Forums - Gaming - What if the Wii U was a 7th gen console?

the wii u woulndt have directx11 equivalent features, the gamepad would still be not that attractive as the motion controls, the price of the console would be to high if we were to expect a console as powerful as the current wii u, should about 400 to 500 gigaflops, and with gamepad feature, there would be no ddr3 ram but ddr2 since ddr3 wasnt even available back then, the edram would be to costly to produce since we are talking about 32NB not 10MB, the console would consume a lot of power since back then the best option was 90nm not 45nm or 28nm like todays

In few words, it would have failed



Around the Network

If it replaced the Wii, it definitely wouldn't do as well...

As we saw with the Wii, people didn't care about the graphics as much as the motion remote. The Casual Market really liked the motion controls and saw Wii Sports (good way to stay fit!).

It would probably continue where the GC left off.
