Sometimes I question the intelligence of those that are still in denial that the Wii U is considerably more powerful than the PS360.  I mean c'mon it doesn't take a mensa member to know that the Wii U is at THE VERY LEAST 3x more powerful than the last gen HD twins.  I do concede that the X720 will probably be at minimum have a 50-60% boost over the Wii U; which is comparable to PS2 vs the original Xbox 1.

all i'm asking for is proof.  nintendo won't release stats.  games like AC or batman or ME aren't getting visual upgrades to their ps360 counterparts and frankly those are old games niow that aren't even as advanced looking as the most recent ps360 releases.  nintendo isn't putting 1080 into NSMB wiiU or the rest of the their launch line up.  the only games that seemingly are getting upgrades to their ps360 counter parts or the downloadable non-system-taxing games like trine and puddle and toki tori.  that's cool and all but hardly impressive...trine 2 isn't as impressive as an uncharted or a gears so yeah..

i'm not saying that wiiU isn't more powerful than the ps360.  i'm just saying where's the game that proves it?  zombieU is exclusive and isn't any more advanced looking than recent ps360 games.  why not?  is it a lack of effort or is it a lack of power?  neither you nor i and can say with actual certainty why not.  ..so don't pretend you can.  you can't.  you and i both have rumors and gut-feelings to go on.

also, you can't conceed hat x720 will be 50% boost over wiiU either.  we know even less about that than wiiU.

Actually I'm basing it on this article. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/01/24/xbox-720-will-be-six-times-as-powerful-as-current-gen  I however am giving the Wii U only 3.5x-4x more powerful than the PS360 instead of the 5x the article is implying.  IGN after all is what we are basing the specs for the 3DS; so why not the WIi U and 720.

i clicked the link but got a "page not found" error.  I'd be interested to read if you can check your link out.

err.. nm.  i found the error in your link.

 

first sentence: "..sources close to the project have told IGN"  aka rumor.  and history tells us at least 50% of rumors are wrong.

hmm...wonder why? http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/01/24/xbox-720-will-be-six-times-as-powerful-as-current-gen

 

works fine now.

Its going to take a lot more than a side scroller to raise these eye brows of mine.



oni-link on 22 October 2012

but my what an awesome looking side scroller it is. (enough to show that the PS360 is not able to keep up with the Wii U in terms of performance according to the article which is really no surprise)

I hope that third parties really enjoy working with Nintendo this gen. No business problems or technical problems. Lets just have a smooth ride this time around. No more drama like we had with the Wii. Which had Technical power problems, and business problems with the games not selling up to par.


Well if sony and microsoft decide to launch consoles a generation ahead of the ps3/360 then it's more than likely going to really affect nintendo.. considering WII u's increase in power is probably equivalant to the jump Wii made from ps2.. when comparing the jump between Wii u and ps3..

Clearly, the Wii U is a lot more powerful than that comparison.  The Wii is only about 50% more powerful than the GCN, (which was clearly 50% more powerful than the PS2) and the details shown so far would be around N64 to DC at minimum.

Another news showing the same thing... Wii U is not that powerful when compared with PS360... of course it is more powerful, nobody deny that but it's seem like what I said before 1.5x better than PS360... can reach 1.8x or a little more with optimizations? Of course... but the gap is low.

Anyway Trine 2 is boring... I loved Trine but the second game is meh... it lacks something that made the first Trine good.

What details shown so far? An open world game that really pushes hardware this gen like Assassins Creed III doesn't run any better on Wii u than on ps3/360, if the WII u were SOO much more powerful than the ps3/360 don't you think there'd be at least a slight noticeable difference between the Wii u game and the ps3/360 game? Nothing, absolutely nothing has been shown by nintendo, or any 3rd party studio that even suggests a jump equivalent to PS2-Wii yet.. and you're already jumping at a jump almost on par to an entire console generation..

Hummmm... GC is not 50% more powerful than PS2... at maximum 30% and and I'm still being nice because the games showed less... DC is better or on pair with PS2... little difference to tell... N64 is not in the same level (PS2/DC)... Xbox is between PS2/DC and GC.
