I think the first ports are going to be hit or miss in terms of gauging Wii U horsepower compared to the PS360. The combination of having these games rushed out the door for Wii launch AND having little time/effort/resources to optimize them specifically for Wii U other than tacked on Gamepad functionality (for some) leave a lot to be desired. Over time, I expect this to get much better.  Even if the rumors of a slower RAM and CPU are true, devs will find a way around it and the extra RAM has to account for something.  The PS360 both had initial technical issues as well.  Plus, like I've been saying, what happens when PS4 and Durango aren't as powerful as people are thinking?  Will be interesting to see!

By the time MoHun:U comes out, no one will care about this debate anymore and only the Sony fans will left to do their complaining/trolling while everyone is playing games.


Sony fans will be too busy playing the enormous list of games and awesome exclusives they got for next year so we shouldnt worry much about them. its people like you with posts like these we should worry about complaining and trolling 

So you're calling me a troll since I'm apparently... trolling? SHould I report this? ^^

I don't think his post was aimed at you. It was aimed at Kenology because he felt the need to go out of his way and off-topic to take an unneccesarry jab at SONY fans for no reason at all.

 exactly this

?????????

?!

You know that youtube always plays the videos at 360p unless you change the resolution?

Two of those videos are in 720p and the other one at 1080p.

They are "in 720p" but they do not display like 720p in these comparison videos. With my screen maximized, I still can't tell to hell how good these textures are.

Sorry but PS3 version looks much better on that pic. The WiiU version may have more details but overal it looks blurry, look on the building on the right side.

Anyway, I don't care, this game was one of my GOTYs last year.

So we can agree that Wii U isn't WEAKER than PS3? Since it has more details, but also looks a bit blurred?

Yeah, I'm really looking forward playning this game!! I'm currently playing through Asylum ^^

From the things Ive heard:

the cpu: ps3

gpu: wiiu

ram: tie, while wiiu has more ram it is slower than ps3 ram

Please don't single out a group and say that they are going to troll before it even happens.  I am going to let you off with a warning this time since it has been nearly a year since you have had any blemishes on your record.

i don't think any of the haters, like myself, are arguing the wiiU is weaker than the ps360. i'm arguing that it isn't significantly better than the ps360 which is A) really old tech and B) already in my house.

generally when i "upgrade" i have this crazy expectation that the new device is actually ..better.

what you are showing is technical differences smaller than between several 360/ps3 multiplats. come back when you have anything at all that actually looks like a generational leap in technology.


"Remember: while being on par with PS360 Wii U is ALSO streaming to the GamePad. That's something neither of PS3 or Xbox360 would have been able to do. Nuff said."

Remember: i have 1 set of eyes and won't be looking at the gamepad nor does the gamepad do anything to enhance the gameplay. the gamepad is completely worthless in the games you posted. i don't give bonus points to pointless features. Nuff said.

Hey, awesome launch games...

It seems to be a vicious cycle actually; PS360 fans bashing Wii for it's limitations, generating in Nintendo fans frustration. This in turn takes it form in Vita bashing, and Sony fans retaliate...

The difference is that the Wii U is more vital to nintendo than the vita is to Sony.  After 3 quarters, I have yet to see any material impact of bad vita sales on Sony numbers for their gaming division, Nintendo on the other hand cannot have a repeat of the 3DS launch with the Wii U.

Well, no. Vita might not have a major impact on the finances of Sony as a whole. But they're in much more trouble that the Vita failing. Even if Wii U only sells 20 million copies, Nintendo will make a profit (well, not straight away as we all know) and survive. If PS4 sells 20m copies, will Sony survive like Nintendo will? ANd considering what Sony must have spent on R&D for the Vita I'm quite sure they're eager to make that back...

Yes, but what you haven't heard is how they all work together. So the jury is still out on that one. And by what you have seen you must agree that Wii U isn't weaker than PS3, right?

The COD comparison is a load of bollocks, what is it compared against? "PC/PS3/360"? Who captured the comparison? a child with a VCR camera? awful quality.

The AC one looks better on the 360.

Darksiders comes over as technically worse in some aspects and better in others on the WiiU.

I'm confused?

I know the AC3 guys said they were time constraint to get the game to launch and admitted some stuff was missing. BUt hey at least they were honest.

Well ZombiU disappointed me, it doesn't look better than Condemned 1 for instance, but Nintendoland looks good, its shiny. But give it a year, I wanna see the 2nd gen games ^_^

Again your second sentence doesnt make sense.  The impact of the R&D would have shown up in the numbers like it did for sony in 2006 with its disterous PS3 launch, they lost close to $3 Billion (just in the gaming division) in the two year after it was released due to price cuts and saging sales.  I dont see a -$2 billion print since the Vita was launched (and it has saging sales BUT no price cut, thats the difference). And we are not talking about the PS4, just the Vita and Wii U, try to confine it to those two things.  Nintendo mentioned they are selling the console at a loss but 1 software sale will make the transaction profitable, while I take Reggies comments at face value, some clearer numbers would be better.
