*SIGH* you know guys...this isn't rocket science. Just because the clockspeed may be lower, doesn't mean the CPU is going to be weaker than the Cell or Xenon. ANd some of you sound like you think this means that the clock speed is now going to be only like 2 Ghz. As I am sure most of you know, the clockspeeds of the Xenon(360 CPU) and the Cell(PS3 CPU) is 3.2 Ghz. If the Wii U CPU clockspeed really is lower, than its probably 3.0 Ghz, a measly .2 difference. Besides, the CPU will easily make up for it in other areas, such as multithreading. The CPU is either a Tri-Core or Quad-Core Power7 based processor, which can support up to 4 threads per core. However, Nintendo is likely to lower the amount of threads per core. Even then, it will still be better. The 360 and PS3 support 6 threads of code.

Even if the CPU is a Tri-Core, it can do 3 0r 4 threads per core, meaning it can support 9-12 threads. Heck, if Nintendo is using Quad-Core and does 2 threads per core, that is 8 threads, which is still higher than what 360 and PS3 can do. SO with Wii U, you are essentially looking at 8-12 threads of code for Wii U. And its a given that Wii U will have more RAM than 360 and PS3. We are most likely taking 32 MB of eDRAM and 1.5 GB of unified RAM(although .5 will likely be reserved for OS but still.) And the GPU will have a minimum clockspeed of 600 Mhz compared to the 500 Mhz clock of the 360 and the 550 Mhz clock of the PS3, Even Crytek, a dev team who are big on specs, said Wii U is minimum as powerful as the current HD twins. So despite a lower CPU clock, its pretty clear that Wii U still has better hardware than 360 and PS3

Sorry about the first part, but this really iclockspeed thing really isn't a big deal and it certainly doesn't mean the Wii U is weak.

Update: It seems that the “next generation of gaming” that Geoff Keighley may have been speaking about is the Unreal Engine 4 from Epic  Games. GTTV will be doing an exclusive unveiling of the engine near the end of E3 2012.

And yes, it was confirmed that there would be no PS4 or no Xbox 3 at this years E3. So that should mean, UE4 is on Wii U (because PC doesn't work with generations). Or they are just showing the engine running on something else... Please let it come to the Wii U. It's something Nintendo really needs.

For me, it's a Love/Hate relationship with Sony. And the love is not even that much, but with games like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, they amaze me, but when they get cocky and use the "Bad Boy" attitude it makes me want to throw my PlayStation 2 out the window.
Jack Tretton is an Idiot and really needs to be more professional in the way he states his OPINION.
