Damage control

Drunk moderateor, away!

This sounds like the Gospel, and the most sense I've heard on the matter. 

As I commented elsewhere, CPU speed almost means nothing, because the PS3 had a faster CPU than the 360, but because of the 360's overall better architecture, it performed just as well and in some cases (Skyrim) outperformed the PS3. Taking that into account, maybe the Wii U also has a superior architecture, albeit slower CPU, than the PS3. I am sure when we get a decent 3rd party (not THQ) to max out the Wii U, that game would not run properly on the PS3 or 360!

isn't this a little ironic as they were praising the Wii U when showing off Darksiders II

Definitely damage control, I don't think it really matters though.

Anyway, isn't it true that the GPU on the Wii U is much higher than on the other systems? Its main problem seems to be lack of CPU power, but we can't really be sure of that until we have some tech guy who understand the architecture. The same thing happened for the PS3 where it was panned for low CPU, and well look where that turned out once people figured it out.

Either way, most of the power of the Wii U goes into it's ability to signal two images to the TV and controller, so that in it of itself is an accomplishment and takes a large amount of power in the first place. It has low latency with the controller, which is good.

What? We aren't allowed to disagree to agree now?

Makes sense to me. I don't see Nintendo purposely going out making the Wii U less powerful OVERALL that the PS360.

If those rumours/speculations turn out to be true, not that much stonger - actually, in pixel and texel throughouput it is only slightly (if any) stonger, but in GFLOPS performance it should pull somewhere around 2x as 360 or slightly more (not sure for PS3, I'd say around 1.5x when Cell is put in equation). So all that extra GFLOPS can be used for stuff that is running on CPUs in PS360 (like physics), plus you can offload audio from CPU to dedicated DSP in WiiU. Multiplat developers will just need to adapt to new way of thinking, but it is trully shame that Ninty hasn't gone few extra miles (and few extra $) and made console that is clearly stronger from the get go.

Check shokio's OP out folks ... 

He has some good points in regard of the GPGPU inside the wii u ..

I think that the ii u is much more powerful than we all think it is .. Devs need to use the GPGPU and the eDRAM...

Here's the vid:

did you read the article posted at all? they asnwer those questons for you. They can't do it as they have a small team (80 people) and chose the ps3 as their new console to release on and trying to release on another new console (wii u) would be too hard to right with the poeple they have and all versions would suffer. seems reasonable to me.

I  knew it all along just that people still overlook it. I dont bother with much of the idiots on this site I just let them wonder around clueless. lol
* Excellent video though. It's common sense and a repeated cycle. Two thumbs up.
