yea im not saying nintendo has underpowered consoles at all but the vita certainly handles the 3ds in the graphics department

[Cobiwan]

Well there were rumors about the earlier devkits being 50% more powerful than the PS3 so this could be beautiful.

[neverwinteru]

i expect to be amazed come this e3

Well wheither you like Sony or PS Vita or not, you cannot deny that $249.99 is pretty good for the hardware. And its not the PSP's fault, it was Sony and third parties to blame. Wii U, on the other hand has advanced tech plus awesome games coming. So I shall say again: If you want the best quality, you have to be willing to pay that $350 or w.e.

I very much agree the Vita is pure Epicness and whether you are a Nintendo or Micro fan you should be a man enough person to admit the better console......I would've liked 3DS to be better or just as good but Nintendo coldn't cut it.
That still dosen't change that I love my 3DS, but Vita is better because Sony learned from their mistakes.

Nintendo has a chance to get their game up with Wii U, lets see how they fair and be men about it alright.

We know it has potiential!

I would disagree with you on that.I admit that it's a great machine but thats about it really.Sony again think that they can easily dominate Nintendo's grip on the handheld market by power alone.No matter which has the more horsepower it all comes down to the software since software sells hardware and that's really I think Nintendo knew that they would never get replaced so they didn't try to compete with a hd handheld.Pokemon,Mario,Zelda,Kirby,Donkey Kong,Professor Layton>>>>Uncharted Golden Abyss

O.O
I already thought that it was powerful. We all know that it is more powerful than the PS3 or Xbox 360. So if it is that powerful then I wont be bullied for liking Nintendo! YESH!!!

[Bane]

Yeah in fact during the N64, PS1, Saturn era, N64 was the most powerful game console of that generation. Plus it was to go to platform for FPS due to the controller and multiplayer to to being the only system at the time to support 4 players.

[SleepyGuyy]

Okay, i admit that i was pretty far off assuming the WiiU will be on par with PS3/Xbox. It makes sense to be much more powerful than this generation because it is the next generation. Even the wii was a little more powerful than the GameCube. And yes, Nintendo was always the most powerful. The NES, SNES (for about a year), N64, and Gamecube were all the most powerful systems of thier time.

[neverwinteru]

lol anyone can look at a spec sheet and see that the gamecube was not stronger than the xbox please stop saying it was the strongest when it clearly wasnt and with the latest development of the 720 only being 20% stronger than the wii u i think nintendo will once again dominate another generation only this time people will stick with them for a long time to come

@Mr ECHO3

MHZ !=Power. They used completely different CPU/GPU set ups that actually were pretty equal in power.

The only real differences between the GC and Xbox were RAM (the Xbox has more) and the API used, the Xbox used Direct X 8, and therefore was easier to develop for, and the GC (and inherently, the Wii) uses it's own API developed specifically for it, meaning it was harder to develop for, it used programmable TEVs instead of Shaders for instance.

I can't wait for e3. This is going to be one for the ages! I hope Retro Studios will have an IP that will be mind blowing. I hope the big N comes with their guns cocked and fully loaded! I hope this e3 will be a return of the JRPG, and the glory that was the SNES days! I hope this e3 Nintendo puts their stamp on the specs and silence the biased critics for good! I hope this e3 will be so epic that the entire audience will go into refractory defibrillation! But alas I am merely hopeful, however I do hope it comes to pass!

Something new, rumor is stating that the final dev kits are not 100% final and can still get better.

http://gonintendo.co...story&id=170698

- dev kits now perform somewhat better than previous dev kits
- dev kits are not absolutely final
- still be some tweaks to the controller
- Nintendo Network detailed at E3

[Terrabyte20xx]

Ah, pre- E3 rumor flood, how I love thee.

But that wouldn't surprise me, considering Nintendo probably wants to get opinions from 3rd Parties so it can make the system even better.

Power defintely matters.....people think it doesn't but ask yourself would you rather Nintendo make Wii U with same Graphics while PS4 has Cinematic Graphics?
Ofcourse not, as you should know 3DS sales aren't doing as well as I it should but Sony has more support because of Power
3DS has under 50 games in US that has been released, Vita has a Line-Up of 80 Games .

Not argumental but respect my post

Gamecube was the strongest console of its generation. Xbox had some unique strengths in memory though. But the gamecube had the most ..."computing power", higher resolutions

I 100% agree with you about how power matters.

But your statement about "3DS sales aren't doing as well as it should" comment is completely wrong, the 3DS is selling better then Nintendo expected now and it's the Vita that is not selling as what Sony hoped, the 3DS is getting great third party support and more games are coming, why do you think Capcom announced that Monster Hunter 4 is a 3DS exclusive (for what we know right now).

I am not saying that power dont matter,I am saying that Sony relies too much on power instead of software and new experiences.Plus thier marketing stragedy is terrible.

This is generally the case with Nintendo consoles from what I've read. Parts of the console are initially locked, and then unlocked as time passes. The 3DS comes to mind.

I was referring to the US Releases Ofcourse the Japanese Launch won't go well they had a weak line-up I'm referring to US, trust me no offense but I was a moderator at a PSVITA Forum very successful, same design as this site but I like the community there better we don't have fanboys arguing 24/7 all the time peaceful actually.
