It might be able to but considering they don't know all about the CPU yet, they probably don't know how to get much out of the GPGPU functionality yet either.

Lazy dev being lazy. While what Suzuki says should be true, he should also point back to the different architecture of WiiU, and how GPGPU takes away some of the functions that are normally done on CPU. So obviously, a straight port from current gen games will have issues. Now the next gen (PSVaio, X8ox) will be a bigger gap than Wii U to PS360, but the architecture will be similar as far as GPGPU design, making future ports easier. Now if Wii U takes off, it might even be the "PS2" of this gen meaning the other 2 consoles would receive simple "up ports" of U games.

Can anyone confirm if wii u will use Apple's opencl. If it is then the power of the main CPU becomes less important.

Can't believe no one else responded to the picture u posted. I actually lol'd. Especially bc I had noticed the misspelling and was wondering if someone was gonna comment on it. Totally wasn't expecting a post like urs though ha.

I was thinking this exact same thing, but I really didn't think such a picture existed.  Apparently I was wrong.

It's not nintendo's whole strategy but it is indeed part of it.

It would if this wasn't a mediocre developer we're talking about.

"So for games in the Warriors series, including Dynasty Warriors and Warriors Orochi, when you have a lot of enemies coming at you at once, the performance tends to be affected because of the CPU."

From this quote I was thinking they might reduce the number of enimies this time around to increase performance. But that's just how I understood it.

Of all the discussions in here, the only thing that got me smirking was the "deer God" comment and following ones that addresssed it, mainly the pics! lol
