Funny how they mentioned how competitors will have to work hard to match the Wii U. Is he hinting they are making 2nd screen devices or just referring to Smart:Glass & PS3+Vita combo pie in the sky.
I can't believe how long his region lock S*IT has been rumbling on, and how, somehow, it's all Nintendo's doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Write about how MS and Sony do it too instead of trying to make Nintendo look like the devil.
Games journalism needs a massive cull to clear all the deadwood, which accounts for 85% of them.
Graphically overall being a straight arcade por this does look like a good Dreamcast game, but the boss battles look epic and local 4-5 player should be crazy fun.
On the very first day the Wii U launches, it will have 11 games or so that exploit the Wii U's very essence RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. On the very first day the Wii U launches, it will have prooved it's potential 1000% moreso than the PS3/PSP/Vita combo has in 6 years.
I mean, are the people refutting this on drugs or something?
By the time the next PS is released, you'd be lucky to see 1 PS3 game do 10% of what the Wii U can do, and do it worse. Stop ...
It would be nice, but development cost are going up,and more studios closing down, but people are still demanding more and more graphics driving developments costs up more and more.
Indie games are getting better and better so just stick to them.
“Kevin we can confirm that the Wii U will use AMD graphics but we have not provided any specifics on what silicon they will be using in the upcoming console.”
AMD have already said the E6760 rumours are bullshit. They made an official statement.
I don't think it's that the Wii U is too expensive, I think it's the PS3/360 that are over priced. They are 7 years old now.
This article is trying its hardest to make the Wii U sound as shit as possible, when they are just clutching at straws and making assumptions on the worst case scenario. And some people will believe'em too.
He has a lot of followers. He's a good talker. A salesman. He has some smarts and is somewhat tech-savvy, but he makes so many mistakes in his videos with poor research methods, and then gets very, very defensive and churlish if someone calls him on it - even when in a friendly adult fashion.
Full HD DOES mean 1080p, it does, BUT, why didn't they come out and SAY 1080p? Perhaps because there's something fishy about it?
IBM never tweeted it would be a Power7 chip, they said 'the same technology' as Power7 chips, which means it will have some of the same features but isn't a true Power7. A custom chip.
Wii U is the gamepad. This is a PS3 and a PS Vita, a very expensive peripheral, don't you think?
Wii U = out the box, PS3+Vita = optional extra.
Wake up you Sony drones, you're living in la la land. The Vita has a touch screen, a microphone and sim cards... so it could be a phone too... ain't gonna do it though, is it.
Please - talk about butt hurt damage control. I thought the Wii U was a gimmick - now Sony want to copy it all o...
Could it be these guys are poor developers, using the X360 as lead development platform, trying to load scruffy code over to the Wii U's GPGPU design and then blame a weak CPU for their lack of programming talent and time to learn the Wii U before rushing this out for launch?
But most PS3 owners don't own a Vita, so let's not beat around the bush, this is just a pipe dream that won't come near what the Wii U does. Reality check.
Developers will be throwing money down the drain wasting time developing a feature only a very small percentage of people will use.

But then again, they wouldn't be developing 6 games if they thought it was rubbish. Stuff about the latency is a fact, not a made up sales pitch.
Everyone's obsessed with resolutions recently, it's gone crazy. Full HD does mean 1080p though, where I come from.
Developers need to be accurate and consistent when they mention HD and resolution from now on; the public demands it.

People have counted the pixels. The screens are confirmed 1080p >native<.
Fail

I seen a student pay for 1 drink on her credit card in the pub the other day. Her first card got rejected. She then sent a text message on her iPhone.
Amazing.

Yeah, go one Sony, I could do with a good laugh.

AC3 is a demanding game, runs fine on Wii U.

Probably.
