This is good!! This is very good for Nintendo! And here's why..
Sony and Microsoft have become over confident with their tech jumps in regards to nintendos. Which is crazy as it only started last gen. So it's going to be fun when they see wii u is stronger than they thought

In terms of graphics he might be right.

Don't forget how much power that Wii U Gamepad takes to run.

The other thing he has forgotten is that the Wii U doesn't appear to be suffering from any kind of straight port. Seems to be a similar fate to the PSVita as well (Virtua Tennis 4, Disgaea 3 and UMvC3 to name a few). His idea of the Wii U receiving ports is probably in the perspective that the Wii U is getting direct ones.

That, and 360 has no Mario.

Of course since it's a Microsoft official he's going to be biased.

Well he was saying that 360 familiar gamers could play the Wii U ports (I don't like that word) with the "360 similar" Pro controller.

The Wii U as powerful as an Xbox 360? Lol, no. Why would Nintendo go out of their way to use 2006 tech?

However, I am surprised that the guy did compliment Nintendo about how they're setting the Wii U up to be.

I see what you did there.

Let's see what Microsoft can bring with the 720.

I felt like this guy was trying to be more positive than negative towards Nintendo, I mean, he even said that Xbox360 player could enjoy the Wii U because of the Pro Controller!

What he should've said was "360 gamers could play with the controller thats similar to the dreamcast or gamecube controller"..... Microsoft acting like they invented that controller design ...smh

According to MS, Wii U is not more powerful then Xbox 360. So guys, sorry to say it, but we now have official word that the Wii U is not even current gen 1.5. Its basically current gen.

Microsoft is scurred, bro. They're trying to downhype the WiiU so people will buy the SmartGlass.

That could only mean one thing...Microsoft has a dev kit and will support the Wii U lol.

No but really nobody should take what Microsoft says about the Wii U's power seriously.
