Not to be confused with the general RAM which should be AT LEAST 2GB in my opinion. Oh, well.

#24898 Article: Apple To Beat Wii U To Tablet Gaming Market?
Posted by Pac-1234 on 30 August 2011 - 06:06 AM in Wii U Hardware
However, the way Apple is doing it is somewhat slow. Apple has not openly said it is planning to do so, but its actions speak louder.
The way I see it, Apple would only pose a threat to Nintendo (And any other console manufacturer) if it starts putting buttons in its devices.
If you think of it, that's the only thing preventing Apple from being a direct (keyword ) competitor in the dedicated console business.
The day Apple announces an "isomething" device, it'll be the day to start worrying for the dedicated console industry as we know it.

They're 5-6 years old.
Edit: Wait, why would they use Microsoft's Direct X 10?
They're not. Nintendo is using OpenGL 4.1 which is the equivalent to Direct X10. They say Directx10 because it's the most known measure (People are like that, they use names as measures instead of numbers...) so that more people can get a good idea of how well it'll play out. However, I've been told by some friends who study computer sciences at my college that Open GL does a bit better than Direct X so it will be like DirectX10.4 for the Wii U. I doubt my friends trolled me, but they have tricked me before so who knows. lol
#19277 Wii U's Rejection.
Posted by Pac-1234 on 06 August 2011 - 01:46 AM in Wii U Games and Software
If there's one thing Nintendo has done right this whole time, it's an impressive first party army to back up Nintendo's system every generation. This is, However, a double edged sword; for one it gives the system and the brand (Nintendo) a major advantage over other platforms, but they also have a limiting factor, for third parties become more restrictive when trying to conquer new audiences in any of Nintendo's platforms.
Nintendo has tried to regain the third party support since the Gamecube era. Sadly, their strategies have yet to prove effective. The latest attempt made by Nintendo was the 3DS and even though Nintendo limited its first party games, in order for third parties to take the spotlight, the shadow of Nintendo's first party success prevented third parties from profiting as they expected. Aside from a very few third party games (Street Fighter 4 3DS is one example), what took the spotlight in the not so successful 3DS launch were first party games (Nintendogs+cats, Ocarina of Time, Steel Diver, Pilotwings).
In general, Nintendo is faced with a difficult task this upcoming gen; that is to regain the position of a company suited for third parties and first parties alike. If they succeed, I think we'll be seeing a second SNES era, if they mildly get there, I think we'll see a second Gamecube era and if they fail, I think we'll see a second Wii-like era.
Nintendo won't go out of business anytime soon, yet. Nevertheless, if the Wii U fails, I think it'll be time for every Nintendo fan to worry about the company's future as a dedicated console manufacturer.

#18260 Nintendo in trouble?
Posted by Pac-1234 on 03 August 2011 - 11:35 AM in Wii U Hardware
No, they are losing money. The cost of the materials is ~$104, but the cost of manufacturing, shipping, advertising and similar things all add up, and then you have stores, which take $50+ of each product sold...
They're not losing much money, but they are most certainly losing money.
Yes, you are correct. I posted this before the price of manufacturing costs were affected by the price cut. But yeah, you're right; Nintendo is losing as of now some money. Not a lot though.
#17841 Nintendo in trouble?
Posted by Pac-1234 on 01 August 2011 - 05:33 PM in Wii U Hardware
Brief and dumb example: During the Wii hot-streak, Nintendo made $10.00 in profits per unit sold.
Today, the Wii sales give Nintendo ONLY $2.00 in profits per unit sold.
An 80% reduction in sales revenue!
An 80% loss in profits!
OVER 50% losses!
Is Nintendo losing money? Not exactly! They are only making less money. They ARE NOT losing money.
