Anyone saying Wii U is going to be below par in power is very ignorant.

Let's face it, Wii U is all but guaranteed to be more powerful than the 360 and PS3. Nintendo themselves promised last E3 that the Wii U will be powerful. Plus, remember the tech demos at E3? I don't see any consoles games that can get anywhere near that Zelda demo in graphical quality. Plus, many developers such as Crytek have praised the Wii U's capabilities. Plus, the 720 is probably gonna be the next generation Wii. It will probably be pretty weak and aimed at casual gamers, even more so than the Wii was. PS4 might be different, but we really have no evidence of anything. Also, the is no named source that has said that the Wii U is weak. Only so called "anonymous sources" have been referenced when claims are made that the Wii U is weaker than current gen consoles. I think it is pretty safe to say that the Wii U will be a true next gen console. However, we should wait til E3 before making any guarantees.

It's almost imposible to make the console weaker then the HD twins.Ninty would have to try really hard to do that.

No, ignorant because they deny trustworthy evidence and try to use their "anonymous" sources to try to prove their points so they can go on living in their blissful clouds of ingorance where Xbox and PlayStation win the system wars.

When Nintendo says its going to be a next gen console it will be a next gen console.

Nobody knows the specs yet so it isn't 'ignorant' but rather 'uniformed' but I do find it funny how people are so quick to ridicule Nintendo when they were the ones who did the motion controls calling it a 'hype and then as soon as Sony and MS do their own form then ti is considered normal.

DOUBLE STANDARDS

It will be "current-gen perfected" (better CPU, more RAM, DX10.1 or DX11 capable GPU, tablet controller). Won't prevent it from selling the best, tho.

I don't think we can pencil in the Wii U just yet as being a top seller. Most of the "casual" gamers (such as my mom who picked it up for wii fit lol) have no interest in purchasing a Wii U. Nintendo is going to have to choose a nice price point to make people interested or people will just pass it by.

On topic, I agree with you in that it will be a "current-gen perfected" console that relies on the tablet controller as it's gimmick. Depending on how the controller is utilized (not just removing HUD from the tv) Nintendo could be on to something. I'm also interested to see how Nintendo prices the games.

I honestly think you should game on a high-end PC instead of a console if you want top quality graphics.

You're not. We've seen much better graphics on current consoles and this is supposed to be next gen.

Anyone thinking the Wii:U will be BETTER than PC, 720 and PS4 has lost the plot.

That Zelda demo compared to Gears of War 3, Halo 3, Killzone 3 (all in game), is not really impressive unless you love Zelda.

And my PC makes it look outdated already.
Unreal 4 will show why Nintendo is the WORST in terms of hardware and power.

[QUOTE="fadersdream"] Why am I the only person not impressed with these jaggy lines, and outdated texture models? All I can think when I see this is "pretty good... for Nintendo" Nintendo only survives because people compare Nintendo to Nintendo, and that it's seen as Apples and Oranges to compare wii games to PS3/360 games.HarlockJC

Anyone thinking that the PS4, or Xbox 720 would be largely more powerful than Wii U will be in for a big disappointment. Even Epic themselves have admitted that the specs for those consoles are very weak.

first Xbox games like Halo 2 and Far Cry look better than most Wii games even though the Wii came out like 4 years later and it has more Ram and stuff.

I guess that would make Monlyneux ingorant then.

no one man can have all that power

We already know that.

Wii U is a good bit more powerful.

• First party games (certain games) will blow away 360/PS3.
• 3rd party multiplats will look about the same.

First of all, nothing Nintendo has shown so far - NOTHING - has made me think that the Wii U will be more powerful than current gen. Sorry, but that Zelda tech demo (no actual evidence it was anything more than a video. Remember the video they showed for the GC Zelda which ended up being the cell shaded wind waker instead?) And it didn't look any better than God of War 3, UNcharted 2 or Gears of War or Mass Effect, etc. So I don't know what you are talking about with this "better than current gen" garbage. If it was more powerful than current gen then why are all the "big" games announced by third parties pretty much just ports?

Meanwhile, let's assume you are correct and the Wii U is more powerful than current gen. It means nothing if the Nintendo curse continues and third party devs mostly only povide a token, half-arsed effort. Or if all the games are kiddy garbage as usual. Hell, look at the Wii as the perfect example. Supposed to be more powerful than the GC and yet what did Nintendo do? PUt out games like Wii sports, Wii party, Wii music, etc which look worse than most N64 games even. And considering 90% of the tech demos they showed in the past were more "Mii" games and party-style games that will still cost $50 but look like something from 20 years ago, all the power in the world is pointless.

in regards tyo those zelda shots.. i am not impressed such things were done in TECH DEMO's FROM 2006 by amd on an HD 2900 XT!!!

in short you need only to have minor amounts of more graphical horsepower in order to do what those zelda shots have shown us. you no believe? here.

see unimpressive..

you want to see what current gen apu + low end graphics can do?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fzkHGch12c&feature=related

its really a comparison between a drawing of a child in preschool and the mona lisa.

Nintendo has more money now than they did around the end of last gen. They wanted to try something different this gen by using motion controls. They should be able to make a new console with a good amount of power in it.

With the Wii U they will focus on motion controls, the tablet controller, older gamers, 3rd party support and the Wii U's graphics. Then they'll have a better reputation than they do now. Nintendo has a plan. The Wii U will be great.

Anyone caring enough to make yet another thread defending the yet to be released WiiU is a nerd.AlphaJC

That looks good but in all honesty thats exactly what a Zelda game would look like if it was on the PS3 or 360. Thats nothing current consoles couldnt handle.

Think. Why would they say that the PS4 & Xbox 720 needs more power for Unreal Engine 4, but not Wii U? It's pretty obvious.

LOL, sheep thinking WiiU will take advantage of tha powar!!!

GC says hi.....and most 3rd party devs said bye bye and went the PS2 and XBOX route :lol:

Sorry, I just honestly don't see 3rd parties licking Nintendo's ass because of teh Powar!!

All I see next gen is MS and Sony battling each other for the core gamers. WiiU simply stands by itself for the other crowd. What type of crowd? Who the phukc knows?
