Forums - Gaming - Video compares Wii U and PS3 load times

OdinHades on 01 April 2013

Just look at Vita if you want to see a really fast OS. No waiting times AT ALL. Wii U will never get there.

The PS3 is 0.5 seconds faster. Wii U is doomed confirmed!


Wii U is 6th generation confirmed! Three overclocked Gamecubes duct-taped together!

Slow slow slow... we need better and faster UIs.

That's what she said.

The Vita has spoiled me in these regards. UI is super fast.

So much better than it was before. Thank god.

 

It was so bad, I don't give a damn if its still a little slower than the PS3. It clearly wasn't even in the same realm as other consoles in load times, so why even bother comparing them back then?

 

Now the Wii U is at least close enough to PS3 load times to be worth comparing. So that's a good first step.

Yeap... a good first step... the problem is even a psfan like me thinks the PS3 menus so slow.

We need way fast menus for all consoles.

Three GCs ductaped and overclocked sounds like a beastly console if you ask me. Just think one not-overclocked GC ran the RE 3.5 demo, which is the most technically impressive piece of game of the gen.

Yes, the time of just plug-and-playing is over. The newer the tech, the longer it takes before I can actually play a game.
At least WiiU is somewhat acceptable now, it was terribly slow.

If I recall correctly, Wii U has 1 GB of RAM designated exclusively to the OS? Finishing just a bit behind a 7-yo console with 512 MB RAM total is really a feat. They should be targeting Vita speed, not competing with irritatingly slow XMB.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Still a bit slower than PS3; embarrassing, but a drastic improvement over what it was.


Embarassing how? When you think about how simple the XMB is compared to the WiiU menu and that Sony had 7 years to make it as it is today then I dont see how its embarassing at all. 

I mean its the first "performance update" for WiiU   so I am happy to see what they were able to do.

The performance Nintendo started with was embarassing this update is not.

is this one of your infamous 1st april jokes?

according to moore's law Wii U  should be around 10-20x more powerful(and they had all the time in the world to analyze,optimize and copy the ps360 )It's just like comparing 360 to n64.

I'm pretty sure you are the first to attack  people as soon As they dare to say that Wii U is not next gen,but you have no problems to do so( compare Wii U with current gen )as long as it useful for argumentation.
