#136716 Wii U 'Has A Horrible, Slow CPU' Says Metro Last Light Dev

Have you even read about the PS4/nextbox rumors? Other than power they sound stupid. So I think the Big N is safe.
Rumours are just that, rumours. This Wii U is a very risky move and releasing now means it has to fight for a market share during two console generations. Launching a console a year ahead of the competition, with less power than the competition and relying on more unconventional features to differentiate yourself in the market is a risky strategy. It paid off for Nintendo with the Wii but that was in a very different economic climate and with an industry in a very different place. Furthermore, in a year's time the Wii U isn't just going to be fighting against the new consoles, but against the Wii's reputation which was soured towards the end of its life. There's a section of the Wii owning market that felt marginalised in the last generation and they'll be more cautious this time and so all Microsoft and Sony really need to do to win over that demographic is promise a steady supply of mainstream, modern games.

THQ aint in the position to be picky. The Wii U seems to be a profitable train to ride on and if THQ doest want to cash in on it so its THQ's loss and perhaps their eventual death.
It is right now but that might not be the case for long. Nintendo has been pretty clever in getting the jump on the competition like this, but AAA titles can take years to develop well. THQ might miss out for a year, but the truth is that the Wii U is something of a gamble, and nobody knows where Nintendo will be in 2014. I can think of another console that launched a year before the competition, did very well for a bit and then died, taking the whole hardware division of its parent company with it.

#140733 Wii U clock speeds are found by marcan

But that wasn't even a clock while running a game. It's not it's actual clock speed. Even of it is, though, the GPU is meant to help the CPU. So again, you are aspect and blowing it to be a bigger deal.
It's not an idle clock rate, he says that a few tweets after OP stopped quoting. If he's right, and there's very little to doubt him for, that's the full clock speed of the chip.

i actually work for Amazon, i am about to go to my desk in the next few hours and i may be able to give you an update on when we will start shipping them. As of Sunday we only had Zombiu Sets in and no basics or deluxe. Hopefully it wont be a mess like Black Ops 2, A few thousand people got it a day late :/ but then again there was way more copies. I know somebody said at Amazon about not shipping until Wednesday night at the earliest to ensure they dont get delivered early.
Any updates would be much appreciated. Going to such lengths to make sure they don't arrive early seems strange. I know Friday is release day and they don't want to upset Nintendo, but it doesn't seem to be much of a problem for ShopTo. I'm pretty sure they do it on purpose.
Not that I mind. I've had a lot of good experience with Amazon and so long as I get it on release day, I've nothing to complain about. I suppose they don't really need to worry about differentiating themselves from the competition, they are the competition.

I guess, I actually got my bundle for £160 because of staff discount and a voucher i had so i thought it was a decent deal.
Oh yeah, I know it's not going to be the same for everybody. I was on a really tight budget so close to Christmas too so that factored in. I don't think either is a particularly bad choice, it just depends on how much good £50 is to you.
My Amazon.co.uk order just bumped up to "Dispatching Soon."
Excitement!

I wanted a white one but i thought it was a better deal buying the black since it came with more memory and a game
The black one just didn't seem worth it to me. A game I wasn't hugely interested in, storage I'll need to expand anyway, a discount/loyalty scheme that's dependent on my spending £50-£60 on eShop purchases for £5 off and a sensor bar I can just take from the Wii. Might as well pay £50 less and get NintendoLand, USB HDD and spare sensor bar over the next couple of years as I need them.

Now, as you all know, Professor Nintendo's Fantabulous Wee-ooh Gaming Machine ™ arrives at the White Cliffs of Dover within a week. To celebrate this remarkable state of affairs, I am introducing this thread for the rest of us charming Gentlemen to discuss the impending launch. Feel free to keep us updated on deliveries, stock issues, UK Wii U news and even excitement when it finally arrives. Nothing too vulgar, if you please. At the end of the whole sordid affair, we can tidy up and swap NNIDs.
I'll get the kettle on.

Just thought I would mention there's a pinned topic in this forum where everyone's already been trading NNIDs its highly convenient as a list of NNIDs has been compiled there. Also other PAL territories such as Australia et al will be getting the Wii U come the 30th so would be cool to hear their Wii U stories aswell
Compiled NNID thread is good, will hunt it down. We should still have a regional list though since I quite enjoy playing games with people who are awake at the same time as me.
P.S The Aussies can join this thread if AND ONLY IF they stop beating us at cricket.
Is there Jam?
Yes. But the Bees have got into it!

Ahh... so it Bee Strawberry jam with no sugar but added Bee.... I assume for sweetness. Second thoughts I'll have a salmon & cucumber sarnie
Good choice, sir.
So, are you waiting for your Wii U?

I live near Leeds and went to my local Game store (White Rose) to have a quick play with there demo unit. Must admit it was Fantastic. Found out whilst i was there that they are not having a midnight launch. They are going to open up at 7.00am instead
Just had 2 e-mails come through from ShopTo on my i-phone 2 minutes ago. My Assassins Creed 3 pre order is now being processed. Looks like everything will be with me for Friday. The anticipation is killing me now
That's my local Game too! I live in Morley. They never have midnight launches because it would necessitate keeping the whole centre open.

It's a small world illogicology. Maybe have to swap gamertags if your getting wiiu?
Yeah, with any luck Amazon will have mine to me on launch day. Doubt it'll be early. Only problem is that my budget won't stretch to many games, grabbing NSMBU and even that isn't likely to turn up on time.

I agree the only reason I preordered with game is £500 store credit from previous trade-in's
Ooh, nice.
My only concern now is delivery. I'm on leave anyway so I'm not going to miss it, but if Amazon send my Parcel with Yodel again then I just might cry.

Yep Indeed, I have mine ordered with a local GAME store, sadly I have a lazy @ss manager who wont open at midnight....The nerve of it
Oh noes!
I have gone with Amazon. I know it's not as exciting as the midnight launch, but I like to save for stuff like this in Amazon vouchers and I had about £75's worth built up when pre-orders opened so it was silly to go elsewhere.
