Well a weak CPU just means a Dolphin U coming faster right? Like I said in another thread: [QUOTE=The Baconator;38633364]eh I can wait, the only reason why I want emulators for all consoles is for I can one day play the ~5 games every console gets that I actually give even the slightest fuck about. I just simply don't wanna buy more cumbersome triple digit priced plastic boxes because a few devs' heads are too far up their ass to make a version for platforms I own and use.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=wombo;38641042]That's true, mostly because of the lack 3rd part support. I still use it now and then, but with the Wii U having a traditional controller I think it's more likely to last.[/QUOTE] Why do people say this? The Wii had so much fucking shovelware it wasn't even funny. There were games, mainly in Japan, that sold around 50 copies as I recall.

Page one is full of doofuses that didn't read how it's a tripple-core.

I'm really looking forward to the PS4 if the rumors about it being x86 based (due to using an AMD APU) because console/pc ports could be all that much more native. Both sides win!

I personally think console elitism is so stupid it rivals obnoxious PC elitism, but at least some PC elitism is based in actual fact.
If you bought the equal of what the wii-u has as a custom built computer how much would it cost? [QUOTE=Nitro836;38640124]WHAT THE HELL IS A CLOCK SPEED? I DON'T SPEAK GEEK.[/QUOTE] [url]https://www.google.com/[/url] its how fast shit goes
The WiiU wasn't made for these ~~fancy bf3-like fps shooters~~. Nintendo probably realized the other consoles will die because they do the same as PC's. The WiiU basically is a "Why do we need that much power, when we won't even use it ?" console. Also if a hacker know already found out about the specifications of the WiiU how about someone actually trying to benchmark it and comparing it to a PS3/Xbox 360 ? I assume the WiiU's fps is lower because Nintendo doesn't focus on that market.
Given that both next gen consoles are rumoured to be using AMD APU's... I expect Wii U to be blown the fuck away.

[QUOTE=The Baconator;38641434]I will never understand brand loyalty and commercialism[/QUOTE] Neither will I, but in the case with console's it seems to me more like the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_costs#Loss_aversion_and_the_sunk_cost_fallacy"]sunk cost fallacy.[/URL] "I payed money for this so my choice was better, because I don't want to be wrong."
[QUOTE=The Baconator;38641434]I will never understand brand loyalty and commercialism[/QUOTE] I own every single Nintendo console and I love them all, but I've never once thought about comparing consoles to each other or too a pc because why does it matter? If I have fun playing a game on a system which is vastly underpowered then that system succeeded in what it set out to do and this goes for all games consoles. It's unfair to compare by specs because if you enjoy using it and have a good experience it doesn't matter in the slightest.

Because Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mirror's Edge (random titles I just thought off the top of my head) are all rehashes and generic shooters 'mrite?
[QUOTE=The Baconator;38641434]I will never understand brand loyalty and commercialism[/QUOTE] Me neither, it's far too lacking in reality for me. I'd rather look at what is available and weigh it up for myself than become a consumer whore.
There's a lot worse things with that console than the clock speed Graphically it's competing with PS3 and 360 just like Wii was competing with PS2 and Xbox. Games-wise most likely once the next gen comes out they'll be stuck in the exact same position, the same games they've had for three decades with a terrible third party.
It's going to be exactly like the wii, Nintendo will be the only company that actually develops properly for it.

Sure I would love to play Red Dead Redemption some day and I have no 360 but I other games are fun too. I just try to avoid this kind of entitlement to a certain game and work with what I have and that is a Wii.
The gpu has does about 700gflops,while the x360 does about 240gflops and the ps3 about 400 gflops. Don't stare so blindly at those cpu specs people. Oh and a GTX680 does about 3100 gflops ;)
