So that doesn't make sense, but it makes sense for you to call old technology next gen because of when they release it?
If thats the case, I got a next gen Amiga I wanna sell you :deadmanny:


I don't think he does. See, tunnel vision means no vision bruh
I hear you, just quoted you. Here is my reply to that.
What nintendo is doing has never been done before. Yet your using the normal way of how things are done and applying it to what nintendo is DOING
See, if they rereleased the N64, according to your logic, its a next gen system at this point
Oh wait, it wouldn't be a new system because it would be a rerelease?
Ok, then instead of calling it the N64, I'll call it the Wii-2 and I'll add a new controller so Hex and Winb can be satisfied :snoop:

If the innards was something new, of course. And if they are repackaging the same old tech they already sold you with a minor upgrade? Its not NEXT gen. What type of backwards moving foward bullshyt is this? Just cuz a guy in a shiny suit tells you its next gen doesn't mean you can't use your own brain to see that its not.

:ufdup:
Next generation literally means the generation that succeeds the current generation. It doesn't mean technical specs that make the previous generation seem obsolete.

everybody keeps shytting on the controller as a gimmick but its actually dope. the box might have weaker specs, but the controller is on some next shyt because its something that hasnt *really* been done yet. so id say its next gen by either definition tbh. i implore you all to demo that joint

Exactly

nikkas think next gen = better internal specs

They brought something new to the table that as far as I know hasnt been done before so how is it not next gen?

Im not saying its a good system but Its definitely a next gen system

Embarrassing specs aside, Wii U is's library is inferior ports of last-gen games and outright children's games. It's not acceptable for a grown man to buy this for himself.

Marcan states the Wii U’s tri-core PowerPC 750-alike CPU clocks in at exactly 1.243125GHz. For comparison, the CPUs of the Xbox 360 (also tri-core) and PlayStation 3 run at around 3.0GHz each. The Wii U’s GPU core clocks in at 549.999755MHz, compared to the Xbox 360′s 550MHz GPU. He noted that the CPU was similar to the Wii’s Broadway, but with more cache. Unfortunately, Marcan didn’t provide specifics as to how he obtained the numbers, saying that he’d rather not talk about his methods as of yet. However, he did say that it involved hacks as opposed to leaked information.



Here’s where it may get a little depressing, depending on what you’ve come to expect from Nintendo nowadays. The original Wii’s PowerPC-based Broadway CPU was clocked at 729MHz, and the GPU at 243MHz. Like with the Wii U, Nintendo didn’t release these numbers themselves. So, the Wii U’s CPU clock speed increased by less than double, whereas the GPU increased by a little more than double — numbers that some gamers might not be too thrilled about when they’re packed into what is supposed to be a “next-gen” system. There are three cores in the Wii U CPU, though, as opposed to the single core in the original Wii.

Nintendo has never been known for making a system that is very costful in spec's they stopped with the SUPERNES and N64 with that aspect. They actually just build systems better than there last one, not from a Console standpoint but upgrading from a Nintendo standpoint. I mean they are High definition now 1080p so in lamen terms they have entered the next Gen. But the framerate this machine can do is another question because they are saying the Xbox8 and Ps4 testkit's are doing 60fps easy and rumors are saying that PS4 can even do 4K Ultra High which is higher than 1080p and the 4K Ultra High TV's aren't even out in the wild yet. so this is interesting stuff indeed.

Interesting so the Wii U processing power is basicly on Xbox 360 range or less in the CPU number game department, but the Ram of the system is 2 Gig's memory but 1 for Gaming and the other for OS, but the lag of the system could be the controller streaming heavy activity that could be the reason for the slow load time between the system and controller and could also be the reason you only can use 1 controller on the system at a time.

P.S I don't believe SONY will go this route the Xbox8 and PS-4 will be alot more powerful probably around 8 Gigs of RAM in them just for memory. I believe WII-U is a post system upgrade system not a full leap into a new nintendo product basicly like the DS 3DS 3DS LX type upgrades go. Unless Nintendo has a fast trick up they're sleeve and believe they can juice more out of this system than examiners can see in theory. I mean maybe Nintendo has another idea that we don't know about and hasn't released the hidden power of this machine or it could just be a 1.5 WII that gives it the ability to function on current GEN tech with a slightly upgrade to it putting them in the high definition ballgame.

Its not a good look when Games like Black Ops II and Assassins Creed III play better on PS3/360 than they do on a new system like Wii U tho


but it doesn't matter still gonna cop a Wii U when the price drops and eat off free games once its hacked

theres virtually no reason why the original Wii shouldn't have been an HD system


Especially considering the fact that some PS2 games like Gran Turismo 4 could run on 1080p


Nintendo has always been on some other sh1t


N64 was the last time they were considered serious contenders amongst so called "elite" gamers

Well those games would actually work better off 360/PS3 because they was built around those and probably just ported over to the WII-U, you see what it seems like to me Nintendo wanted a Wii-ish machine that could also port all the titles that Nintendo fan's was missing from the current library of this Gen and probably some of next Gen.. Basicly a machine that could handle the transfering of the current games available without much altercation and also giving them a high definition label as well.

The Nintendo PeeU! is very unimpressive to me and that's from a past Nintendo stan. I really could care less about it and don't even feel like copping one. The WiiU gamepad thing is alright but not really something I haven't seen.

So far the 3DS and PeeU! hasn't garnered interest in me enough to go out and cop one.

when it comes to technology, next gen means newer technology thats suppose to be superior to the last. some of yall are trying to be extremly technical when you know it doesnt work like that in the tech world. its a buzz word all tech companies use to push their product.
Thank you

Next gen shyt :usure:
I can do the exact same thing with Xbox Smartglass. Smartglass was an software update
What that means is you could add that type of update to an xbox.. or a ps3 :leon:
Or even a wii or a wii-u. So while your going "Wooooow, a tablet that can't do shyt real tablets do :ahh:"
I can right now have what is the MAIN FEATURE of the wii-u, on my xbox

Doesn't this seem familiar? We didn't see this same story 5yrs ago :what:
Its an old system, with a new controller. If thats all it takes to achieve "next gen status" then my xbox360 is now a next gen system because I have SmartGlass enabled :smugdraper:
Next generation literally means the generation that succeeds the current generation. It doesn't mean technical specs that make the previous generation seem obsolete.
Bruh, why you keep repeating that like if we didn't hear you say that the first 100x :stopitslime:
Thats usually how it works. And when the next gen comes, we get next gen systems.
Nintendo knows they can't compete, so they trying some slick shyt
Nobody was thrilled with the idea, but we gave it a shot last gen

shyt FLOPPED

And I know you was one of the main dudes championing "Look at the sales of the system" while totally ignoring the fact nobody gave a fukk about the wii
Once the writing was on the wall, nintendo moved on. They sold way more systems than the competition, why would they move on if everything was all good :wtf:

See, the shyt you ignore. They can't. Now they tryna fluke us again. I'd appreciate it if you stopped that my nikka. Recognize the system for what it is. A last gen system with a tablet that is less capable than a Slyvania $40 tablet. But since there is a tablet, and it just came out? Welcome Next GEN :blessing:

Uh, where'd you get that lie from bruh :laff:
Ain't no ps2 game running in HD nothin. You must be thinking of that GT4 remake that got scrapped?
Ok... 1080i was the max, but it wasn't true 1080i either. Most couldn't tell the difference between that and 480p modes...

Point still stands resolution was 1080i on PS2 (i honestly can't tell the difference whether a P or i is next to it anyway)

Wii coulda been putting out 1080i games also

I heard that From Nintendo, they couldn't make the original Wii into a PS3 level graphics because they feared that the pricing would be far too high and the public Bias would lean to Sony if they were of a similar price and graphics. It's true, cause if the OG Wii was $4-600 with the launch PS3 price the same, Sony stans and blind buying public would have chosen Sony. They were in a no-win situation there.

Problem is, whatever the next systems that M$ and Sony gonna drop, they can't make some super powered machine that takes 5-6 years to make a profit, cause they will lose too much money to recoup. We reached a point in graphics where it rivals reality. What more do you want out of graphics, short of virtual reality?

I think that's why Microsoft is testing that $99 Xbox 360 plan. I'm sure they would love to come in with a $300 option. Hell many people only play online so it could be a major hit. I'm sure Sony is planning something similar with psn+ and the ps4

Launching at $500+ will be a mistake
