heh i call bullshit on that sir.
sony wouldnt allow it, graphics are all they have.
now now, inFAMOUS, LittleBigPlanet, Modnation Racers, and all that are actually really good...
I'd take LittleBigPlanet over Halo ANY day...
just sayin, if you're gonna bash a console for not having ANYTHING, bash the 360.

PS3>360 on graphics
Wii/PS3>360 on exclusives
PS3>360 on online
Wii/PS3>360 on reliability
Wii/PS3>360 on motion controls

Well this is rather upsetting. I doubt Nintendo can fill the demans of "Hardcore" gamers and "Casual" gamers. Nintendo is a business and realized the gaping hole(no pun Intended) in the market for a console aimed at "Soccer" Moms .

sooo, its a fancy GameBoy? that wirelessly connect's to a hunk of metal and plastic, whilst using a 7 inch screen instead of whatever size and quality your own TV is.

hmm, if this is the case I will give it a miss.

Wow, another heavily opinionated Fanboy.

I'm getting sick of this shit.

Graphics: Maybe...
Exclusives: Maybe...
Online: No.
Reliability: Yes.
Motion Controls: Definitely not.

Just Sayin'.

They want me to by another entire console for this gimick!?!?! And it will only look like a PS360? (I am not scandalized that they used footage from those systems... I just think them stupid.)...I'm looking for true Gen 8.
The GPU on that is based on Radeon 4xxx series, so that's 3 video card generations ahead of 360/PS3 and 2 behind newest gen PC's.
Not that much behind if you ask me.
Thanks, more on this below:

You are trolling right?

... i'm calling it right now that the gap will end up being akin to the PS2 and GC).
Nope, not trolling, just uninformed and misunderstood this thread. I'm now a little excited by this. The difference between PS2 and GC was pretty substantial. Sounds like they just shot themselves in the foot a little by underselling what we might expect from this system by showing PS3 footage.

Sorry for assuming tolling Gorfias, E3 with new hardware I just prefer to accuse and apologise later due to the crazy that's going on.

It seems that devs have had the alpha devkits for about 6-8 weeks pre-E3 with some not getting them at all which would explain the lack of footage/games being shown.

One major exception to this is that Vigil ported Darksiders 2 over in 5 weeks and without any optimisation (ie. just getting the code to run on the hardware at all) it's already at PS/360 level. By the time it comes out it will probably be rendered at a natural 1080p60fps with some AA instead of 720p30fps with none that the other consoles will get. Assets won't be different so textures will look the same but the overall game will look cleaner and smoother.
Nintendo told them that they couldn't show finished games on the show floor though which i'll say was lolworthy though since the only Wii-u game we got to see was GR:O which is a downloadable title that's online only and rumours say will only be $10 so we can't expect that to be a showcase for the system.

As far as development it'll go with the Wii-u becoming lead platform with downports to PS3/360 till the other two release their offerings where unless they release in mid-late 2015 the jump in capabilities won't be significant enough for the Wii-u to not get all the multiplats despite the PS2-GC type gap that'll exist.

There's still a year until the Wii U comes out, says Nintendo, but its games will look just as good as the Xbox 360.
Woohoo, Nintendo's next console is going to look as good as a system released 6 years ago.

Crack the champagn.

Pretty exciting stuff. If memory serves, SNES followed Sega Genesis, N64 followed PS1, Cube followed PS2, Wii followed 360. Whoda thunk Nintendo would be the lead in Gen 8?
