Wii U less powerful than PS3 according to developers

According to the developers at Nintendo, the Wii U will not be as powerful as the PS3, XBOX 360 or the PS Vita. Most guess it will be similar to the PSP, with a HD screen for added sharpness. Still a few years behind technologically, which seems to be a trend for Nintendo recently.

"No, it's not up to the same level as the PS3 or the 360, the graphics are just not as powerful."

This comes as a disappointment to many Nintendo fans, who thought the Wii U would be able to match the PS Vita in some forms, or at least be close graphically, as many people thought the Nintendo DS was a 'kids toy' and wanted a proper, professional handheld console.

Many people thought that they would be buying a console technologically and graphically ahead of the ageing 6-7 year old XBOX 360 and PS3, but obviously they were wrong. It looks like this handheld will be geared yet again, to family and children.

What do you guys think about this? I think Nintendo has passed its technological prime, and now, rightly, should be pursuing family and kids classics on a relatively low cost system.

Post below and as always,
Have a nice day.

Kind of a disappointment to me. I don't plan on purchasing it, but I thought Nintendo was at least going
to give Microsoft and Sony a couple hard jabs in terms of competition. :\

Nintendo used to be the shit but now they are terrible with their consoles

Nintendo is for little kids. That's why it "used to be the shit" as said above, because we used to be little kids.

Nintendo being better than Sony/Microsoft. :ha!:

To be fair, its main target market is small kids/families, and graphics isn't particularly important to them.

Nintendo was built for families and Sony and Microsoft are for individuals of their likings

If the release of the Wii U is anything like the release of the 3DS, Nintendo will be in alot of trouble. When the 3DS was released, I can remember that the sales were terrible and Nintendo were forced to drop the price by a big margin.

I think Nintendo are really gambling here.

i havent played a Nintendo system since the 64 and dont plan on it either

Only reason I still have a wii is cause it's jailbroken lol.

mfw Wii beats all consoles and 3DS beats portable consoles.


On Topic: Kind of obvious it wouldn't have the power of a PS3... The Wii U is kind of just a controller with a screen. People literally expected it to have the power of a PS3? Anyways, I can't wait for it to come out. It seems like a really cool addition to my Wii
