Rumored Tech Specs Give Wii 2 More Power Than Xbox 360

Wall of useless text.

Your whole post lost credibility when you wrote that Sony and MS push consoles forward while Nintendo doesn't do anything beside scamming people for their "shit".

I HATE wannabe gamers who know only to ***** about Nintendo for being creative and not having some l33t gr4phixz. More and more gamers forget the most important thing about games. NO IT'S NOT GRAPHIC. The feelings that it awakes in the player. The story it tells us, the feelings it weakens up in us... the whole impact it makes on us. Every Nintendo game is a great game, and no one who can be objective can disagree with this.

And now we've come full circle, with you being so incapable of admitting you are wrong, that you will instead try in vain to make the argument about something else. So we'll end it here before you can once again move the goalposts and make it so the PC is superior to the Ps3 because it has antivirus software while the Ps3 does not. This is as close as you will ever come to admitting you are wrong, so this is as far as we can go.

So you refused to quote, and hope it goes away? When i repeated shown you that you are wrong? If the PS3 is so great, It would run Crysis 1 but it didn't. Hell, you keep going on about games and when i shown you games AND the extra evidence of PC's capability you just say "you are wrong" without evidence backing up your claim. I brought my evidence, where is your evidence? You provided none.

You are not right, you just brought in opinions and conjecture without an actual basis. In the words of science and the many (overly skeptical) cynics, "Evidence or you are wrong."

You know the old saying "ignorance is bliss"?
Well, looks like that's his motto. People in general like to ignore evidence that proves them wrong, don't look at all facts, but only on those they like. Now to all of that add the anonymity of the internet and viola.... ignorance at its worst.

It can have all the tech in the world, but if it's gonna be used to run some simple ass tennis game with some shitty avatar or some Mario game with simple graphics what's the point?

Um...k? I would really hope the next generation would have better graphics than the previous one.

You mean like the person who decided to ignore everything about Killzone 3 despite his ignorance up to and including never having actually played it?

Who was that again? Oh right. You.

Yeah right.
And the fact that Battlefield 3 is created mainly for the PC so that it can be later DOWNSCALED so that it can even run on consoles proves that consoles are better the PC?
Or does this video of BF3 on the PC proves anything to you?

And even that game won't get the most out of the last gen hardware.

I just don't see how can something with a far inferior hardware be better in reproducing games then PC's who are now 5+ generation above consoles?

And to answer 1 question you asked. Why aren't PC games looking better then console games?
Because of the consoles. Yup that's the short answer. Need the long one?
Because games are made for the consoles, while later on ported to the PC with just rescaled textures. How can something look better on a PC if it's the same game as the one on consoles, just ported? A game that is made mainly for the PC will look 20 times better then the one made for the console. Only problem is that it's easier to make a bad looking game and then just port it to a PC without improving it, than to make a great looking game and then downscale it for consoles. It's far more cost-effective to make weaker games and NOT upgrade them, then to make better games, but then downgrade them.

A triple core? Really? Dear god.

EDIT: Woo, 4500th post!

More than a 360

So? I'd be very, very suprised if it wasn't.

Could any tech heads maybe do a comparison of these specs vs the 360

ATI R700 GPU - These are the GPU's found on your ATI 47XX-48XX series cards. One such example would be to look at the best consumer card that falls under this, the 4870. The 4870 is marginally better than a 9800GT, and the 9800GT was popular(as a high-end card) around the 360's release.

So yeah, a little more powerful than a 360's a fair bet.

That being said, there's way too much that hasn't been properly revealed to assess it properly, 512 megs of RAM is pretty shit no matter which way you cut it, most current PC games need more to run than that without frequent loading screens.

Tri-core CPUs were in the 360, good to see it's in the Wii2 also.

This console will not be known for its graphics, I can assure you.

Okay, I distinctly remember that, around Crysis release that the 8800GT was the hot item. Not that 9800GT.

They're the same card. As in, I could even flash an 8800 BIOS onto my old 9800 and there wouldn't be a lick of difference. Literally identical cards.

So why do they have different names?

Because then they could sell it again. Honestly, it's the same card, I swear on my life.

Also: people are overly passionate about these things, look at the level of anger 2 posts up!?

Come on, Nintendo. "Slightly more powerful than a 360"? By 2012, the next gen Xbox will be like a miniature R2-D2 on steroids in terms of power (I also assume that these R2-D2 Xboxes will be the harbinger of doom on December 21, 2012)
