Why is it that the Wii U can handle a solid 60fps but the PS4 and Xbox One can't?

Because Ps4 and Xbox one don't hide behind cellshading everytime to make things look prettier.

Cell shading makes low resolution textures look better.You don't even need high poly models you just need to say "this isn't low poly,it's our art design".

Take MK8 for example,it's a gorgeous game,but if pay attention you will see low res ground textures here and there; you will see "Blocky" models here and there.But nobody cares cause cell shading make it look pretty.

tl;dr If a ultra realistic game has low resolution textures or low poly models,people would notice.If a nintendo game have,nobody care cause cell shading.

The new lighting in WW HD even ruined the cel shading effect (it doesn't look flat anymore), but I like the new look more.

This question isn't that serious, yet many people are in treating it as if it was. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Nothing to say here, it's a gorgeous looking game. Hopefully next 3D Mario games use the same engine, because it's just so glorious.

Yep wiiU so strong and powerfull, fuck that ps4 and xbox one with their 30 fps games, a game like infamous with that big city full of detail ? meh ... BUT CAPTAIN TOAD? that is a big fucking achivement !!! look at that world ? look at those texture full of detail and that amazing world ? look at the gaming world , how can nintendo do a world like that with that lightning , those effects. sony or microsoft will never achive such thing. Now lets look at watch dogs wiiU , 30 fps top ? ubisoft you lazy bastards , if that game would be made by nintendo it would be 1080 P 60 fps for sure.

I

No it would not, Nintendo just know how to make quality games, they could not creat that Watch Dogs freak.

What point?  Nintendo did non-cartoonish games 10 year ago for gamecube that looked better than Ps2's,thus,WiiU can make non-cellshading games that look better than PS4's...is that is your point? cause that don't make any sense!

My point is when Nintendo makes a realistic looking game it looks great (for the console its on) and has 60fps! 

I gave you 4 examples: Metroid Prime 1, 2 & 3 and F-Zero GX. Do you want more? Ok, Eternal Darkness, another realistic looking game with 60fps! 

All of the Metroid's are pretty debatable and Eternal Darkness wasn't developed by Nintendo. There's plenty of good looking Nintendo titles, you don't need to strecth.

You guys have both gotten plenty of silly posts in here, so you can both drop it.

Why can't I have 720p and no AA on my PS4? It would look sooooo AMAZING!

Just imagine the possibilities. We could have a Call of Duty that looks like Toy Story in 720p running at 60FPS!

Huh? Plenty of games run at 60FPS on both

Nah, not really. A lot more on the PS though. 

For some games I rather have prettier graphics and 30 fps though. Like Zelda. But 30fps in a racing game? I'm not touching garbage like that with a ten foot pole. Mario Kart 8 with 3 or four players locally isn't any fun to me because of that. I usually play it online together with a friend (locally). 

That's what made MK: DD so great... 60fps even with four players. 

Huh? http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/PS4_vs._Xbox_One_Native_Resolutions_and_Framerates

I didn't count but that looks like at least half the major games run at 60FPS. Then you add all the indies which mostly run at 60FPS and you've got a stew going.

That's quite shining praise.

Now I wonder why the Wii U doesn't sell amazingly if there's such a "stellar line-up"... hmm...

LOL. Exactly! I'm surprised I've sparked so much debate over that!
