wii u is my next console, thats the truth



What?... Why... why am I watching this? I'm so confused, the title makes not much sense to me.

(And geez... hoy many times do people say dope?)



Never doubted it for a second. The real question is just how much of a punch the WiiU will he packing. I still doubt it will he more then 2.5x the power but 50% more powerful then PS3 sounds like the absolute weakest it will be. I wonder Epic said Unreal4 required a minimum of 10x the power of 360 but recently the rumor of 50% more powerful specifically stated PS3. So was Epic also talking PS3 or were they talking 360? If they were talking 360 I wonder how much more powerful a console would have to he over the PS3 to run it?

If Nintendo's WiiU is 2.5x the power of PS3 wouldn't that be almost 5x the power of 360?

Personally I am not holding my breath for a 5x the power of PS3. But if it was at least powerful enough to receive ports from NextBox/PS4 I would be happy. Problem is if we believe rumors Microsoft is in an arms race to make their system a super power. I'm not sure Nintendo can aim for the minimum specs and receive ports.

It will be interesting how Nintendo handles this. I suspect it will be a 1.5x to 2.5x the power of PS3 and likely fail to receive next Gen ports in massive quantities much as they did Wii. I cant see Nintendo getting into a arms race with Microsoft even if their intent isn't victory.

You are a desperate Nintendo fanboy.

The right answer.

The video didn't get into Nintendo in the first 3 Minutes... lost my attention.



This topic is the new 'who won 2011', eh? ;)

@Joelcool7: ''2.5x the power of the PS3 and 5x the power of the 360'' would mean that the PS3 is twice as powerful as the 360, which is quite obviously not the case.

You must scroll around to minute 8 or so.

 

@Joelcool7

From what I've been reading around the web, is like a PS360 in your TV and Upad with better effects. Sounds good if we take in count how awesome are Nintendo games in a less powerful Wii.

Well actually I think you'll find that T3H C3LL is 4 360s in one chip, thus making the PS3 8 times as fast because it runs at double the speed. 

Edit: Literal facepalm at people thinking I was serious.
