Feel free to elaborate beyond a nonsensical image.
People seem to be taking part of Capps quote to indicate the Wii U will be much more powerful than the current generation and that it contradicts the current quote.
When it really it doesn't speak to the measure of technical leap, and they're ignoring the other part where he states that it's conceivable for the Wii U to be left behind its competitors from a technical perspective, resulting in difficulties in multiplatform development.
As others have stated the Wii was beyond the 6th gen consoles, and yet it can still also be considered on par with the XBOX from a technical perspective.
Goddamnit. The problem is you can pick and choose whichever part you want to emphasize. These aren't empirical statements developers are making, and they're often painfully open to interpretation. Like many in this thread on
both sides, you're twisting shit to fill your dumbass agenda.
Check this shit out.
"[Nintendo is] aiming for a point
beyond the current generation – they're just not leapfrogging it. One
can certainly envision a future a couple years down the road where we have some significantly leapfrogged generation and then the Wii U again becomes a system that's not easily portable between the other platforms"
OMG, look what Capps is saying guys! "Beyond the
current generation"? Well we can put all these 360 comparisons to rest. Seriously, anyone who thinks otherwise is just kidding themselves. It's obviously not in the same league or he would have just said nintendo is bringing things up to par. Capps is also in a definite position to know just about everything there is to know about current wii u dev kits, so there's no room for questioning. And yeah, he says PS4/Nextbox might jump over Wii U, but notice how he said "can"? It's pretty clear he's not making a definitive statement. If he knew what MS and Sony were planning, why wouldn't he just say outright that porting to the Wii U from the other next gen consoles wouldn't be possible? Sounds to me like PS4/XB3 is in a state of flux. The main thing we should take away from this though is that Wii U is at least a half generational jump from 360, so about 4x or so, whereas PS4/XB3 will be around 8x. Hype!
See that? See that dumb shit? That's what you sound like.
