Looks like it's done already.
I'm confused.
how do you know that?

Because he said it? And if it's not true, I guess he'd already have been banned.
I'm still confused, by I guess it's pretty much logical, right?
*shrugs* I wouldn't be at all surprised if he doesn't know what we mean by "verify." I'm still waiting for a mod to chime in.

What do you mean by "verify" then? Your comment makes me think that it's not what I think it is.
Not too many moderators online at the moment: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showgroups.phpOMG, would someone PLEASE call a mod to get in here so we can stop talking about this troll, PLEASE?
That's ok Grampa, we don't need the mods for that - we've always known that.I am the god king lord of the entire universe, and the mods have verified it.
The only thing that makes me think that Arkam is telling the truth is because he's been able to troll us for so long...in which case it wouldn't be trolling at all. We need some mods in here to verify.
Sub current gen would cost $199. Maybe $149.
No chance in fuck that's happening. It'll be far more powerful than this gen.
He vanished for sometime after being asked to verify
Sub Current gen would require each dev kit since the first to be weaker than the prior.
If Arkam isn't trolling, I don't know what trolling is.
Assuming Arkham isn't trolling, there are a number of issues to consider. He's not a software engineer, so his information is 2nd hand. Is the company he's working at using inhouse middleware, or are any current limitations potentially due to unoptimized, unfinished alpha or beta middleware? If they're writing their own engine, which API did they use? Nintendo offers five different APIs with varying levels of performance on 3DS (well, direct register access isn't really an API, but whatever), and I'd expect the same from Wii U. If the devkits don't contain final GPUs, the fastest, most low level approaches probably aren't available at all at this point. Also: How reliant is the graphics engine on CPU floating point performance? Because I wouldn't be surprised if that was an area where PS3 and 360 were indeed superior. The expectations, general knowledge and potential bias of the Arkham's source is also something to be considered.
There's a strong argument that it happened this generation (Wii vs. Xbox).Has that even ever happened? A new generation having less powerful and capable hardware than the previous generation? It doesn't even some possible to me.
What if Arkam is really a legit programmer with a dev kit and he's just deliberately feeding us bullshit ?

Yes but Nintendo has seen how that affected its chance with 3rd party ports. I don't see how they would fall into that same trap again for next gen.
There's simply too many sources saying that the Wii U is a leap over last gen for me to believe it's weaker.
Unless the final devkit took a nosedive, I'm disinclined to believe it.
The PS360 could easily have done that Zelda demo. Wasn't it running a 720P witn no AA at 30fps. Easily done with current generation machines.3) The Japanese Garden, Zelda and Streets demos were streets ahead of anything that the PS3 and 360 are capable of in terms of processing power.
They did with the 3DS, which is less powerful than similarly priced devices and can't run Unreal Engine 3. I'm not even talking Vita here, you can use an iPod Touch or Android non-phone for comparison.
So, why are we talking about a random poster?
I know, I know, we have no news, no new rumors, and pretty much everything has been talked about back and forth.
Speaking of which, why aren´t there any leaks yet? It´s too quiet.
2 long weeks to GDC, hopefully we will get something... or this thread will just lose it...
