Ambidextrous

Look in settings, the second last icon on the bottom row and do an update.

The download manager is designed not to destroy their servers.

 

Also, my upad's lost connection to my console like 3 times during the installation part, so keep calm and do panic.

I could be wrong, but isn't Ubisoft Montreal developing the PS4/Durango/PC versions while Ubisoft Bucharest is developing the Wii U/PS3/360 versions? If true, that could put things in perspective.

Thats EXACTLY whats going on.

Ah, I looked up the PS3 GPU and it said it was based off (whatever it was called) and on wikipedia it said that that GPU family was from 2005-2006. I gave Sony the benefit of the doubt and said 2006. Guess I was wrong though. But yeah, Wii U is much more powerful than PS3, I agree with you.

Realistically, any console's componets are mainly going to be finished within a 4 to 10 month window, probably before that. Because developers need time with final hardware. As we saw with the Wii U, they started with the HD4xxx Series and ended up with something similar to the end of life HD5xxx or a HD6xxx Series, which is very good.

But as long as you believe the Wii U is more powerful than the PS3, I don't care lol jk.

There is a chance the cpu uses dynamic frequency scaling. Later Power PC chips have this and it would aid cooling of the console which is very important considering its size. However the most important thing of all is the cpu speed quoted is 1.24ghz which is not a multiple of the original wii cpu speed which was 729mhz I think. So it seems highly likely the cpu has this to enable full compatibilty with wii games by scaling the frequency down to 729mhz. In which case its quite possible 1.24ghz is not the maximum cpu speed. I still think it will be around 1.8ghz a 50% increase on the stated speed. However its possible that Nintendo slowed the gpu from 600 to 550mhz and reduce cpu speed due to thermal issues.

Whatever its clearly current gen performance overall and is really Nintendo's entry into PS3/360 territory. I'm not convinced there is any serious cpu assistance in the gpu its too small and low power. However I feel the wii u is designed to maximise the performance of its low cost components and this will make up some of the gap with the 360 and PS3 which have some issues to maximising performance especially the ps3.

The wii u simply may not be able to replicate all games fully that are possible on 360 and PS3 but then the wii u has its own advantages with regard memory, optical drive and gpu plus of course the huge advantage of amazing Nintendo games.

Anyway hopefully we can have some realism about the wii u. It is a bit disppointing that Nintendo didn't make the wii u comfortably outperform the 360 and PS3 there is no getting around that but its still a far, far more powerful console than the wii and a huge generational jump from wii to wii u.

Deluxe Wii U due to Nintendo land coming with it. The game was a blast with my brother and roommate.

Oh ye! You little beauty! I hadn't noticed that section b4. Woohoo !! :-)

Have you paid for it now then? Or will you just leave them to take it when it's dispatched? I'm wondering whether to just go ahead and pay now so it's all cleared by then
