If the question is, "How much of a step up from the PS3 and 360 is the Wii U?" then the answer is, "An immeasurable one." You can put a clear value on power (although we haven't nailed that value down just yet), but you can't put a clear value on a different controller. Does the Wii U GamePad represent an improvement in controller design over Sony's DualShock? It's impossible to say for sure, because it's an obvious matter of opinion.

Yeah. An immeasurable one - 8GB hard drive. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/352365/full-wii-u-specs-allegedly-leaked-at-e3-tri-core-cpu-15gb-ram-8gb-flash/ though unofficial they still aren't buzzwords as you mention.

Did you read past that sentence?

If I hadn't, I wouldn't have bothered to quote.

 


Dengle was saying that while you can put a more objective view on hardware stats (which the 8GB Harddrive falls into), he then mentions that it turns into a more subjective approach when you start talking about how games are played and how enjoyment is received by that (which he mentions the unique controller).

You totally didn't understand his post. And then you confirmed it a second time. Grats buddy.

 

This is where ambiguity creeps in totally. If you say so and you really prefer to stick on to an impression that I quite didn't undertand the post let it be.

The reason why I posted the link on hardware stats was to imply Dengle on what's up the Ninty's sleeve thus leaving a question whether or not it would be enough to compete with other consoles in the next generation. The thread topic is 'what Next Gen is there', incase you failed to notice. Sadly you can't take down that as a matter of opinion(Sony and MS will come up with a hardware beast) and so is the case I imply one hundred percent with the subsequent playing and enjoyment. Neither Sony nor Microsoft are dumb enough not to innovate in something that would still live up to gamers' expectations on(hardware+controller+playing) and equally compete. Oh yeah, if that again is also a matter of opinion and hence deemed impossible to say for sure then why did Sony speculate about Book of Spells on changing how you play, why in the case of Ninty did they showcase LEGO  and why in the case MS ever show SmartGlass. That boils down to one final question, why even an E3 showcase? If you were still to take down my whole matter as a subjective approach as Dengle put it, then I would suggest you carry on with it.

All I care for is that WiiU will get all the 3rd party games that next-gen PS720 will get. Do this for me Nintendo, pleeaaase! I don't care if they're not graphical beasts, I don't care if PS720 looks better (as long as it doesn't look waaay better), all I care about is quality 3rd party titles! I know Nintendo will deliver awesome 1st party (they are after all king of 1st party content)


And I really do  bother about that as well. I honestly don't want it to be repeating a Wii. Durango and Orbis are watching.

It is interesting but I find the term 'Next-Gen' subjective. Wii U's own existence by the very definition of generation is what makes it next generation.

Yeah, hoping we actually get the real definition of next generation, once Wii U launches.

It seems to be barely an upgrade over PS3 and 360, but it is still a new generation.

humbly requesting for posts which specify on what are the real 'next gen' elements Wii U has indeed to offer, rather than simply stating it's Next gen. Of course we all know it's next gen.

The games won't work on Nintendo's current-gen console. Thread answered.

What is a "next gen element" outside of games that don't work on a current-gen system?
