Wii U 'is 50% more powerful than PlayStation 3'

The Wii U will be over 50% more powerful than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, according to a report.

Developers have said that Nintendo's new console would be significantly more powerful than current generation systems.

"Some of the developers we spoke to indicated to us that the console will have 50% more processing power compared to the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360," Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia told Industry Gamers.

It was added that such claims on the Wii U from developers has "yet to be confirmed by Nintendo".

Titles such as Batman: Arkham City and Metro: Last Light, which will be released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, have been confirmed for the Wii U.

Wii U's technical specifications were released shortly after its E3 announcement, confirming full HD capability and custom-made Blu-ray discs.

The Wii U will be available worldwide in 2012.
Intriguing. I didn't know that they were using Blu-Ray.

Finally looked at it properly today in ICT. Looks nice. :amazed:

It may be more powerful but I hope they put decent features into it.

Iceman 14-06-2011 04:05 PM

Im not sure about it at all on first look.

Most people wont care, it looks too much like a little add on for the Wii to sell enough, when they discover the price too, they'll be like

How much are they?

Mystic Mock 14-06-2011 04:19 PM

I hope it doesnt have all the glitches that the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 games had though due to rushing them out.

Scarlett. 14-06-2011 04:19 PM

They've not revealed it yet, but they said it "wont be cheap"

Doogle 14-06-2011 04:21 PM

I'm expecting no less than £250.

Tom4784 14-06-2011 04:22 PM

I've heard around £250, if so that's nearly the same as PS3/360. I think this one will be a lot more accessible for real games. The controller is a step in the right direction in comparison with the Wiimote and it looks like they are promoting the classic controllers over it as well. The 3rd Party support is impressive, I just hope they manage to keep hold of it this time.

Niall 14-06-2011 04:56 PM

I'm still torn between whether I wanna get one of these or a PSVita. :sad:

Doogle 14-06-2011 05:02 PM

I was gonna get:

This birthday-3DS
Christmas-PSV
15th Birthday-Wii U

But PSV doesn't come out here till after Christmas, whereas NA and Japan get it this year. :bored:

And idk when Wii U comes out :laugh:

Tom4784 14-06-2011 06:07 PM

I'll get myself a Ps3 and a 3DS this year I think, If the vita continues to impress me then I'll get one next year.

Rob 14-06-2011 06:08 PM

Yeah I'm sure.

Nintendo is a company devoted to little girls and young gays - not real gamers.

Yeah and that won't be until 2014 so...

Stu 25-06-2011 12:50 PM

We are talking strictly processing power here in which case the article is still dubious. But it's the 21st century and the thing is still using flash memory, for christ sake. A hard drive will impact everything.

A processor relies heavily on all the other components. Who knows how much of that processor is devoted simply to bouncing the picture back and forth from the screen thingy to the TV.

Niall 25-06-2011 12:55 PM

It doesn't come with an hard drive? How the **** do Nintendo expect to sell DLC then? *******. :bored:

Is PSVita out yet? I'm watch reviews of that - and see what the games are like for it.

If they released Heavy Rain for it then I'ma buy it, but then again the 360 couldn't handle HR so I doubt it.

My Brother is like a bint so he's getting the Wii U - so I'ma get get this Vita thing, but I bet once we all buy it, Sony will reveal a Portable Xbox or something that I could of spent my money on.
