Nintendo Power: ''Wii-U more powerful than PSVita.''

Kazuo Hirai: Ridge Racerrrrr!

lol! So how do they know all this? They've got moles in the Microsoft tech labs?
Everything is subject to revision, even the PS4 and Wii-U.

Next gen console wars to be like a season of 24 confirmed.

So the PS4 is gonna use Vitas memory cards?


Oh and btw, what's that other console that has excessively over priced memory storage? Oh yeah, the 360. No problems there, worked out just fine.

Worked out fine because most people bought the more expensive version until the arcade(and internal storage) came out.

Weren't a whole lot of people buying the expensive 360 memory options, some of the old NPD threads have accessory sales in them.

Like it even matters. Whichever one is more powerful will be gimped down to the other 90% of the time anyway.

It would matter.

360 and PS3 were around equally powerfull with the 360 having the better GPU und a slightly better memory solution while the PS 3 had the better CPU.

But lets say Xbox 720 will only have the rumored 2GB of RAM and PS4 will go with 3 or 4GB, that would give Sony a significant advantage. Digital Foundry could be shut down because they wouldn`t be needed anymore; even lazy devs couldn`t mess up with that much more memory to play around.

PS4 versions would win out. That wouldn`t be a 360/PS3 situation.
 
Next gen will be fun. Anyway, never believe in early rumors. Not only are they usually wrong in itself, those reporting them never understand them to begin with.

Nintendo is using a blu ray drive without paying for a movie playing license for the Wii U (like they used a bog standard DL dvd drive in the Wii but didn't pay the movie playback license to save dough).

Microsoft will be using a blu ray drive too, though I bet they'll pay the movie playing license.

It would be like PS2 versus Xbox. Cross-platform titles looked similar enough but usually had better AA, textures, geometry and shader effects.

You also had some "wow" titles that had more resemblance to next-gen stuff and only worked on Xbox, like Halo, Black, and Doom 3. I guess those are kind of comparable to PS3 having exclusive graphical powerhouses like Uncharted and Killzone?

thank god Sony has all those studios...and I believe MS started funding new studios as well, but besides that one team, i think the others are for Kinect like games...but at least they will have their own look.

Not even close.

While Uncharted, Gow3 and such are amazing-looking title, and probably the best for consoles, the 360 is capable of similar achievements. Look at Gears 3 or even games like Banjo N&B.

There was nothing on ps2 that could even get close to NG2, Halo, Doom 3, HL2, etc.
 
I was happy that the PS3 and Xbox 360 ended up roughly the same, power-wise.

Even the best looking PS3 exclusives never felt a generation beyond the 360 to me. With a handful of original Xbox games it really did feel significantly beyond the PS2. Chaos Theory looked nuts, and hell Soul Calibur 2 was 720p at 60fps!

Sort of, but I wouldn't say the best-looking PS3 games are significantly better looking than stuff like Gears and cross-platform titles such as Arkham City.

Oh I didn't realize that.
 
Afrikan said:
yeah, but their system is not going to play BluRay movies right?

will Microsoft do the same...or will it be a BluRay Movie player as well. How much more would that cost them? or would it be a personal business decision to leave out BluRay movie playing.
Click to expand...

Microsoft wants Xbox to be your ultimate entertainment box in the living room. No way will the leave out playing BluRay movies. That would be beyond stupid.
(Not that they haven't made many stupid decisions in the past, though)
 
Whatever happened to those new discs with hundreds of gigs that were supposed to be compatible with existing BD drives? Those would be sweet.

The hard drives are still overly expensive.

I live for this shit.
 
Yes, the Playstation Magazine reports that the next Playstation is gonna be the most powerful console next-gen.

Next, the OXM will say the same thing for the Xbox 720 and Nintendo Power the same for the Wii U.
 
The console should be balanced, but I hope they go with a powerful GPU this time. It would be nice to see someone really push the bar specs wise, at least, the leap should be big enough.

Remember when everyone was hyped about Vita and then memory card prices came to light?

Yeah because accessory prices was the point he was discussing not system prices right? Unless you mean how Sony ruined some of the appeal by the expensive MC prices in which case I agree.

I doubt even NP would go that far. They'd probably say it matches the other two or something to that tune.
 
Suddenly I'm reminded of the run up to the PS3 launch.

1080p 120fps to two displays for all!

But seriously, I'm fully expecting the same bullshit and bluster from those waiting to release towards those who already have. That goes for (likely) 720 vs Wii U and PS4 vs 720.
 
So it means that we need to have 3 jobs now to pay for the console with all the economy recession and all, good luck to that Sony...
 
MORE POWERFUL != Easier to develop for.


Personally, the one that will straddle that fine line of being really powerful and easy to develop for will win that next gen.

Hyped for e3.
 
The power to fun ratio is very important in home video game consoles. PS4 has a 50/50 shot of being more fun than the next Xbox.
 
I'm not sure it's going to matter which is the most powerful. It's probably going to be very difficult and take a massive budget to actually max out any of the next gen consoles i would think.

That depends on if the platform holders are providing good enough tools.
