Forums - Nintendo - Why sub-par Wii U rumours are nonsense!

Still the rumors will get to people anyway.

The problem with this video is that the GPU is also rumored, and not official, we still don't know the specs, so thats why the rumors are plausible.



it really doesn't matter what the rumors are to be honest. as long as Wiiu can deliver its premise then i'm good.

i just want a system from ninty that can deliver on the quality of gaming they're known for.



My theory is that to save money nintendo is just going to take the guts out of the 3DS and put them in the wii U case.

Yay! Now we can all stop with this non-sense about the Wii U being graphically inferior to current generation consoles. Right? Right!?

I’m sure there will be another one within a week and people will go ”oh shit, this is so true!!”.

 

Trust me even when videos are out people will say it looks worse than PS360 as haters see what they want not what’s there

It's stating the obvious really. Basically all "rumours" in gaming news aren't believable and aren't backed up by anything.

Wii U will obviously be more powerful than current gen consoles.



I'm pretty sure NOBODY actually believes the Wii U will be inferior to current gen consoles (spec wise).

This is exactly why i said earlier in another thread that there will be very little difference overall between the Wii U, 720 and PS4. They're all using similar GPU chipsets made by the same company, and just because the rumored GPUs in the PS4 and 720 are 2-3 generations newer than the Wii U's, performance-wise the Wii U will be more than able to hold its own, and is a definite step up from the current gen HD consoles.

The most interesting part of the video IMO is the comparisons of the CPUs... lately we've been hearing how allegedly piss-poor the Wii U's CPU is compared to even the PS3's Cell, but if the final product is anything like what the video describes, then once again there's nothing to worry about as the Wii U will blow the current gen systems out of the water.

Of course, it's all up to Nintendo to show off what the Wii U is actually capable of at E3... they better come out with guns blazing showing off some software that puts the current gen systems to shame, or else these rumors of the Wii U being underpowered are only going to persist.


but that's really the key part though isn't it.  anyone who thinks this video serves are proof that the wiiU will be powerful is suffering from just as much wishful thinking as the haters that believe any of the other rumors that speak to the contrary.

Well it depends what you mean by powerful? If by powerful you mean comparable to higher-end PCs and/or Durango/PS4 well then no, that's impossible to know. If by powerful you mean more powerful than the PS360 then I think this video, while of course not absolute proof, serves as a useful and illustrative tool to show how wildly implausible the recent "Wii U will only be on par with PS360" rumours really are.
