There is one thing we can all agree on...if this is real someone probably got fired

Yes, the VMU doesn't have the same capabilities (not eve close). My point is that it was the first attempt to bring a second screen with complementar content for a game. RE 3 used it to show the health status. It's just a similar concept.

But Vita is meant to be a handheld. Using it as screen for PS3 it's just a secondary function. It's like criticizing Wii U'c controller because it won't work if the console isn't close.

that it doesn't actually do with stock firmware, while it was advertised as being able to do it, cross play has not been talked about other than by owners of hacked ps3s and hacked vitas who're lovin it :D but that's besides my point, I'm just saying that it is another part of what is making up the 300euros price tag that is hanging off the wii.

One, 'good' is subjective. But I won't get into this.

If you don't mind, I still go with "new > old" except when it's obviously not so; Atari Flashback is newer than XBox360 but definitely not better.

This is a pleasant surprise, DX11 functionality will serve the WiiU very well and make 3rd parties efforts simpler! This is very good news indeed!

Guess I was wrong about you, you do actually post good things about Ninty.

It's not news. At best a rumour but more likely complete fabrication. Why anyone would believe that a tech support guy would have any clue as to what's inside the WiiU is beyond me.

Its a very viable rumor in my opinion, it would be the best solution for compatability with both existing and future console hardware for multiplatform development and would be cost efficent for Nintendo even at launch.

that's a country?

Benchmarks remove subjection quite well. 

So new is better then old other then when it isn't....Well what about the GTX 295 of GTX460? Years between the two...
To determine if a card is better than another one, you have to compare them directly when we are talking about enthusiast/gaming cards.
