If true, the likely analogy would be: Orbis:Xbox, Durango:PS2, Wii U:Dreamcast

wii u is N64, from what i read, we don't even know if its more powerful then 360/ps3.




lets be realistic, i have 3-4 quotes from  saying wii u is on par with current gen from developers, while xbox 720 looks to be 6-7x and and ps4 9-10x.

On par does not mean "not better than."

Don't spread FUD. We have the number on your agenda.

lol i only owned a 360 this gen, but if this is true, i'm going with the best hardware money can buy. 

If that's true then why not just buy one of these?

Seems like a more logical step. 



Yay!!!

To be perfectly honest, I don't really care which is more powerful.

Multi-platform games are going to be made for the lowest common denominator, anyway. Sure, one might have a few first-party exclusives "that you can't play on the other consoles" but who really cares? Naughty Dog games are going to look great regardless. 343i games are going to look great regardless. And PC, of course, will trump them both.

Maybe it's just me, because there are many other elements about games that interest me far more than "graphix", but I don't think it will make much real-world difference.

Moreover, "my console is more powerful than your console" fights have always seemed hellaciously childish.


what you talking about dude ps3 and 360 are equal in power yet some MP games are so bad on ps3, they can be considerd almost exclusive, hell yes specs matter.

No.....Just no.

We have confirmation from Ubisoft and multiple developers the two consoles are almost exactly the same in power with both having slight advantages in different areas


its just hard to believe really, they can be close but one has to be more powerful, it seems ubi just doesnt wanna choose sides.

OMG the PS4 is going to be 0.0000005x more powerful than the 720, nobody is going to buy the 720 now!

yea i read that already but he also stated that eurogamer was very close to the actual specs, baring some minor details.


well sure but that just means we don't have the full picture yet, on either console ;)

i'm not spreading fud at all, all the inside sources at neogaf claim wii u will be in the same situation as last gen with the wii, having last gen hardware, claiming the wii u is a deamcast is really spreading fud cause from the specs releases wii u doesnt even have 1 advantage over ps4 and 720, while dreamcast did have a couple against ps2.

Are you basing this off Kr4T0s post over at Reddit? Well look at his name, he might be a bit biased. But I think he does make a very good point and he is probably right. Just don't expect to see a huge difference. 10% power difference max between PS4/720 is what you should expect. We'll probably see Sony's 1st party games really taking advantage of that extra power again like they did this gen.

anyway multiplats on next-gen should be very easy to port. Both consoles are supposedly using the same CPU so I expect games to be optimized much better than they were this gen.

I think you'll be surprised at how much has already leaked. We know more about PS4/720s specs than we do about the Wii U.....

That wasn't because of a difference in power, that was because of a difference in architecture.  Even then, most of the worst examples, such as Bayonetta, were because of developer incompetence.
