Oh boy.
Wii U WILL be more powerful than Xbox 360 and PS3 by a good margin. Lets recap the last 12 month, shall we?
The first dev kits were supposed to be made off "of-the-shelf" parts. The even underclocked it due to heat issues. This kit (from what it sounds like, was unoptimized as hell. Just parts stichted together to work somehow.
This dev kit already did one 720p image wich may could have run with heavy optimization on xbox 360/ps3 BUT it also already rendered the a different scene in 480p on the Pad! (Bird demo) So this kit was already more powerful than current gen!
V2 dev kits may not have existed outside Nintendos R&D. We have no info on a V2 dev kit.
V3 Propably was like V1 but without heating issues and propably more clock speed due to not having to underclock anymore. It isn´t too far strechted to assume it was way more optimized then the first dev kits. Wich means quite a bit
MOAR POWER
The V4 dev kit arrived and they were
reported to have gotten a unexpected and significant power upgrade. Maybe due to the fact that these kits were the first with WiiU specific silicon in it.
The V5 kits wich supposed to have finally arrived have propably just been
tweaked and optimized. If it is true what ideaman said, at least
Not much known about it. Maybe a
smaller power upgrade due to the tweaking
But even going from V1 to V4...
Do you guys REALLY believe its just an Xbox360+?? Or a Xbox 360 and a Wii and a GC ducttaped together?
PS4 and Durango will be more powerful than WiiU but the WiiU won´t be as weak as alot of people believe.
