How can one person say it's twice as strong as the PS3/360 and another say it's weaker than them. Let's try to agree on it cause it does not us who have no idea what they mean. Thing is it looks better than last gen to me from the potential I've seen, just not that much better tbf


it's basically a 360 with more ram, it's a sorry excuse for a nextgen console, your paying for last gen tech and no real third party support to boot.

You're new here, but comments like that are not appreciated.

your just a nintendo fanboy, go fuckk yourself. the wiiu will be dead by next year selling for 99$.

Well then... mystery solved I guess. >_>

Let's get back to topic though, this is good info from Etho if true :) Props.

I have absolutely no doubts that this most likely true. I also came to this conclusion just recently. The WII U is weak mainly because it's just weak. :-p 

 

The fact that it sucks up less power than the ps360 at the same manufacturing node process tells you alot here.

 

The WII U is likely on par with current gen or maybe even weaker than current gen!

 

I hate to say this but ninjablade was right about the WII U being weak. He's right but for the wrong reasons in general. ^_^

It's the same as me having no doubt that all 8th gen consoles are weak, I'm just nice about it lol. Wii U does have more capabilities than 7th gen consoles, it will only start to show once 8th gen fully kicks in unfortunately since they are still using ugly DX9 level graphics on it for the most part.

How unfair! The nintendo fanboy mod banned the *new* user.

Yeah, I know, a bad joke. But I cannot resist. *shurgs*



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

What do you mean by "capabilities". Do you mean that in terms of power or do you mean it in terms of modern features ? I'd agree with the latter but not so much about the former.

is that good or bad?


Terrible.  I don't even think that beats an HD 6450, a $40 card on newegg:

It is really not any more than 20% stronger than a PS3 + more RAM.

Gee I caused a bit of a stir

Well, they better start showing then. Also, how are you man? Had a good BGS? Thinking about a next gen console this year? I decided to wait =D

I loved the BGS but I think next year I will go on a monday or tuesday... so much people and queues.

I wrote all my impressions here: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=171096

A little biased but I did a fair resume after all

GPU capabilities, more modern hardware and more efficient, you have to remember that most game on Wii U was ported over in a year or less and it was able to run at that level despite the supposed "lowered specs." There is no magic button that just make the games run. A lot of games were also running on only 1 CPU core during the early months, which was pretty ridiculous  considering that multiplat games didn't really run that much worse lol. The evidence is already there to support what I'm proposing, it's really if people can be open minded about it or not. Well, or if they actually know 2 shits about the topic at hand.

Will it be able to performa at X1 or PS4 levels? I said hell no from the very start, worse hardware than the 360 or PS3? Absolutely not the case.
