No hard, comparable specs were revealed so you really can't compare.

Tbh, this is the console Nintendo should have launched 5 years ago.

This article is pretty much the specs of the controller + HDMI.

How about:
Processor
RAM
Graphics card
Storage media
multimedia capibilities
Network interfaces
Blu-ray?
Bluetooth?

7 Years Late

Personally, I welcome HD Nintendo franchises. I will buy all the big name games on my PS3 and exclusives on my 360. Nintendo has a place in my heart and I will buy their new console.

My Opinion...

Am I the only one that dislikes Reggie's arrogant attitude? Does he think we are kids or something and have no idea that there is a PS3 and 360.

No details on the console at all, just heard control this, control that...

I wanted to hear specs, the disc format,(well no blu-ray) but how much can it hold etc. Was also expecting them to introduce an online gaming service like XBL or PSN.

This is a terrible comparison. If your going to actually "compare" you need to match statistics. Saying one has USB ports and the other has 3 doesn't compare. To do a proper comparison you need a 3 column chart with shared rows that can be filled in for each. Use the same measurements. I'm not great a conversion between mm and inches. In the end, it looks like the WiiU will have a newer multi-core processor and the wireless video transitter. Thats about all that is new. No blu-ray (which I didn't think it would), no hard drive, and no mention of bluetooth. It does not mention wireless or network connectivity either so I assume there is still plenty more to learn about the new console.

Can somebody explain how this, um.. thing can be associated with a café?

Something must really be wrong with my eyes. They are saying that the visuals are up there with 360 and PS3 but from what they showed at the conference the ports look awful. I was watching Darksidrs 2 and Tekken and they didn't look next gen at all. They didn't even look smooth or lifelike. I must need new glasses

i dnt really know what to think about this console i thought they were going like all out on the industry but IMO its just a wii hd something that should have been here 4 years ago wonder if they realize that in the next two years or so microsoft and sony will have a new console that will destroy this thing come on nintendo it isnt launching until 2012 please make it a beast one time the controller is interesting but HELLO sony just introduced the vita and i think they will interact ps3 and vita and we will see great capabilities beyond what this wii u can do the touch screen on the controller isnt even hd WOW

The only thing that gets me is the Name. Wii-U? But I'm still getting it and it's FULL HD that's all I care bout.

Just another overhyped Nintendo console. This seems more like what they should have released this generation. It's going to be pretty sad when Sony and Microsoft release their new consoles.

I can already predict the lens of truth on all ports with a million comments and N4G on fire with flame wars.

Looks like an etch e sketch. no thanks.

The Zelda HD and Bird Demo were confirmed to be real time by Kotaku. Those two demos looked better than a 360 game, that's all i am saying.

They might as well have named it the Wii Pad.

stupid,the only thing compared here is the size of the consoles, but youre not mentioning that the x360 and the U (most likely) are going to have a power brick while the ps3s PSU is in the unit.

I don't understand why they are gunning for a propriety disk format, wouldn't the wii2 be much better if it was bluray

Sooo where are all these specs to back up the fact that it would be significantly more powerful than ps3 & 360 now? You know the ones that were everywhere before they announced this thing? Where are the specs that stated that this would be a hardcore gaming console?

i thank they been working on the wii u for some time.. maybe they show more at the tokyo game show

After reading so many comments on n4g I'm starting to wonder if I some how got a fake ps3. All this talk about how they hope it at least looks better than 360 games as if the ps3 is leaps and bounds ahead of the 360 when it comes to graphics. I really don't get this place and their die hard love for 1 console.

I would understand if the ps3 killed 360 graphics like pc graphics kill all consoles but that's not the case.

So guys, has this leak been debunked already? did some of you forgot it or what?

I smell some cuts on the corner of this; this hardware should be producing far superior graphics than what we've seen so far. 256XDR2 CPU + 512 GDDR3 GPU is closer to that kind of graphics, and of course cheaper.

It could also be due to the inexpertise of Nintendo first party with multicore architecture, or simply the third party being dicks and repaying Nintendo with sloppyness and lazyness.

Anyway, I don't see the use of such high-end memory without the experience to use it, or an architecture like the cell, for that matter.It took PS programmers almost 5 years, and somehow I don't think they're sharing expertise with the competition (lol) Sony would've made a greater graphical leap with such specs because of all of this, no doubt about it.
