Momentan ist die Wii U die stärkste Konsole mit viel Potential für die Zukunft. Man darf nicht vergessen, dass die Wii U-GPU einer ganz anderen Generation entstammt als ihre aktuellen Konkurrenten. Dadurch sind komplett neue Herangehensweisen möglich, die einerseits viel einfacher zu implementieren sind als die Spezial-Hybrid-Lösungen, die man auf anderen Konsolen zurzeit braucht, und die auch letztendlich viel mehr Performance bringen. Im Zusammenspiel mit dem mehr als großzügigen Arbeitsspeicher hat man unglaublich viele Möglichkeiten. Man darf auch nicht vergessen, dass es Entwickler braucht, die das Potential einer Konsole überhaupt ausreizen können.

Rough translation:

Wii U is the most powerful console currently on the market, and it has much potential. The Wii U GPU is from a completely different generation compared to those in other platforms. That allows completely new approaches that are much easier to implement and also much more efficient than hybrid approaches required on other consoles. That, in combination with the generous amount of RAM, gives developers quite a lot of options. But one also shouldn't forget that it takes capable developers to get the most out of a platform.

It is good to hear a dev talk in specifics for once. I think we konda already knew this, but hearing it be confirmed is good.

Cool

Good news, but i knew it was powerful. The spec dont always tell the truth. Just like clock speed. Most people thing a low clock speed means it slow but thats not always the case. It can be faster then the old stuff because its new gen.
Either way i know the.wii is strong and powerful. Just need the devs that will push it.

Look at the ps3. Compare 1st year games to this year games,.and you see the how far we came.

Everything said there is great... But what about the CPU? Nothing was said to shoot down the idea that it's slow.

He don't say anything about the CPU, maybe the CPU is weak but I'm happy because the Wii U uses GPGPU and the GPU can help the CPU. Hoping to see first party games and exclusive third party games that use the true power of the system.

Well it doesn't make much sense that Nintendo would put in a GPU and RAM that devs are positive about, only to have a sub par processor.

You would think but who knows its Nintendo they are a wild card , I'm not even going to get the wiiu for a couple more months (Mostly because they are everywhere I live already out of stock which surprised me consider most people don't know what the 3ds is but know the wiiu even though its not even out yet.) but I am excited for its launch so people can crack it open even if it won't tell us fully what it is capable of it will be able to be compared .
