oh yeah!!! also 8xxxM or 7xxxM gpus... mobility (phones and laptops low consumption gpus)... that will make wii U a competitive console. If i am not wrong, wii U uses a standard gpu chipset, modified... not mobility

I think that if anyone buys a Nintendo console for the technical specs may need to reconsider.  Honestly, I think the Wii U is a next-generation console in every sense of the term "next generation".  As already been stated, you cannot judge this console's potential on the launch games (especially any that are made by EA).  I welcome the PS4/X720, because by then, we will see if the gap between Nintendo and its competitors is as great as people envision.  It would also mean the end of ports of games made for the current generation's older architecture.

Even if there's a noticeable gap, is it worth paying an extra $100-150 for those systems? Not for me.  If i was truly interested in the eye candy, I'd take that money and invest in a high performance graphics card for my PC.  I buy consoles for the games either I can't get on the PC or prefer not to play on the PC.

I also remember a certain console that was constantly bragged by its maker regarding its technical specs.  Between the specs and the Blu Ray drive, it was marketed (and priced) as a console ahead of its time accomplishing things its competitors cannot.  How did that turn out?

I can take anything apart and put it back together.
Hell i solder to ic chips before. Legs smaller then a hair.
But yet i couldnt tell you crap about ram or cpus/gpus.
So thay doesnt mean they know anything.
Also i do kbow thay specs arent always fixed. New tech can.use.things of lower spec but still come out faster.
I know this for a fact. And have haf cellphone of lower clock speed out do other of higher.
Its jist all about what the chips inside.can do.

The Av cables that come with The Wii are not HD, I think they are 480
