Theres nothing wrong with using WIFI if your internet is half decent.
I was downloading a movie on my pc and playing gears 3 at the same time,and i never lagged once. If you are lagging,its either your,or someone elses upload speed is rubbish.
Saying that though they should at least put an ethernet port on there.

The original WII didnt really interest me,as im a 'hardcore' gamer,whatever that means.
But the Wii U has really got my interest peaked,the controller looks awesome and it certainly looks very capable on the graphics front.
I never played twilight princess,or hardly any Wii games for that matter cos i refused to play them in 480p which lets be honest looks pretty rubbish on a 1080 lcd screen.
Im really interested in the Nintendo store,redone/remade/upscaled classics are what will drive it imo.
REmake (resident evil remake,Gamecube) in HD please with achievements!

#97915 Guess the Specs

To put that into perspective, the cube was roughly 8x more powerful than the ps2.
Honestly,where do some of you guys get your 'info' from?
The GC had as far as i can remember,48mb ram vs PS2's 32mb.
The GC had a slightly faster GPU.
Its CPU was dubbed 'Gekko' and ran @485mhz,vs 300mhz on PS2.
How that equates to 8x as poweful ill never know. Link to source or GTFO.
On topic:
Tri or quad cpu,2.5-3.0ghz,2 threads per core.
2GB ram.
AMD 6670. (not 6770)
The rest is already confirmed,the specs i stated above are the most important for graphics/processing performance.
#94787 About the power of the Wii U

Hi all,ive been following this site for about a month,and tbh some of the people posting about the Wii u's specs have me quite amused.
First off,everyone keeps banging on about the CPU inside the console,saying its not as powerful/is/ or isnt a match for the 360.
Can i just say a CPU does not need to be stupidly fast,its mainly the system RAM and GPU that bottlenecks the CPU. (at least in console history)
Lets get this straight: XBOX 360 CPU is 3.2ghz,tri core,with 6 threads total. When it was first released,it was a 90nm design,it was stupidly hot even PC's were running higher ghz with better more efficient technology.
Nowadays M$ has got it to 45nm,it runs cooler,more efficient,but its still the same cpu,and do you hear ANYONE complaining about its performance?
Even M$ have stated its mainly the system RAM/V-RAM and GPU processing that are the main bottlenecks.
That was like 7 years ago. So thats is an ice age in PC terms,and you know what?.....CPU's have come a long way. Even if the Wii-U's cpu is 'only' 2.9ghz,it WILL still outperform the 360 and most certainly the PS3 because its simply got more efficient clock cycles plus advances in cache etc etc.
How do you think they can squeeze a tri/quad core into a little box like that and not be fast/efficient?
And a educated guess will tell me the GPU will be a 6670,which is quite a bit inferior to a 6770. But thats another story.. Cheers.
And also,the 360 and PS3 have a total of 512mb ram,split between system and gpu respectively.
If the Wii-U does actually have 1.5gb ram shared,that is a HUGE increase and rest assured will demolish 360 and PS3.
And if its 2GB? Even better.
Lastly id like to state im no fanboy,i did own a wii and sold it,i also had a ps3 on 2 occasions and sold them both. I am a 360 gamer currently,but im definetily getting a Wii-U because i see the huge potential it has.
