720 is obviously gonna be the beast next gen, but it's funny that the WiiU will be the most powerful for a couple years. Will SWs graphics whores shift to WiiU? I mean the ones that don't care to buy a PC rig.

The WiiU will be the downfall of Nintendo ! No 3rd party support for who knows which generation.

Pretty sure all major 3rd parties are behind it, and theres some games being prepped to be ported over to the WiiU that are actually pretty big players.

The Most I've heard people talking about WiiU was the Controller.

You mean those "360 level" specs? Someone over at GAF kindly did the math for Such a device: 1400mm^2 just for 768MB eDRAM @45nm. Obviously fake.

groverslanding

So a console that doesn't even exist for now, that we know NOTHING about, will be the best console next gen?

Really, has the intellect in the forums fallen so low?

I can't take a thread seriously if it starts like that.

LOL. I can see realistically see people touting the Wii U's superior hardware for the next year or so. I still hope that Nintendo ups the hardware before E3; with their "final showing" and all

I think we'll definitely discuss it more, but I doubt highly it'll turn us into graphics based fanboys. I mean, look at last gen. The GC had probably the best graphics, and even if you don't accept that, no one can say it wasn't at least on par with the PS2 and the Xbox. After that, none of us really started to care about graphics as the sole part of games. All you'll be hearing is one of 2 things:

1. Zelda looks amazing in HD (maybe Mario as well)

2. Threads designed to tick off lems and cows (which are not to be taken as our actual feelings).

Oh yes. As soon as I get my hands on that mofo I'm going to just assume that anything I play on there will look better than PC.

Flip flopping on philosophy is the system wars way. Fanboys will brag about their systems best features and downplay the relevance of the worst.

It's sort of sad if you think about it. The fact that we can't bend backwards and admit that there's something wrong with a system when there clearly is. I speak of all of them; Microsoft's lack of exclusives, Sony's inability to gain traction even though they have good content and Nintendo's ailing online and lacking third party support.

LOL. Gameplay is more important. Even though I play games primarily on the PC, I still believe that graphics capability is overrated as far as being conducive to a better gameplay experience.

Gameplay IS more important but my point is, YOU CAN and should get both. Fugly graphics decrease *fun* and the game is less enjoyable=worse gameplay.

I know there is no way in hell I'm taking Graphics over gameplay. Why do you think I still game Nintendo? It's all about Quality.

You don't need to take anything over something because most of the times a game with grat gameplay has good graphics (on current gen system, not the wii). TW2-Batman AC-BF3 as a random example. On the Wii this cannot be said because everything looks ugly but some (very little amount) of games has great gameplay like SMG.

I've just always gamed on control and gameplay. Graphics never meant anything to me personally. To me, they don't affect my experience with a game.

I'm with Silversix on this one, sometimes the graphix really help the gameplay in a small way..well for me that is. And I doubt I'll turn into a graphix whore since I know PS4 and Xbox720 will be coming out soon.

Wii:U wishes it can pump out graphics but knowing Nintendo...
They would save costs to make more profit.

As in slap a new paint job on an old car and sell like its new to the masses... hence more money.
So the tech I highly doubt will be visually impressive as games that are maximised on PC.
Its only going to be slightly better than the PS3 and 360, a 5/6 year old console.

It will be somewhat already outdated before its even released going by the leaked specs.

And PC will dominate the Wii:U

Nintendo trying to make money!? What!? And no, those "leaked specs you're referring to would be physically impossible and would require the system to be 1400mm^2. According to neogaf

You can't even know what direction MS will take with this. They seem to be focusing on casuals as of lately. But pretend for a minute I believe your crystal ball, the 720 would be shooting itself in the foot. It's power would only be being held back by Wii U and PS4 :P

The Wii U specs aren't final and you have no idea where PS4 and 720 will be heading with the console. For all we know, it might just stay the same and go completely casual. This is all pure speculation and to be taken like a grain of salt. Only fact is PC will be supreme in terms of horsepower fa sho
