let's see how long that lasts. if last gen games need more than 1M sales to break even do you think they'll make it on Ps4 and Xone small installed bases?

about your last statement: haters gonna hate. good luck trying to get Curé Syndrome.


I'm not hating the Wii U, I have one lol. And it is pretty much a given that it is similar in power to the PS360.

The PS4 and XB1 are so similar they will only have to reach the Wii U installed base combined to get better third party support, due to the ease of porting between the two.

it's easy porting between the three and it will be done.


Then why are there no next-gen only multiplats coming to the Wii U?

will = future. and what exact confirmation do you have o prove no next gen multis are coming? most of those games are to be released on 2014 and an announcement can be made at any moment. watch dogs for example got confirmed to wii u 8 months after being revealed.

And yet there haven't been any announced. So far there is no evidence to suggest it is easy to port from PS4 & XB1 to Wii U, but there is plenty for PS360 to Wii U. I can't prove that no next-gen only multiplats are coming, but all the evidence so far points that way. Do you have any evidence to back up what you are saying?

simple, it's proven that there isn't a big gap between wii u and Ps4/Xone so devs not porting those games right now is due to stupid comercial planning. but starting this year holiday they'll see their mistake.

I'm not a hater just a realist. Third parties are never going to come around, and yes, the XB1/PS4 are quite a good deal more powerful. It may take them about a year to get games out that really illustrate it, but it's inevitable. A 1.8 TFLOP GPU is inevitable going to pull away from a 300-400 GFLOP one, especially when it has access to like 7x the effective RAM.

i won't say that cause the year is only half way done and yeah might do it for the holidays

I agree with the bolded part. what a good thing that wii u's gpu has quite more than 400 GFLOPS and wii u's competitors don't have access to 7x the wii u's RAM, isn't it?

If you're living in fantasy land sure. The PS4 OS memory footprint is 1GB according to many sources, which means there's 7GB left over for developers to use for games. The Wii U GPU is not "quite more than 400 GFLOPS".

sony fanboys =/= many sources. sony didn't say it so it's unconfirmed. i can see ps4 starting with 6gb available and getting close to 7 in the long run. wii u will have 1.5 gb of RAM, if it doesn't already and there's the 32 mb of Edram wich you conviniently never mention. also, if devs did nothing but praise wii u's memory, i don't see how the whine of somoene who won't even buy it matters.

I don't know how many GFLOPS wii u's gpu have, but neither do you. what I know is that wii u is generating the likes of X  wich is unthinkable for last gen consoles in the 240 GFLOP range. it's only fair to say it's quite higher than 400 for sure.
