I own an xbox360 and wii and I've been doing some research on the Wii U, scratch that, a lot of research and it seems to have hardware capabilities beyond if not equal to those of ps3 and xbox360. It was rumored to have a 768mb ram whereas ps3 and xbox both have 512s. Also some new games are going to be released that have not previously been associated with nintendo like:
Assassins creed
GTA 5
Batman AC etc...
but this just goes to show that developers now see a nintendo console which is at least an equal to the ps3 and xbox360 and many of you may think "well, it is actually a bit late to compete with ps3 and xbox360 because they are probably working on new consoles". I think this is not accurate because it takes time to develop a new console and xbox released the slim 2 years ago so it would probably take microsoft about another 3 years before they announce the next. Can not say the same for ps3.
It's controller also brings in all sorts of capabilities. Imagine playing fallout and the wii u remote was your pip-boy. It would bring an interesting turn in events and there is also the fact that assassins creed will introduce motion controls at the very least. I know there are a lot of haters out there that will probably say "motion controls are for stupid non hardcore gamers" or anything along those lines but I think it will be an interesting turn of events. During the Assassin's creed III interview, they revealed that they already own a Wii U and they stated (or was it someone else) that no console can do what the Wii U can do and that it was fun of all sorts. Overall I think people think wrong when they say the Wii U will suck. Ok I admit when I say the Wii was not all that but that only applies to non exclusive games but this could be the point where nintendo can go head to head with the other consoles having some really interesting games on an interesting console. Did I miss anything? Let's have your thoughts and if you can bring any information into this other then that "Developer" who said that the Wii U was less capable then the current consoles.
