IGN: Next xbox to be 20% more powerful than Wii U. October 2013.

Wii U will be the next gen PS2 confirmed.charizard1605

You mean the next xbox if this rumor is true.

ps2 was the luckiest console of all time. I dont think anyone will get that lucky for awhile.

ah ok.

I didn't keep in touch with the console wars last gen, so i don't know how each one stacked up in power. But I do remember GTA being under sony for awhile and that was the big thing that pulled people...ESPECIALLY san andreas

I'm confident that Nintendo would be smart enough to redesign the thing if they found significant comfort/usability issues with it during testing.

And if enough users complain, it will definitely get a redesign post-launch.

6670? That is low end gpu that is not meant for gaming. The 4870 which is rumored to be on the Wii U is better than the 6670.

ZombeGoast

Actually, the Wii U is rumored to have the same chip that's found in the 4890.

This is positive news for the home console industry. Keeping software development costs low makes for a healthier industry and games library in terms of risk taking.

IGN that has no idea about 720 or Wii hardware, is commenting on a random percent that they have no idea if it is correct, based on rumored specs for borh systems that may be 100% different than the actual hardware

20% ffs thats nothing...unless the wii u is actually pretty powerful, although having 6 times the power of a 6 year old piece of tech doesnt sound all that great tbh

my 7 year old file server has more power than that. :lol: Heil68

The Wii U's only hope from a developers stand point, is that the 720, or at least the PS4 releases out of the box with a touch screen controller. That way, developers will be forced to actually utilize it, rather than just chuck a map/inventory on it.D4W1L4H

I would bet money that this is exactly what happens with the majority of games, unfortunately. I'd love to see some creative use of the touchscreen on the controller, but the reality is that devs are more concerned with making a quick buck much of the time as opposed to innovating in any meaningful or substantial way.

But the Gpu on the rumor is said to be a 6670 on the next gen xbox. that is a weaker gpu than the gpu in the Wii U. So if this is true, then the next xbox will be the weakest out of the other consoles

DerekLoffin

In any case, my comparison still stands inasmuch as it is being used to compare the systems by the Big Three.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="ZombeGoast"]

DerekLoffin

Your point is?

I'm just hoping they don't ruin the thing with Kinect.

I am sure MS will make a console that will not any 2014 PC games at all

Sure thing

Sounds to me like one could get a Wii U and still get all of the games. I like!

Actually The Dreamcast had a better Gpu allowing it to have features the ps2 coudn't do. And the Emotion engine on the ps2 was complex.

So its weaker then a gpu I bought over 3 years ago lol and to think people where saying the new consoles would be 100 times stronger hardware then top end gpu's today.

6670? That is low end gpu that is not meant for gaming. The 4870 which is rumored to be on the Wii U is better than the 6670.

ZombeGoast

In 5 years(or maybe 2) people will be making threads here asking if PC had as much power as their consoles when they were new and saying that when consoles were new they had better graphics than PC and just for the record my LOW end gaming PC. Anyone who is a console gamer and doesn't know too much about PC but has one I urge you to just buy a Radeon HD 7770 when it is released and it will be far cheaper and superior to any of the next gen consoles.

Seriously though DX11 is really nice and that will be the focus there. The 1080p and 60 fps Wii U has said will be standard will be a nice jump for console fans.

So its weaker then a gpu I bought over 3 years ago lol and to think people where saying the new consoles would be 100 times stronger hardware then top end gpu's today.

DJ_Headshot

If it is that weak, i will indeed move to PC/PS4 gaming

That would be laughable, worst than WiiU too probably

And worst than Wii for its time of release as well

So its weaker then a gpu I bought over 3 years ago lol and to think people where saying the new consoles would be 100 times stronger hardware then top end gpu's today.

DJ_Headshot

Those people know nothing obviously. Anyone that has any amount of intelligence can comprehend that it is impossible for consoles to EVER release being equally/more powerful than current PCs.

360 was far more powerfull than 2005 best PC hardware

I am not sure people know what 20% more powerful means. When it comes to pure graphical output, 20% is a pretty big difference. And 6x more than 360? Think about that for a second.

If this thing comes in under $300 that is a pretty big jump. 20% is probably from Dreamcast to 360 quality......That is a significant upgrade.

It was not far more powerful. It was slightly more powerful and it didn't use that power at all. then PC soon caught back up and I don't think a console could ever pass it out again. The tech is just too strong in PCs nowadays and its more affordable than ever

WarTornRuston

If PC today is 70x more powerfull than 360, then 6x is not that good

I read a rumor that 720 will indeed use AMD 7000 series cores, but an array of 64 of them

That means 20% * 64 = 1280% more powerfull than WiiU actually

So they GPU they're using will be a 2 year old entry level GPU? :lol:

Only 20% Look's like PS4 is going to be most powerful next GEN.

If true, it doesn't shock me at all. I've always believed next gen was gonna be a conservative jump.

As far as SW goes, if this turns out to be about right, then we can put the "Is PC next gen?" arguments to bed and start the "how many gens ahead?" debate!

Only 20% Look's like PS4 is going to be most powerful next GEN.

ReviewerDrake

And that will be their downfall (if the leap is significant)

PSP

PS3

PSV

What do these three consoles all have in common? a) power b) poor sales

Well... I guess we can speculate and dream all we want. The PS4 could be 10%-30% or a billion times more, but... I must admit, I think next generation, we're going to really see a small "gap" that only pixel hunters will bother to worry about. I think it will happen because most games will now be multiplat. With WiiU, Xbox 720, and PS4 more likely going to be within a range that's no different from one another, unless talented devs spend more time fixing on those little differences or exclusives show off that power, we'll see really no "difference" between these games. That extra power may be for smoother framerate, shorter load times, possibly better aliasing, or something of that sort. We'll hardly see any game differ on visual effects, polygon counts, and the rest.yoshi_64

Yeah all the console guys should calm down because they won't get that kind of huge leap in graphics again this time around. I just hope the consoles finally do 1080p natively and no more upscaling or anything like that. 1080p was overrated to me before I got my PC, I was so very wrong. Its miles better

Funny how all the console guys said stuff like AA and res didn't matter and counting frames is stupid when the new consoles will bring all these things and they will all change their minds then :P

So much for beating PCs, where's loosingENDs now?

I am not sure people know what 20% more powerful means. When it comes to pure graphical output, 20% is a pretty big difference. And 6x more than 360? Think about that for a second.

LOL

70x more powerful? More like 9x or something around it.

I am where all my favourite games are

If that is PC next gen, i will move to PC

The fact that i find 360 perfect this gen, does not mean i will find 720 the same if it is weak and looses all the perks or 360 like amazing WRPGs-JRPGs, great looking multipltforms, best multiplat versions on consoles etc
