http://www.videogamer.com/wiiu/scribblenauts_unlimited/news/wii_u_is_definitely_more_powerful_than_360_and_ps3_scribblenauts_dev.html

So now that's

Crytek
Valve
Gearbox
5th Cell

That have all said the same thing.





Gabe Newell ?Wii U seems to be a lot more powerful than the previous generation"

http://nintendoeverything.com/68124/valve-wii-u-appears-to-be-more-powerful-than-last-gen-fits-into-our-scalability/


Crytek CEO: Wii U hardware is "minimum on par with the current generation."

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/354624/crytek-estimates-wii-u-is-minimum-as-powerful-as-xbox-360/


Gearbox: Wii U is a true next-gen console and will provide the best looking version of Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Now let the stupidity flow forth as some of you attempt to twist this all.

Ubisoft said similar things about the Wii U when talking about AC3. Some article a few months ago from computerandgames.com I think.

Of course the WiiU is more powerful, how much more powerful is what I'm interested in and my bet, not alot. I assume the PS2 is like the HD twins and the gamecube is the WiiU in terms of power difference ?

That there's even the slightest doubt that a console launching late 2012 has more powah than a 7 year old console doesn't bode well for Wii U. :?

That said, I'm 999% sure the Wii U is indeed more powerful than the current gen consoles. :P

Certainly it will be more powerful, but the question is how powerful does it need to be? What happens if the next PS and XBOX are on par with the WiiU? SW would completely implode. The rumored specs in WiiU are in a vacuum until the othe rent gen consoles come out.

Of course it's going to be more powerful than the the current gen consoles. No console will ever be as powerful as the Dreamcast, that is a confusing statement. Any idea how much money Sony lost before getting any profit out of their super powerful expensive hardware? They are picking up speed but from a business perspective that's a hard thing to sell to shareholders and risky. Nintendo is being smart about all this, I feel they will do well.

Since the controller will cost a lot, Nintendo can't sell at a loss and the price won't be over 350$ its pretty much guaranteed the WiiU will be weak as ****. If not, nice.

I'd be highly disappointed if WiiU wasnt more powerful than 360 & PS3 considering these 2 systems launched back in 2005 & 2006

Because Nintendo is aiming at casuals as much as they're (and probably more) core gamers. You think a soccer mom or some granny will spend 450$ on something that looks EXACTLY like the wii but in a black? No. It won't be over 349.99. A console that was made to play last gen ports cannot cost more anyways.

The good news is now Nintendo players can have 7 year old tech and finaly play ports of old games.

Call of duty MW Xmas 2012

Call of duty WoW Xmas 2013

Call of duty MW2 Xmas 2014

Call of duty BO Xmas 2015

Great time to be a Nintendo fan. And they can look at their controler to see how much ammo they have left. Thats something you PS3 and xboxers never had. Just think of sneaking up on a guy looking at his controler not the tv and knifing the poor sheep. Then he rage quits and throws his $99 controler at the wall.

I think everyone expects it to be more powerful than 7 year old consoles, but how much more powerful is the real question and will it keep up with 720, Ps4 etc.

Wrong. Xbox is more powerful than wii. Show me one game on the wii that is graphically superior to Conker, Black or Ninja Gaiden Black. You cant, because nothing has been released on the wii yet that surpasses those games. Therefore xbox is more powerful.

That is more sure than 100% sure. That is in fact, 9.99 times, greater than 100% certain. Just to be clear about how certain you are...

Wii was more powerful, but did not show it.The Wii had more ram,a slightly lowered clocked CPU and a better GPU.The Wii could also produce cleaner SD games then the xbox even though it couldn't support 720P and programmable shaders.

It should absolutely be more powerful. The fact that it's competition is 7 year old consoles and we even have to speculate whether it actually is more powerful is the problem. When MS/Sony release consoles it will once again be obvious that Nintendo released a gimmicky, underpowered piece of trash. Being more powerful than a 7 year old machine is not an accomplishment, it should be an assumption.

It's because the Xbox had a resolution advantage while the Wii didn't.The xbox wasted more power when it ran a game at 720P.And i heard doom 3 ran below 480P.:lol:

And yet the console has some hardware in it that isn't 7 years old, but is 1 or 2.

And your point is? Wii still had great games. Well worth my $250. I played Chrono Trigger on the virtual console recently. Despite not having face-melting graphics, it managed to be one of the best RPGs I've played in a long time.

Wii is more powerful than Xbox on paper. However, it never showed this in practice.

We don;t know how powerful the console is so stop comparing it to current gen consoles.

More news.....and the Wii it was more powerful than PS2/XBOX....mind blown...lol

Wrong. Xbox is more powerful than wii. Show me one game on the wii that is graphically superior to Conker, Black or Ninja Gaiden Black. You cant, because nothing has been released on the wii yet that surpasses those games. Therefore xbox is more powerful.

Wrong The Wii uses the PowerPc Processor. This processor is stronger than the Xbox's Pentium 3 Processor Super Mario galaxy, Last Story, Darkside Chronicles, Metroid Prime 3 etc. all look better than those Xbox games
