He said it will fail in comparason to the Wii. The Wii sold 100 million units. He's pretty much saying the Wii U will fail because it won't sell 100 million units.
Use your brain in future, 'kid'.
You're right, Nintendo don't have games that look as good as Uncharted they must be the worst company in the world. I mean if you don't value graphics over good gameplay experiences then you don't deserve to be in business.
A console doesn't have to sell 100 million units to be successful, if that was the case most consoles would be deemed failures. It would mean the PS3 and 360 have failed.
I'd rather have a Wii U than an iPad.
Adults got the cold hard cash but most of that cash is spent on their kids. With Christmas next month there will be more money spent on kids than adults.
Well I'm getting two or three games with mine next Friday so Nintendo, you're welcome.
As Tesco would say "Every little helps".
It's not that they shouldn't, it's that they don't need to. Nintendo are leagues in front of Sony and Microsoft. They can just keep doing their own thing and Sony/MS can keep copying them.
I don't understand why everyone keeps saying you can't play it for long sessions. Do people not realise you can still use the gamepad while it's charging?
Do a quick Google search, you'll see for every article that states the max speed is 12GB/s there is one that states it's closer to 17. It'll be a while until we know which is true and as I stated before we have no idea what the eDRAM is yet. I don't know why like a lot of people on this website you have it in for Nintendo wait till you have the full specs before throwing your BS around.
I think whenever any says something bad about the Wii U I'm going to take it as the opposite then I might be closer to the truth. I started doing that with Pachter a long time ago and it's worked for me so far.
The system gets bricked if you turn the system off while it's updating, it's simple really just don't turn the system off til it's done.
You can hardly tell but the Wii U version is ever so slightly better, you have to pause it every so often to pick out the differences but they're there. The Wii U version has slightly better textures and lighting. I think the main part you can see the differences is between 50 seconds and 1 minute, when the boat is sailing into the distance, if you pause you can see the 360 version starts to go blurry and you can't see any of the detail whereas on the Wii U version you can almost perf...
The article brings up some good points and it would be great if it turned out to be true. If the Wii U is the 8th gens home of RPGs/JRPGs then it will be my favourite console this gen, I'm guessing the PS4 and 720's main genre will stick to be the FPS as with this gen.
The average speed of the RAM is 12.8, the max speed is closer to 17. That's without knowing how fast the eDRAM is, without knowing the eDRAM speed you can't possibly know what the Wii U RAM is capable of. The PS3 is limited to 25.6, the Wii U's eDRAM could make it twice as fast as the PS3's. As I said we don't know enough about the specs to know if the Wii U is weaker than current gen consoles in any aspect.
Games on the Wii U are capable of native 1080p, Nintendo announced that NSMBU would be because a Mario 2D platformer wouldn't really gain anything from being 1080p, it'd be a waste of time.
No one ever said the Wii U was 3 to 5 times more powerful then the current gen, it's between 1.5 and 2 times better like it was rumoured to be. Name one aspect it's weaker than current gen consoles in because I know you won't be able to as no one outside of Nintendo kno...
The Xbox controller's A, B, X and Y is the one that is switched, they took it from Nintendo and switched it. I'm more use to Nintendo consoles so if I'm prompted to press X I press the top button because that's where it is supposed to be.
@reynod, it's not native 1080p if you're having to use an emulator that's the whole point in the word 'native'.
6th gen to 7th gen was only really big because of the jump to HD. There's not much to leap to between 7th and 8th. It'll be a few generations until there's such a big leap.
What about the multiplats that are better on Wii U like Black Ops, Assassin's Creed, Aliens etc?
