Wii U Is “Surprisingly Powerful”

Rayman Creator Michel Ancel has stated in the latest edition of Nintendo Power that the Wii U is surprisingly powerful. Ancel attributes this power to the extra memory that the Wii U has in comparison to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. Ancel went on to say that the Rayman Legends team has been able to implement a new lighting engine due to the Wii U hardware.

“What surprises me with Wii U is that we don’t have many technical problems. It’s really running very well, in fact. We’re not obliged to constantly optimize things. Even on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions [of Origins], we had some fill-rate issues and things like that. So it’s partly us – we improved the engine – but I think the console is quite powerful. Surprisingly powerful. And there’ a lot of memory. You can really have huge textures, and it’s crazy because sometimes the graphic artist – we built our textures in very high-dentition. They could be used in a movie. Then we compress them, but sometimes they forget to do the compression and it still works! [Laughs] So yeah, it’s quite powerful. It’s hard sometimes when you’re one of the first developers because it’s up to you to come up with solutions to certain problems. But the core elements of the console are surprisingly powerful.

“And because we’re developing for Wii U, we don’t have to worry about cross-platform optimization.

“We can push what the console can do; push it to its limits. And of course, we have a new lighting engine. In fact, the game engine for Origins was mostly just classic sprites in HD, but now we can light them and add shadows and all these things. So there is some technical innovation with the engine itself.”

  1. So can all the extreme skeptics start comparing Wii U to PS4 and 720 now in terms of power? Personally, I’ve always had a strong opinion that this gen will be like 6th gen in terms of power.

    1. nope they will just say ps4 can do 8k and measure the position of every atom in real time and call wiiu a failure because it sells more and is a gimmick and all mario games are childly because mario doesn’t have a gun with chainsaw.

          1. To be fair, most Nintendo fans would not be as defensive if the pricks on the other side of the console wars weren’t such assholes to them in the first place.
            It tends to bring out the worst in fans, when haters come onto forums for things they don’t even like, just to heckle people and point out insecurities then proceed to use labels on the people they mess with that they are more qualified to wear.

      1. Are generations counted merely by graphical capabilities? In my opinion, focusing on this endless discussion just keep the important, relevant traits, aside.

      2. @jamesy

        You didnt see any next gen graphics? what about PCs? 2005/06 PS3&Xbox 360 hardware vs PC 2009-2012 hardware?1?!?!? and you are still saying, you didnt see next gen graphics? (ofc i know, you meant Wii U), but look…… what you can see on the PC today, thats already NEXT GEN GRAPHICS and you will see that on the Wii U (yes ofc, not super-high-ultra graphics like PC but you get the point), so, you really think PS4/Xbox 720 will be more powerful than PC? just compare the damn launch price for 2005-07 GPUs and launch price for 2010-2012 GPUs…. its like 200-300 dolars VS 500-600 dollars + for just a single GPU, i repeat… just a single GPU card..

        “Next gen graphics” is equal to 1st GPU, 2nd RAM…….. and you dont need to have a 0h high end CPU anyway to “feed” the high end SINGLE GPU.

        Your obiviously never played a PC….

        1. ofc i know, Nintendo/Sony/MS have discounts for hardware but cmon dont expect the PS4 (example) to be powerful just like PS3 when comparing PS2 to PS3 if the PS4 launch price will be priced 600 dollars just like the PS3…..

          So, PS3 vs PS2 RAW power is not equal to PS4 vs PS3 RAW power if priced 600 dollars…

        2. HERP FUUKING DERP A GPU 3X WEAKER THAN PC IN A CLOSED OPTIMIZED CONSOLE RUNNING CLEAN AND EFFICIENT WOULD MATCH A PC OF 3X STRONGER

          LOL AT PC IS ACTUALLY POWERFUL PC IS “””””BY FAR”””””” THE LEAST EFFICIENT GAMING HARDWARE YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET

          I DON’T SEE HOW WASTING MONEY ON PARTS THAT ARE TOTALLY WASTED IS SOMETHING TO FAN

          COMPARING PC TO A EFFICIENT NINTENDO CONSOLE IS LIKE COMPARING A SMART PHONE TO 32DS POUND FOR POUND THE PC/SMART DEVICE IS RAPED HARD IN “””””GAMING PERFORMANCE”””””””””””

          NOW TAKE YOUR SCOLDED ASS ELSEWHERE U SAD ACT PC FAN

          1. WHAT THE FUCK?

            OFC i know PC is shit for optimisation but not all games are bad ports (Sleeping Dogs comes to mind, good gameplay and good graphics). Im just saying consoles cant beat PC in hardware (never)… i mean they can if the PS4 will be priced 1000-2000 dollars or so and then it would be stronger than most PC games at begininng + more optimized…. none of them (Sony, Nintendo, MS) will release a new console priced more than 1000 dollars because they know people will than rather buy a high end PC and you cant say a high end hardware (console) will be enough for next 6-10 years in terms of graphics and beat PCs….

            BTW you can build your own PC for about 300 dollars and it still beats both PS3 and Xbox 360 in terms of power and its not a small difference, its like day and night…. and im not a PC fanboy, i love both Sony and Nintendo too (especially Nintendo and Sony exclusives). And i dont know why people think Wii U is not more powerful than PS3 and Xbox360, thats ridiculous!!!

      3. YOU JUST COMPLETELY FAILED THE ANSWER TO WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR WAS CLEARLY IN WHAT HE SAID BUT BECAUSE YOUR BRAIN IS ALL FUZZY THINKING ABOUT HUGE COCKS YOU MISSED IT

        RIGHT IL ENLIGHTEN YOUR FUUUKING FAGGOT FANBOY ASS

        DID HE SAY THE PS3 AND X360 IN RAYMAN ORIGINS HAD FILLRATE ISSUES YES
        AND THE RESOLUTION IS NO WERE NEAR TRUE NATIVE 1080P

        THE WIIU DIDNT HAVE FILLRATE ISSUES AND HANDLES 1080P FINE AND DANDY AT 60 FRAMES

        THEN OH LOOK YOU MINDLESS FAGGOT THERES A CONTROLLER SCREEN (U FUKING FORGOT ABOUT HERP FUKWIT DERP)

        DOING THE SAME GRAPHICS AGAIN @ 480P 60 FRAMES

        SO IF THE PS3 AND X360 SUFFERED AT SUB 1080P AND SUB 60 FRAMES

        AND THE WIIU DIDNT AT 1080P 60 FRAMES THEN ON TOP OF THAT DID 60 FRAMES 480P AND THE GRAPHICS ALOVER AGAIN ON THE CONTROLLER

        WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU JEEESUUUSSS TO THINK YOU COULD EXHALE AND I BREATH IN YOUR AIR SCARES ME

        HERPY DERPY PERSON JUST GOT OWNED

      4. Really? so i guess that means the PS3/360 really are showing their age, especially since they cant even handle a 2D game, rendered in 1080p, 60 frames per second with no issues at all…

    1. no man :S….. PS4 and Xbox 720 will be out probably in 2014 year, Epic said UE4 engine will be out in 2014 year, they are always following the next gen consoles.

      So, ofc…. PS4 and Xbox 720/8 will be more powerful (2014 year vs 2012), Wii U development started in 2010 year, but PS4 and Xbox 720/08 development started too (probably), but things will change in 2014 year.

      1. Except the truth is Sony can’t afford making a PS4 due to laying off employees and selling the super slip PS3 at a loss. The Xbox 8 won’t be that powerful, won’t have backwards compatibility of playing 360 games, and you STILL can’t play games online for free.

  2. So much for the ‘Wii U is current gen’ trolls, but I guess this will stop them now….hehe, who am I kidding?
    Not that graphics and power have anything to do with whether a console is current gen or next gen….

    1. All these aguements reminds me of when the Atari Jaguar came out. It was 64-bits, which was a big deal at the time, but it’s games still sucked ass.

      1. I agree, but nintendo does have the upper hand in their games because they have Mario, Zelda, Earthbound, Donkey Kong, F-zero, Kirby, Metroid, starfox, & Now BAYONETTA 2!!! etc.. while xbox has only Halo and Forza motorsport & Ps3 just has shitty exclusives & CoD..

        1. “Ps3 just has shitty exclusives & CoD”

          A dumb comment made by a retard. Go and get an education you brain damaged imbecile.

      1. No, i have a ps3, im on it right now. I’ve owned every playstation, and the Wii was actually my first Nintendo home console ( i did alot of catching up too). However, the playstation brand has lost my interest. The exclusives are not siginificant enough, so im going PC next gen, as well as Nintendo.

        What do you have to say about that?

        1. The reason there here is because there isn’t any Ps4 news or Xbox 720 news because Sony and Microsoft is to embarrassed to release anything about them so there here trying to convince themselves that Ps4 and Xbox 720 will be good when they have no proof that there anymore powerful than the wii

  3. I do not care. I am a Nintendo fan and not a MS or a PS fan. I could not care less about graphics.
    Super Nintendo FTW

  4. nope they will just say ps4 can do 8k and measure the position of every atom in real time and call wiiu a failure because it sells more and is a gimmick and all mario games are childly because mario doesn’t have a gun with chainsaw.

  5. Why “surprisingly”? A next-gen console shouldn’t be “surprisingly powerful”. I think that speaks volumes as to what a few third party developers really think of Nintendo hardware.

    What’s disturbing is once again, some developers only seem to make a note of the extra memory (32mb of eDRAM + 1GB of RAM for the games ) and little else when discussing the power of it.

    1. The wiiu hits the development cost sweet spot. It’s perfectly powered.

      If sony make a console too powerfull , the majority of developers won’t have the money to fully utilize that power.

      Next gen = this gen tarted up .

      1. “It’s perfectly powered”

        See you in 2015.

        “If sony make a console too powerfull , the majority of developers won’t have the money to fully utilize that power.”

        Safe to say you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

        1. Sony announced last Friday they will be laying off 2,000 employees in Japan via “early retirement,” according to The Next Web. The layoffs are expected to hit the PlayStation manufacturer’s head office the hardest. 20 percent of the employees will be laid off by the end of the year. The lay off is going to save the company $378 million annually starting in 2013.

          This layoff is in line with the plan that was laid out earlier this year when the company announced that it would layoff 10,000 employees, which includes 3,000 to 4,000 in Japan. The restructuring program is expected to cost $945 million.

          The restructuring program includes more than just slashing budgets and laying off employees. Sony spent $644 million on Olympus, that will combine the companies camera technologies, as well as focusing on the medical imaging industry.

          Sony’s gaming division has also been affected by the restructuring. Sony has closed in Liverpool studio in the UK, as well as Zipper Interactive and BigBig Studios.

          Sony had also sold off its chemical productions business in June for $730 million. The company in August announced that it would lay off 1,000 jobs from its handset division, which is being relocated to Japan from Sweden.

          Sony in its most recent financial report posted a loss of $310 million, which is an increase from $195.3 million during the same period the year before.

          1. It’s called trimming the fat, which if you knew what that means in business, then you wouldn’t be posting this.

            I don’t even know why you posted this, it’s so irrelevant to the posts that it makes my brain hurt.

              1. Getting rid of useless ventures/divisions/studios/resources/etc that are no longer of use or profit to them = trimming the fat.

                If they close down such things…what do you think happens to the employees?

                HMM? For the love of Christ, think before you post.

                    1. OMG!SHUT UP!I have never seen someone who has commented this much all in vain! You should just get out of this site with that hairy mud-flap ass of yours that shits these posts out of that hole you call a mouth.

                1. They were hardly useless back in the day. The only reason they’re cut off now is because Sony’s gaming division is consuming Sony like a cancer that won’t die. Seriously, when was the last time anybody paid attention to any of Sony’s other products? Before the PS2, of course.

        2. Please, for your own enjoyment, stop visiting this Nintendo centric blog. You don’t like Nintendo, and that’s okay, but please don’t be rude to the people that do.

        3. Dude , the gaming industry in paticular the development industry is in a huge state of unrest. Only big franchises are getting money poured into them , and studios are collapseing left right and centre due to extreme development costs of making games with the standards of today.

          The graphics of wiiu will fit comftorbly for the next 5-6 years.

          If sony were to release a MEGA powerfull console it would be mega expensive. Only the richest developers could utilize the console in this day and age and Sony would go bust.

          The ps4 will be a low-mid gaming pc spec. IE – the same as this gen just tarted up a bit…

          1. BECAUSE NINTENDO DISRUPTED THE WHOLE INDUSTRY JUST LIKE THEY DID IN THE 80S WEN THEY KILLED ATARI’S ASS

            99% OF ALL POSIBLE PROFITS THIS GEN ENDED UP AT NINTENDO WHILST EA ETC CRASHED AND BURNED PEOPLE JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS NINTENDO DID IF WI HAD JUST ONE MORE MEGA STRONG YEAR HALF THIS INDUSTRY WOULD HAVE DIED THATS THE POWER OF Wii the people wii the people got a wii and started a revolution

            DID YOU NOT HEAR IWATA IN 2006 AND THE REST IS HISTORY i just cannot wait for that dAY TO ARRIVE GET UP SWITCH TV ON SONY IS BANKRUPT BRING IT ON IL HAVE THE POPCORN READY

            AND HATFULL POSTS ALL OVER THE NET BASICALLY SAYING TO ALL SONY TARDS I TOLD YOU SO

            1. The Humble Follower of the Almighty Goat Sorcerer

              Brother, please, each console has its ups and downs, no console is better than the others. All are equal. I imagine a day where we can all game in one harmonious community, with the almighty Goat Sorcerer watching over us.
              The Goat Sorcerer will bring balance to the cyberspace.

        4. 2015… You mean it’ll be in the middle of its life cycle and it will be utilised more powerfully than at launch, whereas the next PS/Xbox will still be new technologies that devs will still be learning how to use best?

          Alternatively:
          2015… You mean in the same state that the next PS/Xbox will be in after they’ve been around for 3 years, too?

    2. Surprisingly, because people like you and droves of others would be surprised to discover that it is powerful because of your crazy fixation on trolling round the internet and shouting lame insults on anyone who says they like to play nintendo games.

    1. Last time I checked, you weren’t a game devolper, you haven’t tried the Wii U, you’re a horrible troll, you lack punctuation, shall I go on?

      1. zigfried von schroder

        Does America has too much idiots?You call us gay but if is that so then we will call you stupid people and suckers because you fall onto others traps HAHAHAHAHA.FACE IT YOU ARE JUST FANSUCKERS

            1. zigfried von schroder

              I will definitely buy the next xbox or maybe the ps4 cause they will be better than that rubbish [wiiu]

            2. It looks like you fell into MY trap. Your telling me to learn english even though you called CheckItNow12 a fansucker and yet your saying he’s a fangullible? Your sounding real smart about now.

              1. zigfried von schroder

                Why thank you and you and i would advice you to learn the english accend as vell because you neva know what person you’ll face HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

          1. zigfried von schroder

            Overcome that fanboyism!You are such idiots and you cant understand what is a thieve company
            GET A LIFE LOSAS

            1. Says the person that’s wasting his time trolling fans of a company he doesn’t even like? Dude, rethink your life a bit.

            2. Lmfao go back to school, kid, before you making a fool of yourself. Oh, and you want my lollipop that you wanna suck on? ;)

    2. Pk, I’m going to put this in words an X-Drone would understand. Look at a launch 360 game, then look at a late PS2 game. Do you see any real difference? NO. And guess what? The Xbox was more powerful than the PS2 in every single way, and eventually had extremely superior graphics. The Wii U is more powerful than the 360, and in two years time we’ll see games which vastly better graphics.

      And guess what? The same thing is going to happen with the 720 and PS4 as well. The graphical quality of those two systems will be on par with the Wii U, an inferior console technically, when they launch in (most likely) 2014. Then it will take up to two years (2016) for them to reach graphical quality which outshines the Wii U, just like the Wii U will go through with the PS3 and 360. But guess what? The Wii U WILL BE OVER HALFWAY THROUGH ITS LIFECYCLE BY THEN.

      Have you seen actual specs for the Wii U? No. If you have seen the speculative specs, do you have enough knowledge of them to reach a valid and unbiased conclusion? No. Can you give a decent argument, rather than just post the same Nintendo-hate on every single page? NO.

      Sit down son, you have just been schooled.

  6. I played Rayman Legends last week for about half an hour on 3 different demo unit’s . and wow ….. just wow….

    Yeh the game looks PERFECT , but it’s more than that the game redefines multiplayer and the gameplay is exhilerating and perfect.

    Ancel and montpelier have made Eguchi and EAD look like total noobs – EAD = exposed.

      1. I’m repeating this for years. They did nothing relevant since Super Mario World – 21 years ago.

        And, unfortunately, I don’t have any expectations with Takashi Tezuka, who just killed the 2D Mario franchise.

          1. Are Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy 1-2 2D? Sometimes it’s good to read and understand properly what others say.

            And regarding New Super Mario Bros, sometimes I feel like Nintendo was cheating with us releasing such a horrible game.

            1. The first NSMB on DS was pretty good, then it just went way down hill. It was the only game to have actual original bosses in its castles (Petey Piranha and Bowser being the only exception). Now all we get are the Koopalings and whatever other “retro” bosses they can throw at us.

      2. Mike S, you’re as useless as those who gave you your sad life.
        New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. 2 are awesome.
        And New Super Mario Bros. U is looking very good.
        So… fuck off.

            1. I seriously have no idea why I did. I didn’t exactly play the first one, tried this, and my god, never again will I play a 2D Mario game.

              The experience was quite traumatic. Had to play LBP for a week to get over it.

  7. “Ancel attributes this power to the extra memory that the Wii U has in comparison to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3”

    no he doesn’t Oo

    he makes 2 seperate points about the power of the system and the memory according to this quote and is in no way reducing the power of the system to its memory size

    1. They’re in a state of denial. I don’t blame them, it’s hard to believe Nintendo has made a very powerful machine after the “underpowered” Wii. But that was the past, and this is the future. Of gaming.

            1. A console that do the same game from another console that developers have 7 years working from day 1 is powerfull

        1. If you really expect launch games to show off the power of a console then you’re either ignorant or just plain stupid.

    1. I love all the drama you trolls make, especially when they don’t know this is a Nintendo site, not a xbox and sony site. its not even an Xbox fanboy and sony drone site.

    2. The only thing you’ve wasted is a good egg. As it stands, the world would have been better off if your dad had just spunked into a tissue. Go get your friends, all four of them. Well, five if you count your thumb. We’ll be waiting, and we still won’t care.

  8. I’m bored with all these topics about the power of the console. It’s already been established that Wii U is a powerful next gen console, the start of the 8th gen. Now all that’s left to do is wait for it be released. We’re 28 days away. Leave luck to heaven.

    1. It is boring , but I would still like to know the official specs…

      The wiiu is all about it’s controller and innovation , but the more powerfull the better for everybody including the sucess of the system and the higher quality games that brings the fans :).

      Totaly agree though these are boring , we need the spec sheet to put an end to this !!!

        1. LoL!!! nah , that shit is snide , but is foxconns fault NOT Nintendos :).

          We need the spec sheet to put an end to all these power debate articles about wiiu . There has been over a million power debate articles in 2012 lol

    1. Now now, don’t be a fanboy. It doesn’t matter if someone is a fan of Sony or MS – an idiot is an idiot, regardless of what system they favour.

  9. wiiu is the greatest platform ever so go wait for your sony consele you know if they are not bankrupt by then bye trolls

  10. Pingback: Nintenderos.com – Wii U, 3DS, Wii, DS, Videojuegos y Consolas Nintendo | El creador de Rayman dice que Wii U es realmente potente

  11. THE PS3 AND XBOX 360 HAD FILLRATE ISSUES AT half 1080p gimped trick rendering TV SET ONLY HOLD THAT THOUGHT

    wiiu didnt at 1080p 60 frames tv set and 60 frames 480p controller THAT IS CLEARLY A MASSIVE FILLRATE 120 FRAMES AND 1080P AND 480P COMBINED

    got to love how the haters like to pretend the controller isnt kicking out bad ass graphics at the same time

    if the gpu is based on what i think it is the texel fillrate is 24gtexels to 25gtexels and the gflops(stupid way of judging power i know) is higher than rsx xenos and hollywood combined

    just a thought,,, oh and a basic breakdown of ram shows at least 3x ps3 real world gaming memory

  12. Don’t care much for this, as long as the games are great to back up those claims. In the end, it’s the games that matter.

  13. I like how Nintendo is putting the burden of promotion on the developers’ shoulders. In fact they seem to be putting the burden of everything on their shoulders, whether it be voice chat, online support, PR, gameplay. They’re adopting a rather antifederalist approach. I like it.

  14. This really confirmed every other developer’s opinion about the Wii U. that I have heard so far…

    “The Wii U is powerful and easy to work with.”

    I can expect other third party games to go to Wii U.

  16. What a bunch of ass hurt fanboys. PS4 will be more powerful than the Wii U and there will be a noticable graphical gap. Just accept it.

    1. Considering the PS4 has a rumoured release of 2014, then yes, of course it will be more powerful. There may be a graphics gap, yes. Noticeable? That’s questionable, we’ll have to wait and see.
      However, the question is, how much is it going to cost? For a new gen console, the Wii U is CHEAP. You can’t argue that. If the PS4 is too expensive it simply won’t sell as well. If they want to price it competitively then it can’t be too much more powerful. Besides which, by the release of the PS4/next Xbox, the Wii U will have been around a while, and devs will know how to use it. The new tech and Wii U might run on par with each other until Nintendo launches the next console, so while the PS4/720 runs their last few years the next Nintendo console is already powerful enough to be on par with those consoles (just like Wii U and PS3/360), and then by the time the next ones come out again devs already know how to use it and it runs on par.
      Of course that’s just a theory but looking at history that’s typically how console life cycles work, so releasing cheaper and slightly less powerful tech 2 years earlier than their competitors could be a really smart move for Nintendo, simply because they can start this new cycle.

    2. True, but here’s the thing: Graphics are only good once, same with story. Once you’ve gotten used to the graphics and already understood the story, it’s the gameplay and content that either call you back to the game or have you leave it in a drawer waiting to be traded in.

    3. yeah to bad unless you a
      re rich you wont bye i
      t besides wiiu is 1 and a half as strong as playstaion and xbox and sony is bank rupt and even if
      they make a new connsel it wont be out till 2015 at least same goes for the new xbox

  17. that pretty much explains what I’ve been seein. When I was best buy this past saturday, I kept looking at the ps3 version and wii u version of rayman (origins/legends). I couldn’t put my eye on it but I knew there was something different about the game in terms of graphics. Now I know, it’s the lighting engine.

  19. It’s quite interesting reading through the internet wide jungle of comments about Wii U and the fanboy’s raging contributions to this dispute. I’m observing the evolution of the consoles for quite a few years now as well as I always was into PC gaming. As we all know, or at least should if we want to discuss this subject, nintendo, sega and some others carried out the bit wars which led to nothing or even to failure of some of the involved companies. So it is proven that technology doesn’t bring success or make good games, period.
    With the evolution and microsoft entering the console market, the systems were getting closer to the PC’s. Accessible OS, usable as DVD players, Streaming A/V Data or multiplayer over internet and the need of producing more cost efficiently changed the HW design more and more to a PC like design. Somehow modern consoles recall strongly the design of laptops or compacts systems like the mac mini. The fact that CPU and GPU are oftentimes integrated into one single chip, point out this fact. Not to mention the hole Harddrive thing. But, even if the console gaming hardware has grown out of its single-purpose existence, it’s quite “small” variety of use-cases and defined hw (a ps3/xboy/wii-u is defined, you can’t change CPU/GPU a.s.o) makes it very easy to scale and optimize. So if you create a game for a defined platform you can squeeze more power out of its ingredients than when you create a game that needs to run on all the common pc hw. So if you would build a console with the top of the arts CPU/GPU wouldn’t bring much to it but make it way to expensive.
    Not much systems would be bought, thus the market would be to small for game developers, and then the cat bites it’s tail, no more consoles would be bought because the library is to small. If you need more info go ask sega.

    But now the point!
    The fact that the next-gen consoles, as the wii-u is, won’t experience much of a change in terms of usability and power, makes the fanboys sad. The wii-u shows what the future is and a lot of the boys can’t handle this. In a reaction to their shattered wet dreams of ultra high-end hardware in their next gaming system they try to upset the nintendo community. So keep cool and enjoy the new nintendo baby and its 3th party titles as well as nintendos own… and the complaining when sony and ms publish the their next-gen specs.

  20. What the fucky de fuck fuck, why did over 10 people say that a counsle like Ps4 or 720 could run on par or better than a Pc? Are you kids, an or just uberly fucking retarded?

    A counsle system’s capabilities an hardware is made first on a [Pc] (First) than from there, their tech is sold for what ever the Brand=Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo can {Afford} I repeat they will not have the money to replicate the exact same performance of the Pc, it is merely what is in there budget…in terms of power last years tech in a Pc will be greater than a Sony or microsoft performance even 4 years from now, because they cannot afford to buy the whole techno peices thats in the full capability’s of a Pc…something like a Ps4 will be performing of what the Pc shit out a few years ago, it is no where the whole capabilitys simply because they can only afford to buy bits an peices of the whole product.

    What is penned has nothing to do with power, it is upoun likability…leonardo, rapheal, an other artist centurys ago are probably the most detailed illistrations of all time, yet theres fucking playdo type 5th grader drawings that sell for higher, that are articulated more, tell a certain story better, detailed in perception of its own artistic-ness of understanding creativity, there is also a limit to presenting counter realistic art, once in its full form, then theres a fall out of what one processes as realistic, hense God of war, the graphics in how it is penned compared to its systems power has nothing to do, with it being superior to Nintendos Mario artistical value, Nintendo could replicate the pen-menship, yet as I said theres a limit where that can go.

    Not for now, or any where in the future, hence as I just stated look at the detailed graphics of some of the greeks top painters, today most or majority of the worlds greatest artist or even the future complitaions cant even match it, why is that? You’d think by time Human artistic value would be hundreds of thousands of times greater…is there any? Nope, an there never will be…am I saying Ps4 an later counsles along with Pc technology isint going to up-grade? No….of course there will be minor tweaks, but ultimately graphics has a stand off in art.

    The same way if you was to port a nintendo game of Finalfantasy 1 to a ps4…will it be 1000’s of times more meracules? Fuck no, it will be exactly the same, its the penminship of the artist for the game, as of right now all counsles can pump out a God of war game, but theres no sense, it still wont sell as good as another creativity implimention will provide, ergo, theres a limit on that as well.

    The Bottom line is, like the system for there own games, because power dosent mean jackshit, if it did, there would be no counsles, every one will own a Pc an only play a Pc, because certainly Ps3, wii, an xbox 360 was almost 5 years behind its own time Pc, the same way the next gens counsles is going to be 5 years behind todays Pc’s…an whats funny is simply because the world of technology for Pc’s grows monthly while the counsles only 6 years, Nintendo proved that likability, innovations, an fun fun fun…can beat Power…which again, dont even bother bringing up this bullshit that sony an microsoft can hold a fucking candle to Pc’s… if your going to brag on anything about your counsle, then brag about the quality of the games fun, not the power that all 3 lacks in.

    I owned all systems, of every jiondre, an I like all of the systems in what they bring to the table, I dont see any signifcance worth cry-ing or braging about, that would turn me away a get my vote, they all have there own artistic value an fun levels, so it will stay my opinion an upoun sales Nintendo does a better job in doing so, need I say more, Sony an microsft never tanked like Sega did, simply because they have other manufactured products they sold that they could dig there pockets in to pay the rent, while Nintendos franchise an life sustained soley on there Games, sure it branched out to other products but it still is on implimation of the original based Idea of there what? Games. Nuff said.

    Which compared to Nintendo “sales” the Ps3 an the Xbox 720 combined wasent even any where near the sales of the wii, so dont even try an compare the wii u, when you havent even matched the numbers yet or probably never will. The wii u will be on Godly status whe it comes out, an without any main home counsles to compete Sony an Microsoft better hurry the fuck up if they wanna still be in Buisness in terms of Games. lol
