I like how when a Wii U exclusive can't be released earlier due to other versions of the games coming sooner, but when they delay a Wii U version of a game after other versions, it's just peachy.

You're underestimating the power of high schoolers.

That seems to be the most logical, yet it appears as though there is either an established engine on another platform, or the game already exists on another platform.

I hope if Watchdogs is Wii U/360/PS3, that Wii U is lead. Otherwise, I hope the rumors are true and the game is ported from the PS4 to see how comparable the machine is.

They are developing the next Gen together. It's not ported from PS3 and 360.

Crysis 3 was cancelled due to EA.

Bioshock was in development for years and barely got released on the platforms it did release on.

Metro was THQ published, which meant bankruptcy would dampen the possibilities.

GTA5 is unlikely, for the same reason Bioshock never happened, and tomb raider etc. Games in development with years are unlikely.

 

Nintendo could have moneyballsed them all if they wanted to though, doubt it'd pay off but they could have.

 
Bioshock Infinite barely got released on the platforms it did releason on?
I wouldn't call selling 3.7 Million units since launch "barely"...

Its already been confirmed its not power 7

Nintendo have made the effort to impress us about the manufacturing technology behind the wii u which is good but have denied us the actual specification and performance of the console which I'm guessing isn't so flattering.

What it does look like is a console that may have been designed initally for a single combined gpu/cpu but couldn't actually deliver that feature. More than likely a future revision will integrate both together. This is a shame in a way as I guess if they could have integrated at launch bandwidth between cpu and gpu could have been tweaked higher.

I don't know how big the cpu is in real terms because we have only been given an image of the cpu with its ceramic enclosure. I know with surface mounted parts this is much smaller than the older tech but we won't really be able to judge the architecture of the wii u cpu until someone x-rays it and also without knowing its actual mhz speed again we are just guessing. I think its fair to say the information here is the cpu is fairly minimal and a 3 core enhanced broadway chip seems even more likely, not far from being confirmed. If anything the mhz speed now is more of interest. It's highly likely to be a multiple of 729mhz, with the gpu perhaps a multiple of 243mhz. Perhaps 2197mhz for the cpu and 729mhz for the gpu. The reason I suggest that figures is I believe the gpu will incorporate the original wii gpu with 2meg video and 1 meg texture cache and one of the broadway cores will be the wii cpu. Why else would they use broadway cores if it wasn't for one of them to be the wii cpu?

Its looking to be a nice console, while not pushing the envelope in performance the package as a whole is brilliant and looks to be a lot of fun. The concept is very clever and it will be capable of some terrific games. Clearly it will be the most powerful console overall on the market until the next generation of Microsoft and Sony consoles are available.

Uh, no it has not been confirmed.

Try researching the source material of articles.

Nothing stated in that article is true, the idiot journalist simply listened to internet hearsay instead of researching the actual twitter feed, which is probably why there is NO LINK TO THE SOURCE. ie the tweet.

There was NEVER a proven false tweet of power 7 from ibm.

Ugh, did you even read this crap? This has to be.one of the stupidest articles i have ever seen. Do you just pick anything that supports your view point without checking whether or not.its sound or complete garbage? It only makes your argument look worse when the link you post as proof is.complete and utter garbage.

Unlike your article I HAVE the actual tweet that withdrew the power 7 statement. Research, it pays off. It.was not a statement stating power 7 was not the processor base, it was statement stating they were not.allowed.to.saythat much, they could only say as much as what was provided in the original 6/11 press release, and they apologized for the error in policy.

@Xbicio
@IBMWatson @EmersonPatten Thanks! but that
information is not clear and non specific

And finally, tell your idiot journalist that a power based processor is NOT proof of no power 7 as power 7 IS a freaking power based processor. God i hate proffesional incompetence.
