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 20% more powerful than the GCN, (which was clearly 30% more powerful than the PS2) and the details shown so far would be around N64 to DC at minimum.


Fixed.

Correct.

The Wii's CPU and GPU are essentially the GCN's but clocked 20% faster.

It also has more than twice as much RAM, and faster RAM as well

thank you.

You're welcome.

I just have a few things to say since certain people are speculating the next xbox or playstation being a lot more powerful in this thread, and they could be right, but at what cost? Wii U is at this price because the tablet controller in itself isn't cheap, will the next xbox or ps do the same thing? will they have the tablet contoller including the new kinect or the ps move? how much will they be when combined together? If the next versions of consoles from MS or Sony would have touch control, kinect or move included, and being much more powerful, how much will they cost? It's now a game of gimmicks and price, if they want to keep price at a good point, they can't have all those things and have a device that's much more powerful at a good cost in one package. PS Vita is not the answer, nor is MS Smartglass, those are not the right answers, and we all know why.

That news was even echoed by Iwata himself.  Facts, get to know them.

"20% more power efficient than the Gekko chip in the Gamecube and that it performs "significantly better"."

You were saying?

Will this shut up all of Sony's and MS's fanboys saying the Wii U is the same as the PS3 and 360? 

Only in a dream world...


"Basically that does require... well, not huge amounts more graphics processing power, but still considerable. If we would publish that on the other consoles, then I believe that there would be some small downscaling of what it is right now."

 

when the developer states trine 2 isn't doing much more than what ps360 are capable of ... well, that's not the exactly helping your case.  but hey!  i hear puddle is 1080p...

We do know the Wii U is more powerful than current gen consoles, as to the next xbox and PS4 is yet to be seen,

 


I think it's pretty much given that PS4 and X720 are gonna blow U out of the water

There hasn't been any indications (outside of rumors) that the next xbox and the PS4 will blow the Wii U out of the water.

The only "indication" it's that both companies made a more powerful console this gen...and that pretty much it really.

For me, Wii U should kick PS360's arses, not just edge them a bit. It's been 6 years, dammit.



errorpwns on 22 October 2012

You people are missing one fact. He never said how much of the Wii-U resources Trine 2 was taking, just that to bring Trine 2 to PS3 and 360 they would have to make changes. The fact Assassins Creed 3 runs on the Wii-U at 1080p should be more than enough proof of its sizable power over the 360/PS3. The difference between running a game at 720p and running a game at 1080p is considerable.



curl-6 on 22 October 2012

It shouldn't be hard for a Wii U game to exceed the PS3/360; all it has to do is require more than 512MB of RAM and it's already beyond them. Since the Wii U has 1GB of RAM for games, that should be easy.

lol...eat crow theshape (also known as the boy who can't get over bayonetta 2 being Wii U exclusive)

besides everyone knows that officially is 19x more powerful than the PS360!!! http://gimmegimmegames.com/2012/10/nintendo-representative-says-wii-u-is-19-times-as-powerful-as-the-ps3/ 

 

in all seriousness the Wii U should be at the very least 3-4x more powerful seeing the amount of RAM (4x), rumored AMD 6760 GPU, and power based cpu with Watson architecture all point to a generation leap in contrast to the last gen HD system.
