Some people still believe these patents are for a Wii U lite, the more patents getting published the more that idea is going down the drain.

Sounds interesting, but hopefully, the console will be powerful enough to get back some of the 3rd party devs..


I've said this before and I'll say it again, power is not the reason 3rd parties left the Wii U.


Is not the only problem but yes lack of power is the main reason as to why the wii u lacks third party games

Indeed, without suffcient power, there are no multi-plat games.

"...real-time changes to environment based on certain conditions".

Now, this sounds really interesting!

So they are finally going to join modern gaming. About damn time.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

This is so vague. Isn't this already done by current consoles?

Mmm, interesting...



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Maybe these latest console patents are a result of recently hiring western software engineers.
