Nah, more capable than ps3/x360 look carefully, what's more impressive is this is from a early dev kit, the dev kits have been upgrading ever since then and is more powerful according to developers.
What? I said it's more capable than X360/PS3, which it is. Where did I say it's a giant leap compared to them, it can do what those consoles do but much better as with better lightening and textures.I still don't see how it looks like such a big leap from the stuff I've played on my Xbox 360. It looks great but it's not that definitive "next gen" that people expect. It's not a N64-to-Gamecube or Xbox-to-Xbox 360. As I said before, it looks like a Gamecube-to-Wii type of transition.
I just really feel that, in terms of graphical power, the next generation is falling in place a lot like the last one. Like here's my observations about the current generation:So far...
- The Xbox 360 and PS3 are gigantic steps forward from the Xbox and PS2
- The Wii is a minor step up from the last generation but not by much
- Nintendo's handheld looks slightly more powerful than the console generation two generations ago (N64/PSX)
- Sony's handheld looks about as good as the previous generation (PS2/Gamecube/Xbox), sometimes less and sometimes more (usually less but there are exceptions)
We're just missing one piece.
- The Wii U is a minor step up from the last generation but not by much
- Nintendo's handheld looks slightly more powerful than the console generation two generations ago (PS2/Gamecube/Xbox)
- Sony's handheld looks about as good as the previous generation (Xbox 360/PS3), sometimes less and sometimes more (currently less because it just launched).

Why did this even make front page?
Anonymous sources say something negative about the Wii U's power. So?
We get that a thousand times a day on internet forums - random anonymous dudes saying something negative about a certain thing as if it was fact. Without even trying to deliver any sort of proof.
Anyone who has something negative to say about a certain thing and prefers to remain anonymous while doing so is not the slightest bit trustworthy.
This is classed as front page news? Two people contradicting what logic and at least 10 other sources state? I call BS

Hmm..
Wii - slightly more powerful than XBOX/PS2 but not by much.
3DS - slightly more powerful than PSP but not by much.
Wii U - slightly more powerful than 360/PS3 but not by much.
Anyone seeing a pattern here. Perhaps it is not all that silly. It does not seem to be hurting their sales or popularity much.
Putting them to shame doesn't mean generation leap, it's like comparing the xbox to ps2, Xbox was more capable in every way, better textures and everything else.What? I said it's more capable than X360/PS3, which it is. Where did I say it's a giant leap compared to them, it can do what those consoles do but much better as with better lightening and textures.
You said it "puts them to shame" which is to imply it's a lot more powerful.
Also I don't exactly find it a huge achievement to have a console slightly more powerful than 6 and 7 year old tech.
I thought we also covered that lighting tech is pretty advanced nowadays that a lot of the consoles can produce great lighting effects. The 3DS can produce excellent lighting even being the graphical underdog this generation.
I thought the textures in the demo looked as good as anything with attention to detail nowadays.
rumors are not news
Putting them to shame doesn't mean generation leap, it's like comparing the xbox to ps2, Xbox was more capable in every way, better textures and everything else.
With the latest dev kits being more powerful really excites us to see how much they have improved on the hardware since E3 last year.
Not this goddamnLol,
Mario, Metroid, Zelda, etc, etc....
It is said by anonymous sources that next gen PS4 and XBOX720 will not have these characters.
Therefore probably will not be on par with current quality of games.
This comes somewhat as a surprise, as ALL current gen innovations are being copied to the next generation.
e.g. motion controls.
ALSO TREU.
Who cares about specs? It's not a goddamn PC.
I'm just going to say we've posted rumors as rumors on the front page before with no complaints. The difference here is that not everyone wants to hear what this one has to say.
I don't understand why people put an equals sign between higher specs and graphics power. Wii and the DS prove that greatly lacking specs result in releasing games that look as if they just rolled out of a time machine and realized they're in the future, games with very limited AI and physics, not just graphics. I can say that you play your 3DS more than your Vita because the 3DS currently has more games since it was released earlier however this state of matters is subject to change in the nearby future. If specs weren't important at all, gaming would just stop evolving at the level of Atari's.I don't understand why people get mad when anybody say that A brand has more graphics power than B brand. Wii and DS prove to us that graphics power does not mean fun games. I can say that because I have a "weak" 3DS and a "powerful" vita, I play my 3DS much, and much more than I play my vita, so, graphics is important, but not that much.
(I hate to say this, but, look at the sales numbers).
