I'm not sure why everyon assumes the 720 and PS4 are going to be ridiculously more powerful than this gen . Seriously MS and Sony do other things too. they don't have the money to make millions of 1000 dollar consoles and sell them at a loss.
Nintendo has already said officially that WiiU will be more expensive than Wii at launch. A more reasonable guess is 349-499 dollars. I'd love to argue but YOU should use some logic. If you read and actually learn about Wii U.

You'll see a cheap but effective 4870 in the WiiU would still be 3 times better than PS3. the Powe...
"Those who think Wii-U isn't next gen based on unannounced specs and how it won't be as powerful as the other consoles are going to be missing out on a promising device by Nintendo.
I assumed "hardcore" gamers owned all systems and played as many various games as there wallet would allow." JBsleek said it
When WiiU comes out the Network should be called Nintendo stream.
Well they already said that WiiU WILL NOT use friend code and its supposedly 3-5 times PS3 power. We have no idea the power of PS4 and 720. The only rumor I've seen about Ps4 is that is won't be much more powerful than PS3 so it will be cheap and aimed at casuals.
UMM... fanboy much?
You comment is so stupid i don't know where to begin... REAL GAMERS... will go to when the good games are. Wii had good games, but it was hindered by the system power. i don't know how old you are but Nintedno before this gen had the best graphics and a lot of popular games N64 was more powerful than PS1, Gamecube was more powerful than PS3. The WiiU is going to be for core and casual... Games like no more hores anf the conduit are not super realistic but t...
It so cool how you know how every hardcore gamer in the world thinks about WiiU... just cause you do like it doesn't mean THAT REAL GAMERS (not the fanboys who stay loyal to one company that you're talking about) won't like the WiiU. Also no matter how you slice it the 3DS is doing well right now...
Well Sony has already said they are not announcing it... also i think Sony is going to make a cheaper console so it will sell better... Making the PS4 a 2012 high end pc is not going to work because they will only be a few people like you willing to pay 900 plus dollars for it... also in case you didnt know Crtek has already said WiiU runs CryEngine 3 at High setting
But you don't know the specs of WiiU ... Rumor has it that they'll be 3-5 PS3 power... Wii was this gen and WiiU is next gen. It's not fair to label a system when nothing about it spec are known...
Is this rumor from the same people who said the Xbox720 would have Avatar graphics?
Imagine a 3Ds game with full CPU power...
If you hate 3DS so much why do comment on every article?
EDIT: LITERALLY almost EVERY 3DS article...
That would be interesting... if we know the power of the WiiU... since we don't you are just speculating. We don't know the 720 or PS4 power... they could be incredibly weak... the WiiU could be powerful... we know abosolutely nothing about any of the specs.
How do you know hardcore will hate WiiU... many hardcore will rejoice to be able to play high end and mario and Zelda on the same system.
Troll...
I'm a Nintendo fan... The WiiU will be powerful but not that kind of power... WiiU is packing a 5000 series AMD Radeon HD
Yah but wiiU isn't aimed at the audience you're talking about... While you say that I play Gta on my Ds and GameCube and cod on my wii which sold 25 mil
actually that was devs kits... the real version are 3-5 times the power of the PS3
You're a hater... the Final WiiU will be more than 50 percent more powerful... the 360 and PS3 are old so Nintendo can be cheap and make a console MUCH more powerful for cheap... Nintnedo said they are aiming for a different group than casuals... WiiU does count as next gen. You dont even know the specs. the WiiU GTA would be better than the PS# version because controls and better graphics... the WiiU is more powerful than the PS3. 3-5 times more powerful. What do you know about next gen?...
GameCube, DS... Where have you been? Start Now because the console finally has the specs to pull it off...
cool you're physic... wait no you're just a fanboy...
also I told myself when I clicked on this link that the first comment would be an anti- Nintendo/WiiU thing from Colwyn... seriously, trolling is lame
