So some Wii U spec leaks start looking very likely....

[QUOTE="PandaBear86"][QUOTE="razgriz_101"]

remember its a console, lower memory footprints and less background tasks on the go means you dont need as much running at once.

It will allow for external HD connectivity tho.

[QUOTE="PandaBear86"] The Wii U does not even have a hard drive, meaning it will probably stream game data much slower than the 360 or PS3 (unless the optical drive is super-fast). Hard drive caching makes it easier to work with less RAM, so I feel unsure about this.PandaBear86

What about SD cards? They're pretty cheap these days.

Thats weak. USB cable is lower than SATA, and not everybody will have HDDs, which means that developers will assume that their general audience will not have them and will not optomise for hard drives at all. Hard to believe a console in 2012 without a hard drive.PandaBear86

Nothing about the Wii-U is finalized, just so you know.

Mods, I would like for you to know that Keva necro'd this thread and then deleted his post. Please ban him, he's already been banned under two other accounts, and contributes nothing meaningful to this forum.

Get over your butthurt. I found this necro amusing.

Did these specs turn out to be accurate?

Anyone know?

Everything except for the RAM (Wii U has 2GB of RAM instead of 768 MB); the CPU is also a bit weaker, IIRC.
