Worried about Wii U specs....Comparisons explained in extreme detail ....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcnsG11MRE8&feature=g-all-lik&context=G2a4e5a3FAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm not a tech spec expert but this guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about. I've disregarded all rumours after i heard this. I hope ppl can have uninterupted sleeps from now on....

Thoughts/Feedback...?

Don't listen to anyone. Know one knows jack right now. Just rest assured that you will have Mario and Zelda in HD. Thats all i care about anyway :P If you want graphics get a PC. That way you get the best of both worlds

There is nothing to worry about. Wii U will be significantly more powerful than PS3/Xbox 360 and powerful enough for most (if not all) next-gen engines.

i just think ppl are taking all these rumours about Wii U being less capable than current gen consoles as facts. I know most true gamers care about gameplay over graphics but these days..... too many pplare graphics whores who worry about numbers rather than the actual experience, but it's an interesting and informative vid if you can get your head around half of what he's saying...

Nice to see how everyone whos posted actually watched the video:roll:GulliversTravel

Most ppl in those videos are crazy mang (if ur the guy in the video, then i was just joking) :P

No idea what the specs will be. This dude knows what he is talking about however no proof this is going to be whats in the box.

rumors are rumors

The was the most redundant, boring ass video I've watched this whole year.

It really didn't need to be 13 minutes, with the jackass restating everything he said twice.

Why isn't anyone listening to developers with their names out in the public like Randy Pitchford saying its much more powerful? bonesawisready5

I don't understand people who think the wiiu is going to be some monster power house. I expect it to bee a slightly better PS3/360. And I'm ok with that.

Ok, that was a good, detailed comparison. But I thought it was only confirmed that IBM and AMD are supplying the CPU and GPU, not exactly which ones the Wii U's will be based on, like the guy in the video claims? I wouldn't be surprised though. I wouldn't say it's a big leap forward, but probably enough for most game to be 1080p for example.

This video is useless because it claims the Wii U will have a Radeon HD 4850 and Quad Core Power 7 CPU. If that's true then it will be much more powerful than the 360 and PS3.

However, no one has confirmed what will be in the Wii U. For all we know the Wii U could have a gimped 4000 series GPU and a stripped down Power 7 CPU. If that's the case then it could be a piece of crap that can't keep up with the HD twins.

This video doesn't clear sh*t up. And yes it was annoying him repeating everything 5 times and not really doing a good job of explaining how an HD 4770 is better than the trash in the 360 and PS3.

1) the box for wii is pretty small 2)has to stream to controller 3)has not shown one thing that says its better than current gen.killzowned24

This is smaller.

ATI Radeon HD 4550/4570 would be under ATI Xenos, while ATI Radeon HD 4650 would be above ATI Xenos.

Skyrim on Radeon HD 4570

Anybody that actually knows the Wii-U specs isn't going to make a god damn YouTube video about it.

He's reading a spec list. I don't get that he knows what any of that means.

Why is he comparing an X1800XT to a 4470? When ati said the xenos was similar, I think they meant the output, but the architectures aren't the same, but he'll continue with his comparisons. :?

The problem were going to have next gen is if hardware is too powerfull, and peoples expectations are too high; developing costs will increase. Meaning cost of games will increase. If the WiiU is weak its not really an issue to developers if it has a good adoption rate and offers all the features next gen devs want (more ram, touchscreen etc).

I think Microsoft and Sony are holding fire so they can see what standards Nintendo set.

The Sheep have been boasting for a while about the WiiU, and now the signs are that it doesn't actually look like it will be much more powerful than the current gen (and in some estimates, weaker) we're back to "graphics don't matter."

If that was remotely true they wouldn't have put out new consoles all this time. The difference between a NES and a SNES? Graphics. N64 and SNES? Graphics. Gamecuce and N64? graphics. I appreciate the wii tacked on a lamentable gimmick which promised something it didn't deliver (1:1 motion) but it was still the same old franchises dressed up in a fancy new suit.

So now we get another console. Rumours are its behind the times. No one has confirmed this, but it's looking likely. And we're back to "yes but Nintendo has the first party" and "graphics don't matter". Well, if you're happy with Nintendo's first party imagine how much money they could have saved you all this time if they just stuck their games on the one console? The N64 could have had periodical updates with hardware gimmicks for those who choose to motion control or have a two screen system.

I can tell you now, graphics matter to me. I haven't been buying these new consoles and PC all these years dreaming about fresh ways to waggle a remote around a room. I want games of the future to be ultra realistic, ultra beautiful, to be vivid and jaw dropping. I also want them to be playable and with well written plots in circumstances where that is called for. But I don't see why I should limit myself to just playability. I want it all. Games like RDR and crysis, these are the games which have really accomplished something.

HD is 1080p and up. Wii U will not do that.

that was quite an impressive analysis, hope MS and Sony have people that can gauge the competition like that when it comes to how they design their systems, heck I might actually get a Wii U now just to play some multiplats while I wait for the other next gen consoleslamprey263

Well then Teufelhuhn, tell us! I think you can drop your mop and vacuum to explain the power of the Wii-U :P

A lot of people just like to see the negative rumors about the WIi-U without knowing anything about specs. The rumor spec of the 720 and Orbis has a weaker GPU than the Wii-U.

Oh and for the record the power7 chip is pretty much confirmed to be in the Wii U: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=432969com2006

A link to a forum or a blog or anything like that isn't confirmation of anything. That's the problem with this video. He's debunking rumors with more rumors.

Ok that video was worthless

That is nice to know that at least we don't have to be worried about the Wii U's possible specs are at least more powerful than current gen consoles. I already know it'll be the weakest of the 3 next gen as Microsoft and Sony are waiting to see what Nintendo's confirmed specs are before trying to improve on them with their own consoles. It won't bother me as a Nintendo console with better graphics than this gen will still look pretty frikkin epic.

Just some dumb youtube vieo, he doesn't know anything. But the WiiU is getting Blu Ray which means it will get bigger games! And Blu Ray gives devs more room on the disc to add more graphic details and textures ect...I hope it has a good free online service too. I'm really excited about the WiiU.
