I don't know shit about tech, but could it be possible the controllers have some processors inside?

Yeah, today. I'm talking about 2 years from now, where it would probably go through some internal changes and one major die shrink.

I really want Wii U to support 4 U controllers like Wii and Wii Remotes but yeah, I don't know if people are crazy over getting SD images out of their HD Wii U games.
I'd be fine with it, I'm just trying to gauge the possible audience reaction to Nintendo announcing 4-controller support using with the most predictable/practical method to achieve it.
I enjoyed for the suite of Mii/Wii Remote games they demoed.

Yeah but with Wii U pads.Alextended said:It already does exactly that

hmm...I think frieza saga is the toughest to pin down. I'd probably say:
Dreamcast: Gohan at the end of frieza saga
PS2: Piccolo+Nail fusion
GC: Vegeta vs Frieza
Xbox: Goku (base) vs. Frieza
Wii: Goku Kaio-ken x20
360: Frieza
PS3: SSJ1 Goku
Wii-u: Super Vegeta (Ascended Saiyan)
Xbox3: SSJ2 Gohan
PS4: Super Perfect Cell (after he comes back stronger following his self destruction)
In the future it'll most likely be:
Super Wii-U: Maijin Vegeta
PS5: SSJ3 Goku
Xbox4: Mystic Gohan (full potential unlocked)
Super Duper Wii-U: SSJ4 Goku
PS6: SSJ4 Gogeta
Xbox5: Omega Shenron (w/all 7 dragonballs)
yes, I spent too much time thinking about this...
So let's assume the rumour about 360 at E3 12 is true and Microsoft plan to release it holiday 2013. What can realistically be put into it if it is of the same size as the original 360, with the basic SKU priced $350 and MS taking a slight loss at launch? And how much more powerful than RV770 will it be?

Die shrinks help, but they aren't magic elixirs that make a huge power hog into a cool n quiet card. Also the pace at which die shrinks are coming has slowed down a lot for companies not named Intel. The 4770 is a 40nm card, the latest Radeons/GeForce cards are still at 40nm.
Also, many underestimate just how much juice this card uses.
That certainly factors into the lower power usage but the 4770 has some other benefits. In the long run they are all capable cards that would be a step up but certainly nothing like 10x. A safe 2-4x though. 4870 would certainly move into the real of 5x.Mr_Brit said:
CPU is where I really expect the least performance boost. I could easily see them going for a small boost that comes just from modern tech.

Dreamcast is Freeza because it outclassed everything when it came around
PS2 is Super Saiyan Goku because it obliterated the Dreamcast and dominated the generation
GameCube is Future Trunks, because Trunks has purple hair and also obliterated Freeza
Xbox is Super Saiyan Vegeta, because it outclassed the PS2 once the latter met its limitations (processing, heart problems)
360 is the Ascended Super Saiyan Vegeta, because it's brutally powerful but burns out quickly
PS3 is Perfect Cell because of the goddamn name of the processor and was more powerful than anything else
Wii is Super Saiyan Gohan, because it is small and throws back to the previous generation
Wii U is Super Saiyan 2 Gohan, because it'll beat Perfect Cell

What's your PC spec?
Even a $400 budgeted console box would be gimped all compared to my PC too.

Would be ideal for Monster Hunter 4. Local multiplayer, one console, four screens.Plinko said:

It's absolutely fantastic news if true, but I'm just going to wait it out until it's closer to confirmed.
Oh, and if it is true this system is definitely at SSJ2 Gohan level.
It's certainly more than a "significant" step in terms of overall power and potential.

I'm hoping that it's a 4850, 4860 or a 4870, but anything from the R770 class is a very nice step up from the current HD consoles and they'll run smooth as butter once they're looked over by Nintendo's engineers.antonz said:

Your list would be much more believable if The WiiU was SSJ2 Gohan. It's a console that has been eleven years in the making.guek said:

What's the power draw for the 360 and PS3?

Oh believe me, I'm not scoffing but just correcting him. I don't don't know how the custom quad chip in the Vita compares to Nvidia's Kal-el but the tech demos they've released so far have been amazing.Lord Error said:
MisterHero said:
you realise that's SD to the controllers right? With a 6.2 inch screen? I'd be amazed if anyone noticed. In fact, not many people playing them did, lots of reports guessed at 720p.
EDIT: Also I don't watch DBZ, can someone translate? Perhaps using Pokemon duct taped together?

I know Ace had a great idea the other day. A thread dedicated to just informing gamers about the innards of consoles, pcs, handhelds, etc. You know RAM, GPUs, CPUs, and the like. Think you'd be up to the task? It would really cut down on the stupid tech assumptions and I feel it would strengthen the board as a whole.

I have a 4850 in my PC. It doesn't even run Witcher 2 at 1080p/30fps when I have everything but ubersampling/LoD at ultra. I dunno though, the bottleneck could be my 2.4Ghz Core 2 Quad.

I like what you did there, and I originally wanted the Dreamcast as Captain Ginyu. However, I couldn't get it to fit. I wanted to make sure that the console that "won" the generation ended up as the victor in DBZ - thus, why the PS2 was Super Saiyan Goku, and not a form of Freeza.
There is also no way in hell that I will budge on the PS3 = Cell, either.

That's exactly what I meant.Alextended said:
The console and display are capable of more but I just don't see a full multiplayer set-up looking/being as good as the single-player experience just yet.
I think a lot of people were expecting that, even after reactions to the 1-controller-per-console speculation.

At that resolution you're really stretched the limits of your 4850 especially to the huge 1080p frame buffer at only 512MB RAM with Witcher 2 with near max settings. You're better suited towards lower resolutions and easing the settings some more.

They both started out at about 200 watts when playing games. The 360 is down to 135watts thanks to the latest hardware revision and the PS3 averages between 90-120 watts when playing a game.DragonKnight said:
They're from wikipedia.
It was worth it. This console is the perfect analogue to SSJ2 Gohan. It's got the whole "potential" aspect down like Gohan who showed crazy bursts of power(Galaxy, Metroid prime) and who realized his true potential after his friend was crushed under the foot of a more powerful console(The Wii that was run down by shoddy ports and a more powerful adversary with better development tools).shadyspace said:

geez Nintendo give this forum a break and drop your WiiU Specs 
how many of these threads will we have before we know the facts?

I love this thread, relative sane discussion about Wii U graphics and comparisons to DragonBall Power Levels.

Hey, no need to convince me, friend. I was the first one in the thread to make the SSJ2 Gohan comparison haha.SolarPowered said:
Max Power consumption really comes down to being what would be nice to know. Nintendo went on the crazy kick with the Wii and its 18W system. If they purposely try for a 50w system or something then they will have to seriously weaken their potential to achieve a "eco-friendly" system.
Plinko said:
Except it seems insufficient to run to TV in HD plus more than one controller.
That said a 4890 is what I am running in my PC now and it is a beast. It can easily output 1080p in most games with lots of eye candy, and no sweat in 720p.
But I think the 770 is more of a 4850 card, which is significantly less powerful, but nevertheless much stronger than the PS3/360.

I looked at the 480GTX and 580GTX, the wattage and heat usage is scary at over 350 watt. The 480GTX was released the in the Spring of last year and 580GTX fall/winter and the different is like 10 watts. It's no wonder Dennis doubts it in a next gen console.
The 480GTX is now a year old, but that thing is still a monster of a card that goes for like $350-400.
Yeah The Graphics Card market has gone on an advancement path that leaves consoles very much well behind. Even if they can cut power usage in half on some of the top cards today it would be as hot as the entire 360/PS3 and they had cooling issues early on that led to system failures.HomerSimpson-Man said:
Lets say Nintendo settles for the 4850. Thats really not that bad. Thats the reccomended card for Witcher 2 for instance. Take that and put it into aq closed enviroment like a console and it will do even more amazing

Is that just for the card or total system consumption?
