No they can't it's about architecture. A systems is ONLY as fast as it's slowest component. There is a reason the Metro devs said the wii-u CPU was too slow for their game.

The PS3 Cell is WAY more powerfull, wii-u has a memory advantage., Congrast at being maybe slightly more powerfull then a 7 year old console...I guess.

I don't recall any news sayng wii u's cpu is worse than last gen. it merely is not the same jump as the gpu, and we all know nintendo chose a gpgpu because it can handle cpu stuff. basically, it's how the console works as a whole that matters.

Dude the information is everywhere I mean come on.  Hell I'll oblige you a little.  Here is the difference between the GPU's:

-Cores: 320 vs 1152

-Speed: 550MHz vs 800 Mhz

-Bandwidth: 12.8 GB/s vs 176 GB/s

-Manufacturing process: 40nm vs 28nm

(Smaller is better, generally AMD's 28nm architecture in the PS4 is 1.6x faster than the same card manufactured in the 40nm architecture)

The PS4 has 3.6x as many cores running 1.5x faster on a architecture that is 1.6 times faster clock-for-clock.   3.6 x 1.5 x 1.6 = 8.6.  Then throw in the fact that the PS4 has 14x the memory bandwidth and can send multiple instructions per cycle and it should be obvious how much the PS4 steamrolls the Wii U.  

Then simple google "Wii U cpu slow."  On the first page I saw 4A games saying it is "Horribly slow," and Halling from DICE saying that most of his collegues agree that the Wii U has a slow cpu that will "Shorten its life."

facepalm.

anyway, why don't you mention the memory latency and the edram for wii u? and other stuff like the unkown gpu specs?

by the way, something with a processor twice as fast and a gpu twice as strong = something twice more powerfull, not 4x.

and where do they say it's inferior to ps360's cpu? and even if true, wii u is gpu focused so it's only obvious the cpu wouldn't be in the same level of the gpu.

-A PC with a 7850 and an i5 is half as strong as a PC with an i5 and a 7970 because the 7970 is twice as strong.  CPU's are so much weaker than the GPU's they instruct; that these days the GPU is 90% what matters as long as the CPU isn't so weak it holds it back.  The fact is the Wii U's CPU is so weak it even holds back the Wii U's $40 graphics card.

-Your right there are unknown gpu specs for both consoles.  Thus we must estimate performance based on what we know, and based on what we know the PS4 is that much stronger.  You can  prettend Nintendo put invisible fairies in  the Wii U to boost performance, but until you prove it: me and Earth are gonna go on what we know.

It is clear you want to live in your own little world of made up facts and that is fine, but just leave us Earthlings alone... ok?

biased, lies, biased based on lies. you need more solid things.

For you, sure, it can be. It's your opinion after all

But if you said that in a forum without anything to back up your opinion then you are in the wrong

These people (most at least) are trying to back up their opinion, the only one that rejects any negative thing on their precious Nintendo is Zero999 with responses such as "lie","wrong", "facepalm".

I wonder why that is...
