Hi peeps,i came across this on the net and thought some of you may be interested

I'd bet my left nut that several of the tech nuts on this forum have already read this, or articles stating the same thing (heck, even I don't really get into this console tech numbers nonsense and know Marcan cracked it).

There's nothing wrong with this thread per se, and despite it not really looking like it, these types of thread have been flamebait in recent days. The brawl over specification discussion is ridiculous.

And so the war continues ...

Here we go again

I know you are new, but please use the search function (or in this case look at the "pinned" threads) in the future to see if there are any ongoing discussions on specific topics. We actually have an official specs discussion thread: http://thewiiu.com/t...ussions-thread/





All these specs threads are killing me... slowly... but surely.

Hmm that a tiny bit depressing since if just go by speed the wii U is weaker than the 360 every single way but I am not just going to go by speed but it does mean the wii U is going to be essentially(appears to be) a wii of next generation . But anywho If I survived a generation with the only console being a wii I can surly survive a generation with only a wii U

It seems pretty obvious to me that the Wii U isn't weaker than the 360... clock speed alone isn't the only decisive factor to a console's power.

Sorry, it looks like by the time I made the post you had edited yours... OR I just didn't read carefully.

the only things I added after my initial post was a couple grammer correcton and (appears to be) both of which were added before your post.

Yes but he is a slow reader

Refer to sig Once again I will say it. Ignore specs, play the games you want because you enjoy them not because another console has better specs. Or some developer says another console is easier to make games for. At the end of the day developers realise Nintendo has a huge fan base. So they would be stupid to ignore the wii u.

its pointless talking about it.... since we know few things about it.. lol

I even search deep internet about wii U or nintendo, but nobody interests there about video games. lol So the best advice is to wait, games and the near feature will tell.

Let the complaining and flaming begin.

For the live of God. Clock speed means almost NOTHING these days. A Intel i7 quad core at only 2.3 GHz will absolutely rape a previous generation CPU. you have to remember that it's all about architecture these days. The speed wars are a thing of the past. Chip maskers make processors so efficient these days that it does not take a high speed chip to be fast. Sorry to hurt any feelings but I am so sick of seeing this stuff every time I check forums

[SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

Oh God no, we should put signs on the forums saying "Do Not Feed The Trolls"

I agree. Its mostly old war horses, and up and coming gamers who still rely on numbers like many of my generation used to do in the 90's (I personally wan't self aware about these things til around mid 2000's or so 0_0 ) Still, I can't help but be excited about these super efficient architectures pumping out amazing visuals , you know. It reminds me of Initial D in a way; having an old 86' Corolla out race all those fast cars with drifting and all. Good times.

*realizes he bumped thread slightly*

sorry!, oh, and welcome OP to Wii U forums! Enjoy your stay here.

Edit: Sorry bout that Unchained Goku. My mistake.

What?

Either way we're stuck with Nintendo first party games on this console for the next 5 years, and hopefully at least the usual trend of refreshing games from third parties which wouldn't make a cent on other consoles.

i totally agree with you... but the naysayers are basing their case of what we think the CPU is based off of. the ibm 750 line is what everyone is saying and becuase of that the naysayers are saying no way the CPU can be anything special or better than ps360. its a lot of unknows right now EVEN the clock speed as i dont really trust this so called hacker. in reality what others have said its time for TRUE gamers to take a stand. its up to the devs to take advantage of what inside the console and make incredible games fot it. if they cant do that they shouldnt be called developers IMO.
