides to go with an x86 APU. I can hardly wait to get some real numbers from the hardware.

Updated OP (only first post) with today's stuff on Wii U. I don't think its right, but I figured it might be good to put in OP.

I wouldnt put any weight at all on those rumors from today, seems to go against everything we've seen so far...
