Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, legendary game developer Shigeru Miyamoto, and R&D General Manager Genyo Takeda, have discussed both the Wii U GPU and the CPU during the company’s latest Q4 2012 report. During the report Miyamoto admitted that they initially found it difficult to adjust to high-definition visuals, and that they had to reeducate the team members. Here’s what they had to say about the technical specifications of the Wii U, namely the CPU and GPU.
Q. Isnt the WiiU architecture too much focused on the GPU?
Miyamoto : For High End graphics there is a hurdle, since we have to reeducate our people. The development itself hasn’t changed but we are recruiting specialists that can become core members in each specialized area. External Developers are used to shader techniques and we are collaborating a lot with external companies nowadays so we have a very good development structure.
Iwata: Every gaming hardware has its specialities. There is a timing of hit and miss before the functions can be used fully. We were not able to provide development kits that get out all the power of wiiu until mid of last year. With other gaming consoles firms had 6 to 7 years to experiment but our console has a different balance so it is easy to see who has adapted and who hasn’t. However this is something time will heal so we are not too worried.
Takeda : WiiU is a machine that has a lot of performance compared to its power consumption. The GPU is definately more pronounced than the CPU . There are people saying that the CPU is weak but that is not true. It is a trendl that the cash memory is whats getting biggrr with CPUs not the processing power. i do not think at the CPu is underpowered. It’s just a design where the memory is more stressed.
Well… Trolls did complain for better Graphics not a better CPU, so Nintendo trolled them and us back.
The CPU is at least on Par with 360. How else do you explain Assassins creed 3 on Wiiu ? It has a different architecture is all and right now Devs are struggling with it. When they max it out , it will probably deliver more performance. Wonderfull 101 is reportedly running at 60FPS on Wiiu and the latest version of the game is gorgeous.
it was actually a bit slower. but that really won’t effect games made for Wii U architecture
I Know it’s slower :/ . But Clock speed is becoming less and less relivent by the year. 2.7GHZ i7 or 3.5GHZ pentium 4 ?
It’s all about Pipeline efficiency and cash memory , etc. Bottom line is The Wiiu’s CPU uses half or less the power the 360 CPU does and can produce the Same or possibly significantly better results.
plus it has A GPU based architecture with a pretty powerful GPGPU
no idea why the article calls it “cash” but it’s spelled “cache”^^
it’s very hard to reliably measure or even roughly compare CPU performance unless you can run a benchmark on both platforms.. seeing as there are no multiplat benchmark tools for consoles i guess we’ll never know just how capable the wii Us CPU is or isn’t
Maybe some 1 will make a respectable wepaaa browser based benchmark aplication.
Wep*
which would ultimately show you the performance of the browser not necessarily the performance of the CPU
more specifically: the performance of the browser on that particular CPU
Ok i though because pc have sitess that show your system specs consoles could have 1 too.
system specs? those wouldn’t be of much use.. we already know most of the system specs but they don’t allow us to determine how powerful the cpu is… besides in order to list system specs that site has to *know* the components that you’re using… for a PC that’s not a problem because specs of common PC hardware are readily available
I was going to spell it Cache like always , but spelt it Cash because of the article XD. That article is fucked up.
RETARD DO THE MATH, SEE HOW YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU MENTIONED THAT SHIT ABOUT CLOCK SPEED.
Kid just keep it low and clean.
Shut the fuck up.
Processor speed is a thing of the past.. Much like polygon count doesn’t mean much these days. Large Cache memory is the way to go. What does that do? It makes Out of Order Execution work. In Order execution will process things as they are needed. But out of order will process them even if they are not needed immediately and they will be stored in the cache. The larger the cache the better. So the architecture enables the cpu to multitask even more effectively than the tri core xbox 360.
Epere15, you do realize clock speed doesn’t have anything to do with speed. I had a 3ghz Athlon 64 that is slower than my new CPU that is clocked at 2ghz.
yes i do.
calm down buddy
Anyone not sign the petition for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on Wii U? You can find links on previous articles before this one!! Go sign!!! :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr_NUxU8SjY
When Sickr told to stop posting those links I do think he included refering to it like this..
No, he was talking about the same thing in all the post.
Yeah, but Sickr told him off. So he should prob just stop :S
i dont find it anoying if he chose the best post for it.
I have no interest in the game sorry but I wont sign. Not that it will do anything regardless.
I laughed so hard when you said N trolled us right back. Seriously, that made my day.
Well it is true… they made trolls eat their words. This GPGPU is pretty fast, a Radeon 6770 is no slouch, it will be almost as fast as the leaked specs in the PS4/720, which are only a slight step up (maybe 50% but most likely 20-30% faster, and when it comes to frames per second it will not be that noticeable)
Its a.6770? Thats great to know thanks
Ok, its still not a beast, but I’m sure it will get the games of third party devs deep in this generation.
*this coming generation
it is not a beast, but the ps4 and xbox8 are also not a beast dude. the specs what i have seen from them, is maybe 1 times more powerfull then te wii u!
Are.. are you joking? I really hope you are because that was the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
Do you understand math? If you times anything by one it is the same, for example 1×23=23. Oh and I changed my comment so Americans could understand, normally I would call it maths, like any civilised person would do.
I don’t think making an attack on a whole population of citizens is very civilised…
what i means is that it not will be that more powerfull. the wii u got at least 800 gflops but some rumors say it had 1000 gflops,the xbox8 1200 geflops,ps4 1800gflops. so that means the xbox8 got 400 or 200 gflops more,and de ps4 1000 or 800 more. with the 1 times more powerfull 1 mean 100 procent,but if this rumors are treu the xbxo is 40 procent stronger then the wii u,and the ps4 100 procent,and that’s not a bigleap. it will be like ps360, and nintendo is good in making games beatyfull so it will look almost the same…
Orbis and Durango sound like they’ll be about 2.5 Wii Us duct-taped together. Both of them (especially Durango) will focus a lot on multitasking, so they won’t be able to use all that power most of the time. Unreal Engine 4, CryEngine 3 and FrostBite 2 are all engines designed for eighth-gen that run on Wii U.
So there.
Unreal Engine 4 is still not confirmed for WIi U…… CryEngine 3 is confirmed.
Unreal Engine 4 has been confirmed to be capable of running on Wiiu. They said if a developer wants to use unreal engine 4 on Wiiu they can , it’s an extremely scalable engine. They also said Unreal engine 3 was a really nice fit for wiiu. This statement was made before the final Wiiu dev kits were out.
A Phone can run UE4. Epic said it can run it, but they won’t support it themselves. They actually recommended UE3.
They didn’t recommend it, they said it’s a good fit for the console. Unreal Engine 3 was scaled down for smart phones too. Does that mean that 360/PS3 were using the same level as Infinity Blade? No. Infinity Blade looks nice on your smart phone, but so what? Unless you are implying a smart phone will be able to run Unreal Engine 4 at the same capacity as Wii U, which would be laughable at best, the Wii U will be plenty capable of running Unreal Engine 4 at a level much higher than an iPhone. Remember, that statement was based on an outdated, unfinished developer kit that they had at the time. The final kits were released after the first batch of Wii U games were being made or ported.
“According to a rumor posted in an IGN board, Half-Life developer Gearbox Software is working on a new first-person shooter, which may be a new IP and is supposedly being developed for Wii U as well as for unannounced next-generation consoles. The rumored game is said to be in its first stages of development, and it is apparently being developed using Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4, which is a game engine that Nintendo’s Wii U is capable of running.” – A quote from another article on this site. Epic games themselves have said the Wii U is capable of running it, and said developers can port the engine to the Wii U if they wish.
Its stil a rumor….
Unreal 4 is designed to run on everything.
Hello
From teah
“Wii U got at least 800 gflops”
Wishful thinking? You’re lucky if that’s even 600…
IM LAUGHING SO HARD AAAAAAH GFLOPS
Effect u
Agreed. i highly doubt that either microsoft or sony will make a tremendously over powered system purely due to manufacturing costs. my prediction is that both companies will make sure that there is at least a noticable difference in terms of graphical quality in comparison to their previous generations systems, but focus more on control interfaces, such as a next generation kinect and playstation move. this next generation will be more about differences in gameplay rather than quality of visuals
A rumor i saw puts the PS4 at 3x the Wii U.
PS3 was rumored 3X the 360… but look what that got it… NOWHERE since they look the same
Cool, then the Wii U shouldn’t have any problems getting multiplats.
The only ways it won’t get multiplats is lazy developers, ones that clearly have something against Nintendo (EA) or if Durango and Orbis work on 4K TVs which is unlikely.
But is it enough to keep 3rd parties on board? Hmmm!!!
It may be. Look what we have been able to do this generation with extremely limited ram, Halo 4, UC3 gears of war 3. Its simply amazing. Devs may have to do a bit of optimization to get the games up and running on wii U, but I’m confident Nintendo will get 3rd prty titles, for at least half of wii U’s life.
Halo 4 is not impressive. Shooter with best graphics on any console, not best gameplay, is Killzone 3… Halo 4 just has the same graphics as Halo 3 with better textures… its a failure to see everyone gawk at such a simple game.
I have to stop and look both sides cause i think im in the middle of a troll crossing.
LOL! Made my day.
I stopped taking you seriously when you said the graphics were the same as Halo 3’s. When Halo 3 came out, it was already behind. Halo 4 is pushing the limits. I never said it has the best gmeplay. But compared to 90% of other FPS on he market, Halo is way better in that department, you know, because the game actuallly takes skill to play. And its actually fun too.
While i did not liked 4 more than reach we cant deny a pretty game when we see one after all im a fanboy.
Continuation: not stupid in denial.
FPS’s take skill?
/troll
You are so unbelievably stupid.
who cares
I do! Without third party support, this means people who only own a nintendo platform could potentially miss out on some great titles.
(Please not that I said ‘some’)
U have a good point, but the majority of Nintendo fans usually buy Nintendo Consoles almost soley for Nintendo Exclusives because they’re just that good. However, More 3rd party is definetly something I want from them, If nothing else it’ll stop the Haters from Bitching about it all the time. *Buy a Xbox360 if you want every 3rd party game, Buy a Nintendo System in general if U want the AAA Nintendo Exclusives & a few 3rd-party Exclusives. :P
In what sense?
Nintendo has alot of 3rd party support, Atlus, Ubisoft, Capcom, Gearbox, Namco Bandai, Activision (who doesnt though).
If you mean MUTLIPLATS, then only time will tell, but, if you’re buying a Nintendo system for multiplats, you gotta be insane, people buy Nintendo for exclusives.
I posted this on the gear box thing and i’m going to post it again so i can see a few people opinion
Can we have comments like “Can’t wait to find out more” etc? I’m sick of seeing people argue on this site- which leads to that stupid word ‘butthurt’ and then vulgar comments. What i really find quite amusing is that people insult each other by saying stuff like “Stupid 12 year olds” (etc) when most of you are adults.
Anyway….My opinion about the Wii u’s capabilities is: Why the heck would Nintendo produce expensive “next gen” games when their current competition (currently) isn’t? Maybe the reason Nintendo is secretive about the specs is due to them not wanting the competition to know what it’s capable of, then when their competition start raising the bar, they can too?
The wii u has only just come out (and i think earlier than it should have), remember the first XBOX games? Compare them to the new ones. Yeah, there’s a significant difference. The games will only get better, for example: Visuals, gameplay, mechanics, creativity, AI.
Though i could be completely wrong, which i’m open to. I respect that one of you said something about investing (if you can afford) in all consoles? If you can’t then stay away from the ones you don’t like. SERIOUSLY. Why do you come on this site and say stuff like “WII U GUNNA FAYUL OMG LOL” It’s fine for you to have an opinion but when you come on an ALL NINTENDO site…it just seems stupid.
Last thing, sorry for my rant. I know that this site will never have a happy comment section. But i do hope that we mature a little. Not age wise, because your age is irreverent.
The problem with the” remember early Xbox 360 games?” Argument is that the Xbox 360 was made of brand new tech that even PCs didn’t have at the time.(some might have, but those were the ultra powerful ones) so of course devs didn’t know how to use the xbox 360 to make games look good, it was a whole new generation of tech that no one knew how to use to its fullest. But the Wii U is notably older tech that has been developed for for years, of course startout wii U games will look worse then their future games. But there will not be a huge jump between beginning and end like in the 360.
Wrong dude wrong, the wii u is not the same as the ps360,they most program other way for the wii u. did you read dude?????
Actually Joseph could be right about that….. Xbox 360 was really powerful in beginning, X1800 in 2006 + 32 MB eDRAM for AA etc. Xbox 360 GPU really was a BEAST, the GPU was cutting edge.
Im not sure what the hell Wii U is capable of but i think these 1GB + 1GB refers to 1GB RAM (system, OS, miiverse etc) and another 1GB is actually VRAM and that means its reserved for the GPU and last, we all know the Wii U GPU is a High Definition Radeon but we dont know the exact model. Wii U AMD HD Radeon with 1GB VRAM vs PS3 nVidia 7800gt 256MB VRAM vs Xbox 360 ATI X1800 256MB VRAM…. but the Wii U GPU is still not a beast, just look at 2GB VRAM GPUs, CF and SLI etc……
Yes! Finally someone who understands me! XD
I think a Ubisoft developer let the cat out of the bag, and its a Radeon HD 6770.
Now as far as the ram goes it has 2gb in all, the dev kits Nintendo initially sent out is reserving 1gb, which can change as the OS becomes more optimized, so for example the next revision could unleash an extra 512mb to developers.
This could be why Pikmin 3 was pushed back as they need more memory to store more high res textures, some of the screenshots while look gorgeous, the ground looked it was a low res place holder intentionally. Time will only tell, we should know more by end of spring/beginning of Summer when it releases.
What? I never said the Wii U was the same? I’m just saying that the Wii U is not launching with the advanced harware like the 360 did. So I wouldn’t expect games to change drastically over time. Devs will learn tricks, but not on new tech.
I have the same video card in my PC gaming rig (Radeon 6000 series), the GPU in this is more than capable of producing high frame rates with all the detail settings on high/very high… we just have to wait and see as developers start to push the hardware, which hasn’t happened yet, we just seen ports from PS360.
Like. And yes I absolutely cannot wait to find out more about these things. I’m glad there is at least one other positive thinking sane person that visits this site.
Translation – The Wiiu is a fucking monster . Utilize it and you Will get games that look 2-3 times as good as Day 1 rushed ports such as AC3 and ME3. Some Nintendo haters think the Wiiu is maxed out already lol! I know for sure When Zelda Wiiu comes out it will turn heads. And people will be wondering how it looks so damn close to PS4 and 720 graphics.
I think people are really underestimating the Wiiu’s graphical capabilities , You heard Iwata , the Wiiu wasn’t even finished until Mid 2012. That means games like ZombiU and Ports like Batman were all done on Early dev kits.
I think it will end up with considerably better graphics than ps4 and 720 but maybe considerably behind PS4 and 720. Sort of inbetween Ps3 and PS4. We have no evidence to prove this or disprove this yet , but 1-2 years from now there will be games that prove it is considerably better than Gen 7 graphically.
I concur.
”I think it will end up with considerably better graphics than ps4 and 720 but ” except that bit I meant PS3 and 360.
I figured that after your next sentence. ;)
It’s just one coffee after another. Kinda messes you up a bit.
Unless the PS4 and the 720 has 4k graphics, I don’t think we will see any major graphical leaps this gen.
Resoloution is just resoloution , if they were 4K it would hold back the Fidelity of those consoles. Assassins creed 3 running 1080p native compared to it running 4K native is hardly a leap at all. One just looks a tiny bit crisper if you start eyeballing your monitor up close.
I say fuck resoloution and focus on 720 and 1080p 30/60FPS , but actually increase the Graphics. For example the N64 and gamecube both put out the same standard definition resoloution , but the Gamecube dramtically increased visual fidelity.
Resoloution is important , but jumping to 4K is just not needed. 1080p with anti aliasing can look near perfect.
Agreed.
Truth to be told. Besides, most people are only now starting to go to Full HD 1080p TVs, it’s getting to be the standard, 4K tvs are way too new, expensive and won’t be widely used soon enough.
1080p is already a standard and as a PC gamer with high end hardware i can agree with you…. resolution is not he most important thing. Game settingson the other hand are far more important…. 1080p or 1920x 1080p is recommended aka should be native for 22″ – 24″ monitors/TV but most poeple with PS3 and Xbox 360 dont complain about that, they are playing games in 720p resolutuon or in other words 1280x 720 on 30-60 ” TVs.
Now, whos a hypocrite? its obivious!
I do like my PS3 but cmon, this is fucking hilarious… i hate those kind of people who complain about resolution, they are hypocrites.
720p with full AA can look awesome , near perfect unless you ho close to your screen and start nit picking….
There isn’t much difference to the common eye between 720p and 1080p. As soon as a game is rendered below native 720p it becomes obvious though. Games rendered at 720p glow and pop much better than Sub HD games.
I agree 100% I want my games to look OVERALL better. Resolution is at the bottum of my Want list
Exactly. I don’t mind playing games on the 480p Gamepad as long as they look amazing !
totally agree, but I still assume the wWiiu(and other next gen consoles will have modest leap over the current gen, with 720 and ps4 only being slightly more powerful than the wWiiu.
no “OMG that looks @#$@ AMAZING!!!” this gen
Oh you bet your ass there will be ”OMG” games left right and centre. Maybe not right away , but 2-3 years into the life of WIiu , 720 and Ps4 you will have the OMG moments.
talking n more about immense graphical leaps, not “”OMG that game looks so AWESOME!!!”
you know, raw performance type “OMG that looks @#%@ AMAZING!!!”
its al right tif you didn’t understand that though.
I get ya ….
Monolith soft game looks fucking amezing, it is far far from this current gen grafix. No waaaay the ps3 and xbox360 can handle a big game like that so beatyfull. i got the ps3 and xbox360 but i am honest, i am not a fanboy like the most!!!!
It probably looks so good because Monolith Soft’s a first party developer who would’ve got their hands on the earliest dev kits and would’ve gotten more experience on how to optimise on the Wii U etc. With a year or two, third party devs will be used to the hardware and will be making games just as beautiful.
The Wii U is a powerful system, but calling it a “fucking monster” is ridiculous. Unless you’ve seen the Wii U maxed out, you have no right to make such claims
I know , It’s called sarcastic humor with an element of optimism and expectancy.
Also known as being an idiot.
You do know if persons are alowed to talk shit about the wiiu we sede alowed to say what ever the good thing we want too right?
Yes, but saying those things isn’t going to change the Wii U’s hardware.
Is not about changing is more of like a fealing we have for the console, i feal my 3 ds is a best even though is inferior to cell phones and the vita so let him do his ad campaing :)
So basically you tell yourself lies to make you feel better?
Is not a lie it just a difference in measure, you measure hardware to say is a beast i measure other things is all in each individuals.
I think the word is you guys are looking for is exaggerating.
MY SUPER NINTENDO IS A BEAST RUNNING MARIO WORLD
My parakeet is a beast.
You guys understanded perfectly :)
Well , yeh.
I just wonder why didn’t they put a GPU wich is a 2012 model so that the graphics could be true next generation.
Were you willing to spend $599 for a video game console? Because I sure as hell would have bought a PS3 if the Wii U was $599, would’ve played it until the price drop.
dude some grafix card from 2009 out perform some card grom 2012!!
Then try to play a 2012 game whit a 2009 gpu then it will give you all kinds of errors and perofrmance troubles.
It will give less perofrmance troubles than your engish.
English* wen you check some 1 spelling be sure that yours is not more stupid that the 1 you just check xD.
* when
Atleast i own him :P
*At least
He was mocking you.
Thanks dude but the only think he mocked was my phone.xD
yeah atleast you own me now giev me back XDDD :PP
*stupid than
Sorry but you are not right…. he is right, a older high end GPU is stronger than 0h low end. The only peoblem is with shader support…. some games require you to own minimum a DX 11 GPU, for example Crysis 3, low end GTX 400 and low end HD 5000 can run the game but high DX 10 GPU GTX 260 cant even run the game because of the shaders even if the GPU is noticeable stronger than a low end DX 11 GPU.
because we don’t want Sony and MS to run outta business since all they can create due to lack of creativeness is consoles with more raw power?
Plus Nintendo is aware of how the economy is and they don’t want to charge you 500 or 600 for a game console?
People are fools to think the Wii-U is at anything above 18%. You cant rely on your scouters here. The Wii produced XENOBLADE CHRONICLES and playing through this game I swear I didnt think the Wii was EVER capable of this. So just be patient.
IKR. I bought Xenoblade back in August and I got the Wii back in December ’06. Sometimes while playing, I would go to a high hill and look out at the lands and nature xD! It looked so awesome for an apparently terrible console.
I hope there will be games like that for the Wii U, too, but I hope they will come sooner than at the end of the console’s life (although Xenoblade came out in 2010 for Japan).
If only I could find a copy. I think I’m going to have to look online for it because I can’t seem to find it in any stores.
I do the same thing. Go and look around. The landscape in xenoblade is amazing
I do the same thing. Go and look around. The landscape in xenoblade is amazing . The true monado makes my soul shine lol.
Calling it now; this topic is going to explode with nay-saying trolls later on today.
Anyways, yeah, I feel that the Wii U is more than up to the challenge of creating compelling games. It won’t be a power beast like PS4 or 720, but it won’t need to be. People place too much importance on how shiny the games are when it’s the gameplay that will keep them coming back. If that were not true then games like Okami or Wind Waker wouldn’t have been given a second look.
People are stupid just cause a game dosnt use 4g of memory and a 6 core procesor games are automaticaly ugly, i still think the first company of heroes are the best looking pc games ever from a tecnical and graphical stand point. Still can belive THQ is gone. :(
CoH still not gone I believe. Relic, the developer, was bought by other publisher, I don’t remember which one. It’ll be sooner or later when they release the latest CoH. hopefully.
People are obsessing too much over specs. The spec argument is basically this generations version of the bit wars, except with more drama. It’s one thing to be interested or concerned for the specs the console is using, and it’s another to simply use it as leverage to prove console A is better than console B. Again, just like the bit wars.
What gets me though is the majority of people who use the specs argument don’t know shit about tech. They see the phrase “PS4 will have an 8 core processor” and they flip out like it’s the most powerful machine ever made, disregarding the people who actually know tech who will tell you that there are triple cores out there that beat 8 core processors, but that’s besides the point. Spec talk is a simple fanboy argument to prove their console is better. Once again, following the bit wars, and just like the gamers knowledge of what a bit was, these people do not know tech.
Expect the Core war to be the true predecessor to the Bit wars.
I HAS MOAR CORES
Well stupid me, I meant successor.
The Ps4 and 720 will NOT be beasts…
Will they be stronger than the Wii U? Yes. Will it be like the Wii vs the 360?
no….
huge graphics leap isn’t happening this gen. And the Wii U will do great. Nintendo is the Master their machines
It’ll probably be more like 360 conpared to the ps3. People think 360 games look on par or better than ps3 games. Some? Yes. Most? God no.
Skyrim looks better, Mass Effect looks better, Dead Space looks better MG rising looks better, the ps3 just had the difficult hardware.
Xbox 360 games are looking better when talking about 80% multiplatform games, but PS3 exclusives and some multiplat games are looking better than Xbox 360 exclusives. I own a PS3, Wii and a PC…. i dont own a Xbox 360 but i compared the graphics numerous times.
No, 360 games dont look better, they may run better, or load faster, but they dont look better, in terms of textures, lighting, i own a ps3 and my brother owns a 360 and any game we both own he straight up admits the ps3 version cool better, and sharper (we have the same tv’s too), from Skyrim, to Mass Effect, to Dead Space, and tons of other, they just look better, the only games ive played that are noticably worse are Far Cry 3 and Bayonetta.
Well, some new PS3 multiplatform games are looking better… that could be true, but im talking about 80% multiplats and mostly some older games, not just new games.
“It’ll probably be more like 360 conpared to the ps3.”
No, just fucking no. Stop. You’re an idiot.
Exactly.
Both of the very likely rumoured specs for the oter consoles, BOTH have weaker CPU’s, because they dont need them to be CELL processors, its all different architechture.
Im just glad every console has sort of banded together and taken the exact same brand of GPU and CPU as each console, that’ll make porting to consoles alot cheaper, effieciant, and you wont have case where companies couldnt use the CELL processor, and games look better or worse depending on the console.
They are all eyeing up each others architecure to steal or share ports/development. Businesses won’t think twice about porting if it’s easy and less time consuming. You will even see Wiiu games get ported to Ps4 and 720.
It’s got nothing to do with “stealing”.
Development costs are getting out of hand, and shitty iOS crap is taking the market. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some joint effort by all companies to make each console easy to port to and develop for.
In the end, if the game market does well, everyone does well.
True.
Am I the only one who noticed how many spelling errors were in the article? o_O
No, i saw them too xD
Eh. It didn’t bother me.
But spelling isn’t something we Americans do well. So, I have gotten used to it.
No… I cant sea anyspeling error in article.
As far as I know its more important the GPU, PS3 can tell having a huge processing power but making that power stuck because of GPU.
Considering the fact that the next generation of graphics engines, Unreal Engine 4, Frostbite 2, FOX Engine, Cry Engine 3 can all be run on the Wii U, The gap will be much, much smaller this time around. Even if PS4/720 are quite a bit more powerful, they will just have more or less better textures/effects/lighting at best. Unlike the fact that the Wii couldn’t run Unreal Engine 3, Frostbite, Cry Engine 1 or 2, while those were the standards for PS3/360 games. That’s why the gap was so big between Wii and PS3/360. The Wii U may not be able to max out Unreal 4, or some of those engines, (reports do say it runs Unreal Engine 3 with ease) and maybe PS4/720 will, but again, the difference between the same engines at max settings or medium high settings, is not the same as we saw with Wii and PS3/360.
It’s probably going to be much closer to 360 vs PS3. The Wii U will be in the 360’s position, and quite possibly, most multi platform titles will be built on it, and ported over to 720/PS4, much like many games are built on the 360 and ported to PS3, and now the Wii U as well. That could be good for Nintendo, to be the “platform of choice” for the next generation. They will be accustomed to it by then, and will have a pretty easy time developing on it, and we’ll see more 3rd party games on the system. Seems likely, but of course, anything is possible. I just don’t see how the gap would be so great, that it wouldn’t pan out in that kind of fashion.
I think the differences will be more kind of resolution and frame rate. Example ps4 games may be 1080p native in 60 frames while wiiu could have the exact same game in 720p in 45 frames.
That’s also entirely possible. The Wii is capable of 1080p native/60fps, but will it be for later games? Maybe not so much, but I think once the nuances of the Wii U are learned, it will stand up pretty well to the upcoming Sony/MS consoles.
possible its already doing that DERP
Dude, chill out. You are taking what I said completely wrong. I know the Wii U is already doing 60fps with 1080p native. They are doing that on graphics engines comparable with Unreal 3, which has been a sort of standard for PS3/360 games. Now, the Wii U can, as I stated before, run the next generation of engines, like Unreal 4, Cry engine 3, FOX Engine, Frostbite 2 and the like. The question remains to be seen, if the Wii U can run THOSE engines at 1080p at 60fps. Maybe it can, maybe it won’t. We won’t know. I’m not saying the Wii U sucks, not in the slightest. I love my Wii U, and I have high hopes for it. DERP yourself, for not understanding my comment.
FrostBite 2 and Unreal Engine 4 are NOT confirmed for Wii U
Dude, Frostbite 2 was used on Battlefield 3, a 360 game, and Epic Games has said developers could use Unreal 4 on a Wii U game, if they chose to do so.
I think you are confusing capable with confirmed. There hasn’t been a confirmed game, as of yet, that uses Frostbite 2, or Unreal 4 on Wii U. The discussion is that Wii U is CAPABLE… C-A-P-A-B-L-E … of running the game engines, that are designed for the next generation. Do you get it yet? I sure hope so.
I did,heck we may even see completly new engines.
I doubt there will be new engines. Unreal 4/Frostbite 2/FOX Engine/Cry Engine 3 are all very, very new, and were meant for the next set of consoles. All of them except Unreal 4, have made an appearance, or are about to make an appearance, on PS3/360.
Battlefield 3 on 360 used Frostbite 2
Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeros on PS3 is using FOX Engine
Crysis 3 on PS3/360 is using Cry Engine 3
They are running on the lower end of their specs on those consoles, yet look better than almost any other games on those consoles. The Wii U can run them in higher capacity, and possibly close to, or at max.
have you see the RED engine from the developers of the witcher? That 1 looks prety good and is almost brand new.
I have not seen that engine, but I would imagine it’s impressive, like all the others are. They aren’t super huge leaps like say Unreal 3 over Unreal 2, but they do look very crisp and clean, and should make for some nice eye candy in the years to come
Isn’t frostbite 2 used for need for speed most wanted a game coming to the wiiu?
You are correct, that game does use Frostbite 2, and is confirmed for Wii U, so indeed, Frostbite 2 is confirmed for Wii U. Thanks for pointing that out, I wasn’t aware of that little tidbit.
What?
You think that most developers will develop games on the Wii u and port it over to the ps4/720?
I highly doubt that since so many developers are already hesitant to bring games to the Wii u. It just isn’t going to happen. They are not going to build a game and optimize it for the Wii u if developers think that their core audience is on other platforms. It just doesn’t make sense when you step back and think about it for a second.
I think the more likely situation is that they will port the games and scale down the graphics, effects, and etc. This is perfectly acceptable to me. Wii games (like Twilight Princess) look good enough for me.
It’s definitely possible, especially if the Wii U is relatively comparable to the PS4/720, like the 360 was to the PS3, AND it’s easier to develop on than PS4/720. I agree that there is some hesitation from 3rd parties. There are a few possible reasons for that though.
Is it because they are having such a hard time breaking even, let alone making profit on big budget games on PS3/360, that they are not willing to jump full on into the next, more expensive to develop, generation of games just yet?
Is it because the Wii U hasn’t sold that many units? It’s sold more than PS4/720, obviously… but maybe because the Wii didn’t seem to sell as many software titles as PS3/360? (on a side note, the Wii has far more games that sold 5+ million copies than either PS3/360, but most were indeed first party)
There may be some bad blood from the Wii, that is keeping them hesitant. Of course a Wii version of say, COD wouldn’t sell as well as the other versions. People interested in that genre are typically graphics whores. The “hardcore” gamer that 3rd parties love, need these “supah grafix” to satisfy their whims. The Wii couldn’t do that, PLUS, they collectively dismissed the Wii as a “waggle fest”, which was a pretty piss poor attitude towards a really fun console.
The Wii U isn’t going to be in the same position as the Wii. It has, what will be, comparable graphics this time, it has a “modern controller” with the Pro Controller (It’s a freaking 360 controller) plus, the potential for a couple of neat extra tricks with the Gamepad, which can just as easily be ignored completely, and just allow for off screen play, and would be acceptable to many.
Time will tell what happens. It’ll be interesting to see it unfold regardless.
Until either the ps4 or 720 emerges (both of them revealed would be better though), exactly how much Wii U compares to either of them really is up in the air. This wait for an exact comparison is really aggravating.
If the PS4/720 are insanely more powerful than Wii U, the best you can expect, would be This: PS4/720 – Unreal Engine 4 maxed out with 4K resolution with 60fps gameplay, vs Wii U- Unreal Engine 4 at medium to high settings, with 1080p and 30-60fps
That’s a MUCH smaller difference than Wii compared to 360/PS3. The Wii couldn’t even run Unreal Engine 3 in ANY capacity at all. It could only run Unreal Engine 2. The difference between Unreal Engine 2 and 3 is also much larger than Unreal Engine 3 and 4. The Wii U will be much, much more comparable to PS4/720, than Wii was to PS3/360.
Final note. If the PS4/720 could do those max settings, of native 4K at 60fps and max out even Unreal Engine 4 (PS3 can’t really max out Unreal Engine 3) then you could expect to see a price point nearly double that of the Wii U, or at least in the $500+ range. Those games would probably cost closer to $70 as well, as costs would go up. Don’t forget the price of 4K tv’s right now.
Just like the PS/360 can both run games at native 1080p/60fps…. But most of the time they don’t. Just because the tip of the iceberg may be something the Wii U may not be able to handle, I wouldn’t expect there to be hardly any (if any at all) graphical differences between the Wii U and the PS4/Next Box. Like anyone on here, I could be wrong. Besides, isn’t anything over a native 1080p/60fps practically unnoticeable and doesn’t mean anything at all unless you got a 60 + inch television that’s 4K. I think resolution is obsolete at this moment in time, except for the small few who actually own huge 4K TV’s (who knows what the future holds though) and the next gen will worry more about engines. This (as we can all pretty much assume) will be able to be handled at 1080p/60fps the exact same across the board on all systems. At least on the most modern engines out now.
Wow! What an essay. First off, let me thank you for the reply.
There are a lot of things that I have issues with in your reply.
You state that the Wii U is easier to develop for than the ps4/720. How do any of us know that? For all we know, the Wii U could be incredibly difficult to develop for in comparison to the ps4/720.
I think the bad blood that you refer to is 3rd party developers’ software bombing on N consoles because N’s 1st party software totally eclipses their products.
You hit on an important point, which is graphic whores. I am no graphics whore (I am just fine with gamecube graphics to be honest), but others are. And others need their FPS fix. And Microsoft and Sony have cornered that market (for consoles…not PC’s). So, due to brand recognition, brand loyalty, and etc. people who like those “mature” games are going to gravitate toward the Sony and MS consoles. Since MS and Sony have cornered that market and those kind of gamers will get the ps4/720, it just makes sense to optimize their games for those systems. It wouldn’t make sense to create a game from scratch on company’s consoles (Wii/Wii u) where your franchise has performed poorly on or just have not been tested on. Just strictly from a business perspective, it would be more financially viable to develop for the ps4/720 and optimize their games on platforms where they have had success than optimizing it on a N console where N has historically stolen the spot light with their first party titles. An important thing to keep in mind is that those making these decisions on which platform to develop on is all made by guys in suits who probably have little passion for gaming.
Also, dev kits from sony and Ms are out, so that plays a role.
Another thing to keep in mind is that developers/companies have preferences for each console. As patcher would put it, some companies are fanboys too. If they spend years developing for MS and Sony, then they are probably have attached feelings to MS or Sony and may be hating on N. These biases can influence how developers create and optimize games. Just look at rev3games (I know they don’t develop games). N is doing great things, but they just sh*t on N because they are MS and Sony fanboys. Or patcher…that guy just hates N. My point – biases affect business decisions or the way they perceive the video gaming world.
What are your thoughts?
You have made some very good points, and thanks for taking the time to come up with them.
The Wii U may not be easier to develop for, but many developers have said that since the overall architecture is similar to the 360, that they found the learning curve to be much smaller than it has been in the past. The ports to Wii U have been relatively easy for them, for the PS3/360 games that they have ported over already, and some that are upcoming, like Aliens: Colonial Marines, which supposedly looks the best on Wii U, according to the developers. Their first Wii U game, and they’ve managed what they claim are easy improvements, with no problems in the port, like say Bayonetta on PS3. That said, it’s still possible that the PS4/720 will be easier, but they will have at a minimum, of a full year head start on the Wii U, as it’s development kits have been available for nearly a year before it was finalized and released. The final kits were only recently released, for the record though.
If that is any reason for any bad blood, then, that’s really shallow. For someone to hate making games on Nintendo consoles, just because Nintendo games sell insanely well, compared to their games (like 25 million copies of NSMBWii), is all but silly. I sure hope that’s not the issue. It’s not impossible for Nintendo to reclaim the 3rd party support they used to have, from the NES/SNES era. They skipped disc games on N64, which hurt them bad, and bit them through the gamecube era. The Wii was ignored because developers really wanted to use these new graphics engines, that the Wii couldn’t run, and left ports to the Wii to smaller, unknown or lesser known teams, lackluster support for independent developers on Wii Ware and it’s constrictions, and the controllers as well, unfortunately. They have seemingly taken this into consideration, and have given mainstream 3rd party developers what they want. Raw power, a “normal” controller (Pro controller) robust online, great support for independent developers, and yet, gave them something new to play with the gamepad.
There are definitely fanboy developers. Thankfully, most are already exclusives to a particular console. Bungie/343 industries/Naughty Dog etc, are exclusive to MS/Sony. Then you have teams like Platinum Games, which make games for everybody, and don’t seem to show any bias. Ditto with Team Ninja. It happens, but maybe to a lesser extent than it would seem.
Either way, the Wii U is great, and the future of gaming will be interesting to see.
Think a out it. Development could spend this year learning how to program for the Wii U instead of learning the PS4 and 720 a year from now. Porting to the 720 and PS4 for most multiplats would save them a lot of time.

Reblogged this on anthonyvenable110.
OH LOOK EVERYONE COMMON FLAJING FUCKING SENCE VS HERPY DERPY FANBOY LOGIC LOL @ WIIU HATERS AND THERE IM WRONG AS ALWAYS WAY OF THINKING
OH LOOK IWATA SAID ITS SMALL YES IWATA SOME OF US LIKE YOU AINT RETARDED
EDRAM IS 1/5 THE SIZE OF SRAM SO THE EDRAM CATCH IS FIVE TIMES SMALLER THAN IT WOULD IN SRAM IM AWAKE NINTENDO IBM IGNORE THE IGNORENT
THE CPU CORES ARE SMALL YES BECAUSE IBM ARE AT 45 NM AND VS INTEL AMD ETC THOSE COMPANYS WOULD NEED TO BE AT 32 TO 28 NM TO COMPEAT ON SIZE EFFICENCY AND HEAT AND POWER CONSUMPTION
YOU PEOPLE NEED A FUCKING EDUCATION THE EDRAM IN THE CPU IS WAY WAY SMALLER THAN SRAM YOU IDIOTS AND EDRAM AS LEVEL 2 CATCH IS CUTTING EDGE TECH YOU RETARDS
AND IBM EDRAM AS CATCH IS OVER 2X THE BANDWIDTH OF SRAM
EACH WIIU CORE IS WAY WAY MORE POWERFUL THAN THE DUMB JAGUAR CORES IN PS4 AND XBOX NEXT
YOU PEOPLE NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL
I HEARD YOU LIKE CAPS.
you noticedvit red it obsorbed it CAPSVDID THERE JOB !!!!
Oh my gosh, it’s communicating! What should I do?
kill it
No, burn it whit fire.
Caps makes it hard to take this seriously I am afraid.
wiiu cpu amazingly short 4 stage pipeline vs jaguars 16 stage pipe line OH LOOK 4 X shorter so its 4 x better FACT
wiiu cpu has EDRAM as catch not SRAM so it has more than 2 X bandwidth of standard sram catch FACT
wiiu cpu is RISC vs jaguars CISC oh look again wiiu is superior FACT
wiiu cpu has 2to1 4to1 compression real time decompression on thev fly supported in hardware and api vs jaguar witch has no such compression EXAMPLE at 4to1 THE 3MB EDRAM catch is now a 12 mb catch
again superior to the DUMB SHIT ATOM LIKE CPU CALLED JAGUAR IN PS4 etc FACT
wiiu cpu has a dedicated graphics data burst pipe per core capable of blasting graphics data to the gpu compressed directly no need to re use the catch for out going data
vs jaguar that has no such feature FACT
wiiu powerpc 32 bit is 4/5 insytructions per clock efficent vs jaguars 2 instructions per clock
wiiu has a dedicated co cpu in the form of a dualcore ARM embedded into gpu
wiiu also has a dedicated HD SURROUND SOUND DSP
3 core main cpu each core RAPES ps4 XBOX cores dualcore buddy co-cpu and a dsp for sound
WEAK LOL @ DREAMERS
Your such a specs whore -_-
no just educated
I’m educated too, but you don’t see me commenting about every single detail about every console’s technical specs. Besides I don’t even know if whatever you said is even true.
And if it is true, you don’t need to have aneducation to copy and paste words ;)
;)
“no just educated”
The irony of that comment.
He’s an awesome dude.
The awkward moment when you realize he’s actually just hurling around tons of bullshit and Nintendo fans are taking it as fact.
You wouldn’t know bullshit if you steped in it, judging from what you believe. Oh and for this being the topic you have been waiting for ( I am referring to every one of your posts, they have all been about specs) you sure are quiet. ;)
*You’re
Remember, the Xbox 720 is using DDR3 RAM meaning its using the same type of RAM as the Wii U and the fact that its 3 of its 8GBs is used for the OS and who knows, maybe only 1GB is used for the games whilst 3GBs are used for the Browser and Internet and the 1GB left over might be used for Updates.
Meaning the Next Xbox is on the same Level as the Wii U in terms of Power, GPU wise… Xbox Next or whatever is using a MOBILE chipset… yep… the same chipset that lives inside a Galaxy S3 is going to be inside of the Next Xbox but most likely more powerful.
CPU wise… overkill much? Not many developers will take advantage of the 8-Cores of the CPU in the Next Xbox, this happened with the PS3 and look how many “good” ports came to that… it was rare to even get ONE good ported game from the Xbox to the PS3. The Next Xbox will most likely suffer the same faint.
PS4 however, is obviously going to be more powerful but only by a small margin.
AMD JAGUAR IS AMDS VERSION OF A INTEL ATOM SAME CLOCK SAME CATCH SAME PIPEIINE STAGES JUST LOW END OUT OF ORDER HAS BEEN ADDED
LOL @ FANING A ATOM CPU
EXAMPLE INTEL ATOM @1.6GHZ WAS BEATEN TO DEATH WITH A STICK BY WIIS BROADWAY @ 729MHZ FACT
This is indeed true. The Broadway CPU is much more powerful than people give it credit for, and I can see the truth in this fact right here.
If the specs of Durango and Orbis are indeed the ones rumored, and since this gentleman right here seems to know what he’s talking, it might as well be true.
Kaz Hirai said some time ago that the next Playstation wouldn’t be a graphics powerhouse but would focus on entertainment and… stuff for girls.
I seem to remember that someone made a wii equivalent pc and that pc could run crisis 2 in ultra settings at a medium resolution.
So what you are saying is that the Wii U is more powerful than the PS4 in terms of CPU power?
I can see what you mean but remember, the PS4 is using GDDR5 4GB of RAM while both the Next Xbox and Wii U’s RAM is DDR3.
PS4 will still be more powerful in terms of GPU and RAM but I think you are right on the CPU there
like for like YES the wiiu cores LOL DESTROY A JAGUAR CORE THAT IS AS COMMONSENSE AS RAIN BEING WET
JAGUAR IS A ATOM CPU COPY BUT BETTER ATOM AT 1.6GHZ IS WEAKER THAN BROADWAY AT 729MHZ THAT IS SIMPLE FACT
THE WIIU HAS THIS CRACKING TRI CORE GAMECENTRIC EXPRESSO WITH MASSIVE BANDWIDTH EDRAM CATCH ITS BACKED UO BY A DUAL CORE ARM CO CPU AND A DEDICATED SOUND DSP
ITS NOT PS4 CPU VS WIIU CPU THAT IS A LIE
ITS PS4 CPU VS WIIU CPU AND CO CPU AND SOUND DSP
PS4 DOESNT HAVE A CO CPU OR A DSP SO WHY ARE IDIOT MINDED PEOPLE IGNORING TWO PARTS OF THE WIIU CHIP SET
BECAUSE THERE FUCKING MORONS
You scare me dude.
“that is as common sense as rain being wet”–my new tagline haha
Wow thanks for the education boss. I have this knowledge to know defend against my idiot ps/xbox fanboys at work.
Get N or get OUT!!!!
This is just proving that Clockspeed is becoming increasingly irrelevant now a days since Architecture is the main focus now a days.
Though I do see the Wii U being dwarfed by the PS4’s RAM and GPU but in terms of CPU power that is a whole different story, I’m a Sony Fan and even I can admit that
broadway cpu at 729 mhz was over half as good at linux benchmarks than cells powerpe core at 3.2ghz if the linux was broadway optermized it would have matched it
729mhz vs 3.2mhz I REST MY CASE
out of order beats inline risc beats cisc compression data beats no compression big catch beats little catch
high instructions per clock beats low instructions per clock
dedicated function chip sets beat stabdard cpus at things like sound graphics streaming etc
wiiu cpu has a instruction per clock twice that of jaguar it has peak 4to1 compression it has risc it has out of order it has edram catch
jaguar is a off the shelf ATOM competitor jesus its SHITE
gekko of gsmecube had 256k catch vs xbox 128k catch SO DUMB BASTARDS GO OH ITS TWICE AS POWERFUL
WRONG ITS 10 X AS POWERFUL CATCH IL EXPLAIN !!!
XBOX CELERON 128K CATCH NO COMPRESSION PLUS DATA COMING OUT OF THE CPU REUSED THE CATCH SO NO COMPRESSION AND DATA GOING IN TBRU CATCH AND OUT THRU CATCH SO THE CATCH WAS A POOR USE OF 128K SPACE
NOW GEKKO 256K CATCH BUT GEKKO HAS 4TO1 PEAK COMPRESSION SO 4 X 256K WAS 1MB CATCH THATS 8 X XBOX CPU CATCH THEN ADD THE SPACE SAVED BY TBE GRAPHICS BURST PIPES ALLOWING FAST COMPRESSED DATA SHOT TO GPU NOT REUSING THE CATCH
@ PEAK NUMBERS THE GEKKO HAD 10X THE CATCH OF XBOX 1
SIMPLE MATHMATICAL FACT IBM MADE NINTENDO ONE HELL OF A CLEVER DESIGNED CORE IN GEKKO AND BROADWAY AND EXPRESSO ARE NEXT GEN VERSIONS OF IBMS BEST 32 BIT CORE IN HISTORY
FACT IS FACT
show me one single non nintendo cpu core that has 4to1 data compression!!!!!!!
show me one single non nintendo cpu core that has dedicated graphics dars burst pipes with compression
lol you cannot broadway cpu of wii had 5 ececution units in a single core
xbox 360 had 1 ececution unit per core giving a total of 3 broadway a single core of wii had 5 thats 4 more vs xenon core
expresso of wiiu has 15 execution units if not more xbox 360 had 3
PEOPLE TRY THINKING FOR YOURSELFS INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO MR HERP DERP NINTENDO HATER
CAN I JUST POINT OUT THAT WIIU HAS A CHIP SET NOT A PLAIN OLD CPU WHY I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS GOD ONLY KNOWS MAYBE ITS THE NWO BRAIN FUCKING YOU KIDS WITH INOCULATUON JABS OR SOMETHING!!
WIIU DOESNT HAVE A CPU VS THERE CPUS IT HAS A CHIP-SET
TRI CORE CPU ADDITIONAL DUALCORE ARM CPU AND A HD SOUND DSP
WHY ARE YOU IGNORING TWO THIRDS OF THE CHIP SET
DERP
I hope you find yourself entreating because nobody else does.
*entertaining
He actualy knows what he is talking about but the caps makes him looks like an idiot.
No, he’s an idiot. In fact, he defines idiocy.
WHO THE HELL CARES?!
We, arent we talking about specs?
As long as it powerful enough for 3rd parties I play console for game play. I play my pc for graphics.
Lets not treat a inocent console just because the players are asses,all console have gameplay what they lack is divercity.
My little kids like Mario, I like Mario. Wife lets me buy Nintendo’s, win win all round. Would love play Uncharted, Halo Etc, unfortunately have to pick one console, not made of money.
I know and i think the same(love playing Mario whit my 5 year old nephew)nothing better than having a console that you feal save to have your kids play alone whit quality software.
Definatly think they went right direction with powerful gpu as I haven’t had to upgrade my amd 965 because for gaming it performs well. New gpu every year though, doubling gaming performance each time.
wiiu will handle HD sound from its 120mhz DEDICATED DSP
PS4 will need a full 1.6ghz core to match it SIMPLE FACT
id love factor 5 guys to explain wiiu to you people if they were still around they new how amazing that cpu design is
at assemby level code expresso will be punching way way above its weght
nintendo had the best and most evolved plan al along and clearly understood the clockspeed race was over they started this with GAMECUBE
oh look it took ms and sony 3 GENS to come to the same conclusion
you dont doubt nintendo to do so is IGNORENCE
Ofcourse Nintendo knows this game better than Microsoft and Sony, they have been in the game industry longer than eighter of the above mentioned companies have existed..
I like how Nintendo subtily leads the gaming industry and directs what direction it should take without the majority of gamers understanding it. Heck, even since they have adapted the Blue Ocean strategy they are litteraly writing the rules of the gaming industry as the competetors tries to enter their terretory.
PS3 proved better hardware isnt always better. I think PS3 would have been a lot different console if release with DVD not bluray. Need a balance between upgrade and price, I personally think wii-u is sweet spot. I remember the amount of stick 3ds coped when released. Im pretty sure Nintendo are happy with 28 million 2 years.
Oh and nice to read comments on this article relevant to the article for once.
Me too very few insults and even the trolling is on topic :)
impression of a mindless fanboy still to this day fps-ing on a flappy stick pad BECAUSE HIS SO CORE —-NOT
they have 8 cores not 3 giggle giggle bit of wee leaks out into his mommy washed and dried y fronts
weaker cores DOES THAT COMPUTE windows or linux OS DOES THAT COMPUTE
sound processing does that compute io os does that compute
16 stage pipeline vs wiiu-s 4 does that compute
the fact you ignore all the facts then compare 8 to 3 is the inteligence of a small child
xbox 720 will be running windows 8 and that light show gimmic and kinect on thise cores and sound processing before we even look at gaming WAKEY WAKEY TIME FOR SCHOOL
Seriously, off the drugs.
The more they tell the devlopers to take advantage of the Wii U hardware… especially the GPU, the better we get to see Wii U games that are fun, unique, and challenging for everyone… no matter the age, race, or gender.

“shitty* is subjective. It’s already got more third-party support than the Wii did at launch, as far as core games go.
Oh nice name

Yep. :)
