"Im sorry in advance this might take long this is about the next generation of graphics and what you can expect from all 3 consoles and what you shouldnt expect,Some of what I talk about I have already said but I feel giving more detail and really getting down into it and will give videos.
1.The next gen engines are Unreal engine 3(the newest updates for it) Cryengine 3, and Frostbite 3. First you make say well these can already run on the consoles we have now ???? While the word run is as far as you can go these engines have been able to run on them but with heavy modification too infact force them to produce lower graphics than they was design for and even than the consoles ex.360/ps3 struggle to being able to run even in the engines gimped state. 2.(Q)What can we expect in the power of the next gen consoles? (A) While that is a interesting question that I can go on and on with But I give a summery you have to be first aware of the price ,the power of the consoles can not go as Crazy high enough for one console to completely over power the others ,my Theory is that the power of each console is going to be close to equal. To give a glimpse at what we can expect on all next gen consoles is this video T.l.i.t.d. WIP update #5 now in !!CRYENGINE 3!! - YouTube This is done in Cryengine 3 one of the big engine of the next generation This is impossible to be done on consoles because of amount of lighting and etc in the video is large the computer running on it was actually lagging badly and that was I believe with AA off. (3) (Q) But if its struggling on that computer how will the consoles run it?? (A) optimisation ,Unlike pc when a dev is working on a game for console he knows all the console he working on are the same (xbox 360 is a xbox 360 no matter who owns it.) so he can work more on it and shine it up better than he can on pc in which he has to consider the differences between each pc. (4)(Q) So what do you think the norm for game graphics of next gen will look like?? (A) The pc version of BF3 that being said optimisation can mean alot in the long run if I was typing this in 2004 and would say the norm for console will be between Far Cry and Doom 3 pc versions and I would be wrong the norm would be alot better than that but that because the devs got better with working with the hardware on each console and that what will happen next gen with Wiiu ,Ps4,xbox 720. This is most of what I have to say without making this into a Series I hope that helps you understand what the next gen will look like on All 3 consoles. Edit I change doom 4 to doom 3 dont know why I was thinking doom 4

Come on Everybody the power of the wiiu compared to the next consoles is going to be less than the vita compared to the 360 the prices will be similar for each of them only differing maybe 80-100 dollars.

When comparing sony to Nintendo (particularly 3DS to Vita) you have to consider the fact that Nintendo has sites like this. Although not every member is an engraved in stone loyal Nintendo customer (some have other systems aswell [me] and some dont own a single nintnedo system) the fact that this atmosphere exists around an entire company, with fans that are practically addicted to thier products, gives Nintendo an edge. I feel Nintendo's fans that made them the video game giant in the 80's and 90's is much smaller but with the Wii they grabbed a whole new generation. They saw that thier bread and butter group of fans has thinned and took a bold move or two to ensure future fans. This involved keeping a quality to thier games that i myself have never seen falter. Nintendo may lose in the major gaming community but they have their own community so... they'll be fine with the WiiU. We've seen multiple times that the weaker hardware can often win (ps2, N64, Wii) and still present incredible games that are worth their time and money. We've also seen very capable consoles lose out at times or even fall completely (Dreamcast R.I.P.) because of a lack of games or quality. ... that settles that. As for the Wii... it had a good run, no matter what some may say i think it had a wonderful library, well worth its time and money. I wouldn't be upset if nothing significant came out of the Wii next year, or ever again. I also don't expect anything to come out of it, from what i've been told (WiiU blog, etc..) Nintendo is putting a very large amount of energy towards the WiiU to prevent another major mistake (they learned a lesson in cockyness after the 3DS launch). They know they can't just say "Look... its got a tablet... buy it" because they will be booed by even their loyalist fans if they have no quality... because they have no games nor support. I expect the Wii to come to an empty end, though im still satisfied. There are a number of wii titles i missed so i could pick those up, and they are trying to deliver on the 3DS front so Nintendo is doing surprisingly well with the situation.

The only reason the Wii difference existed today is because Nintendo reused last gen components that were incompatible of working with next gen engines at the time. The Wii U is using hardware that is capable of scaling assets built around Directx 11 (as according to EA and Crytek, next gen will focus on that). Another thing, the Wii was also lacking in resolution that would eventually become standard (HD). There is no resolution shift coming in the near future so it's safe to say all consoles next gen will output 1080p at max.

That just reminds me of the lonely, forgotten eReader the GBA had. I loved that little thing, with its goofy Mario Party card game, and the Game and Watch cards that never came over to the states. Not to mention swiping cards for 5 minutes just to play an NES game. Still, you were swiping cards, which made it AWESOME.

Need more info and an actual nintendo game trailer to be interested, but hey I love a new nintendo home console. Get's me more excited than handhelds. I stood in line in 6 different stores to get the wii to no avail, and finally had to pay 500 bucks online to get it. Stupid I know, but I really take these hardware launches seriously considering I will be spending 5-6 years with the thing.

I may buy it for myself eventually but right now I'm focusing on the 3DS and potentially the Vita sooo it may be awhile before I decide to get one. I'll definitely be waiting for a price drop and a good deal. Same goes for the Vita.

It's a picture of the Wii U at CES.
Kind of curious why it would be placed next to LG's newest 84 inch OLED tv though.

Why would they want to hook it up to that TV in particular? Company's usually don't advertise other company's products, especially at a trade show like CES.

I remember that screen. It's an old, fanmade "HD Metroid" concept screenie.
I wish we could just see some freakin' games for the thing. I can't care about a device with no games, Nintendo! Remind me; Miyamoto did say that Pikmin 3 is coming out on the Wii U, right?

I'm really curious to see if they actually have a decent amount of original titles to display. We've been hearing a lot about ports of what are admittedly great games, but I'd prefer to see something I haven't been playing since November. Pikmin will go a long way to get me excited, but I'd love to see something as crazy and new as the hardware.

It's definitely looking nice, and notice that there are 2 WiiU controllers per system it seems. They're not being used at once but I noticed one of the guys is using a 2 screen split screen game and he's using a WiiU controller. Makes me wonder what the other guy is using! O.o

Nintendo Wii U video walkthrough: Chase Mii, Battle Mii, the Zelda HD experience, and more! | The Verge
Some tech demos (Same as E3) but you can see the game mechanics and control options better, along with more insight into the Zelda HD demo. The biggest thing (As i feared) was the inclusion of a resistive single touch display. But hey, it may keep costs down and keep the price between $300-350

I loved the people faking excitement and fun when playing the demos.
But pretty good video, does a good job of showing the capabilities of the system. I had never seen that ultra-cool Tokyo demonstration or that you could change the time between day and night in real time, as well as switch the main action between the TV and the tablet screen. There's hope for Nintendo but they need to show all of that off so much better at E3, and they're going to need a better design. This tablet looks so big and childish, it really is ugly in my opinion. |

Wait, what about that rumor saying that Nintendo was trying to get some stuff from the App Store converted to the Wii U? How could they get a bunch of the App Store games running at all without multi-touch?

I saw a feature on a technology programme recently which was demoing some touch responsive screens, I don't remember what they were calling it but it was basically a touch screen, just like the iphone etc, but you can actually feel a click response when you press it. Even double clicking and de-clicking can apparantly be felt in the fingertips from a flat screen. It would be good if that was available for the WiiU, and Nintendo picked up on it, but I doubt that will happen.
WiiU2 maybe?

First off I will start by saying Wii U is a bad idea. I think the controller will be expensive, and that will make the system expensive. If they do not have multiplayer with these controllers, it will also be complete fail.
HOWEVER, if they do indeed make a Zelda that looks like what they showed in that video, and make Wii U backwards compatible, I may pick one up anyway. I'm sure some of you guys on here know my weak point in resisting Nintendo is Zelda... and to be able to play 3 Zelda games I haven't played on one system would probably worth the purchase. Though, this is assuming I don't beat the other 2 on my .. nevermind.

$300 would be fine. The contoller can't be that cheap, but I don't think we've gotten any confirmation you can even use a second one, so it may not be an issue.
It will be interesting to see If PS3 + Vita get any ports, since it can basically do the same thing.

I certainly don't claim to know :P. Just guessing, about as good as anyone can do, including Patcher.
I would have thought Vita would have sold like hot cakes in Japan already.

Now this how it can expand on the Wii's install base. Since theory above they shift most of those casual gamers over to it while pulling in a completely new audience to add to those numbers, the hardcore audience. With it having better graphics the then PS3 and 360 plus adding practicalities anf even innovation to games through the new controller coupled with a great, flexible online system and I think it can pull that hardcore audience. This mean would having most of the 90 million sales from Wii plus a good chunk of sales the 100 million PS3/360 userbase which adds to together for better sales then the Wii. I'm not saying this will definitely happen but if Nintendo can get all these things right then it can happen and that would mean bigger sales than the Wii. |

What's wrong with using the resistive touch screen? A capacitive multitouch screen isn't really practical when the controller has so many buttons and control sticks. It's like the bottom 3DS screen, you are going to only be using your thumbs on it, not all of your fingers. Plus resistive touch screens are more accurate.
Would something like this be feasible on a capacitive touch screen like an IPad: ![]()

Resistive touch is simply inferior in many ways... it doesn't register most swipes and gestures properly, you can't do drag&drop most of the time. You have to press instead of touch and it just feels less qualitative than a nice glass captouch screen.
The only reason Nintendo chose resistive touch is because it's so much cheaper (there's a reason only inferior low-end Chinese tablets come with resistive screens and every upmarket tablet has capacitive). Also, yes you draw on capacitive tablets without problems, and I use my iPad for writing (notetaking) and sketching every day. A capacitive stylus doesn't cost more than $3 (Universal Touchpad Stylus Pen + Ballpoint Pen for Tablet PC/Cell Phone - Silver - Free Shipping - DealExtreme) and then you can do things like this: SketchBook Pro 2 for iPad - YouTube (Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 2, for iPad) Plenty of my product design colleagues actually do stuff like that on their iPads... ![]() |

I agree that capacitive touch screens have more potential uses, but I don't think that the lack of one is a deal breaker in this situation. Physical buttons takes away some of the need for a capacitive touch screen, in my opinion.

I'm not a big fan of gyro controls- they make me dizzy and off-balance; they really aren't fun for me.
The Wii U controller is gyro controlled, resistant touch-screen, and is quite bulky and awkward. Yup, not a great showing for me.

Then there are games that can REALLY take advantage of it, such as things like sports games where you could actually draw out formations, play strategies, etc. Racing games to use as a rear view mirror. Of course all of these can be used on a regular controller but slower and not as streamlined. Then there are tactical online FPS games that involve directing other team members. There was a game on the PS3 called MAG which would have been PERFECT for the WiiU controller. On there the best you could do was put down points on the map where you wanted people to go. With the touch screen you could actually draw out path ways and directions. It's things like this that I think the controller has the most potential for. Tasks that would just be too cumbersome or take too much time with dual analogues. Also in the game you would call in air strikes but to do so you would have to open up a screen and go through the map to look for your target. The problem was that it took up the whole screen on the TV so you could easily end up getting shanked while trying to get the perfect position. With having all of that on the controller it helps you see what's going on in front of you while still doing more commander type functions. Then of course there are the things that more casual gamers would enjoy such as using the controller for games like chess or other board games. I also gotta say, the idea of being able to watch my favorite shows while playing a console game is freaking AWESOME! |

I always hated having a 2nd screen be taken up by a map, this is exactly why I hated the DS. The 3DS makes up for it by having enough pros for me to ignore it.

The whole "lolgimmickgimmickgimmicklol" is getting OLD. Honestly, the word is so overused now. It's hard to take anyone who uses it seriously.

No. It's the most common word used among trolls and fanboys to deride the console that they do not like. It's been applied to the 3DS, Wii U, PSV, Kinect...

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the memory cards are 'forced' upon you as is the touch screen since the main menu is touch screen compatible only. Is this not true? Wait so how can we expect it for the Vita at launch but not the WiiU when it hasn't even been released? Hmmmm.......something smells like a double standard. |

Touch Screen is standard these days, I also said that didn't I? Having a touch screen for menus is about as common as you can get these days, nothing gimmicky about that.
And the memory card doesn't make any sense because that's hardware storage, it has nothing to do with how you play the game. and just because Wii U will have a gimmick doesn't make it bad, but its still a gimmick, just like the rear touchpad. Gimmick does not = bad, especially when its a bonus or optional.

"Something that is forced upon you and is not the norm could easily be considered a gimmick" Touch screen main menu: *Checks PS3, PSP, 360* Nope, all of those use regular controller controls for the main menu, no touch screen only interface. So it's not in the norm. There is also no alternative so by your logic it can be considered a gimmick. The proprietary memory card may not have to do with gameplay but it's a hardware decision that is forced on you and every game you play and it's is once again not in the norm. Internal storage is the new norm. So again it would count under your understanding of a gimmick. |

You only picked and chose what you wanted, and touch screen interface has been normal awhile now thanks to the DS. Even the game.com had touch menus. You can't just pick and choose what you want. Portable phones, all touch.... so I'd say yeah a good amount of portable devices ( almost all ) these days are touch. The Vita is not a console, you aren't even comparing the right devices.
I'm not responding to your memory card comments because there is no argument to be had. It has nothing to do with what we are talking about. I also had a few posts that covered what could be considered gimmicks, not just one. You need to stop being so defensive, don't act like gimmick is a bad word. That goes for others on here as well.

I'm comparing gaming devices to other gaming devices, I don't see the problem, especially when you're trying to compare a Vita to a phone. Last time I checked it was a hell of a lot closer to a gaming device than a phone. I'm saying that among gaming devices, touch only interface is FAR from normal. There is no argument to be had because according to you a proprietary memory card fits your definition of a gimmick. So I'll say once again, you missed touch screens, back slide pads and proprietary memory cards when you listed all the gimmicks. |

Congrats, you win the you didn't spend all day clarifying for people who can't understand a concept with out it needing to be explained in perfect detail award. And yes, touch controls are still standard on portable devices, which PS Vita is. PS Vita is not a console, it a is a portable device. and of course front and rear touch is a gimmick, a nice optional one, just the way I like it. glad we can agree.

Isn't a gimmick meant to trick the consumer? Like you can only determine it was a gimmick because it ended up being useless and didn't add to the experience.
So how was the wii controller a gimmick? And how is the wii u controller a gimmick? Nintendo isn't tricking people into buying their consoles, that is just how the console works. If you buy an iMac do you consider the wireless keyboard and mouse a gimmick? Or do you consider an electric car a gimmick? What about the controller for any gaming console after the third generation of consoles, do you consider those gimmicks? What about the rumble pack or dual analog? Maybe wireless Internet is a gimmick? Maybe a remote control for a tv is a gimmick. By most of the gimmickers logic all of these things are gimmicks as well. Hmm maybe color tv is a gimmick, or hd resolution.

Hm it just seems like a lot of people are using it in a negative way. And even some of the definitions in dictionaries use gimmick in a negative way.
I don't think innovation is a gimmick. I think innovation is a good thing and a gimmick is something like something that tries to get you to buy the product but doesn't really do much for you. I don't see the wii u controller as a gimmick because my definition of a gimmick doesn't fit it. Added after 2 minutes: But honestly, I'm tired of seeing the word, and obviously everyone disagrees so maybe would could change the subject? Maybe?

Any chance we can go back to talking about the Wii U?
Anyways when it was first revealed I thought meh. But now I'm starting to think of all the interesting ways devs can utilize the controller. I hope they don't just use it to throw a big 'ol map on it and call it a day. Im not 100% convinced, but my interest is piqued. Things I wanna see: 3rd party support, and not just year old ports of games I've already played Good online. No more FC's please. Messaging, voice chat, all that jazz. jRPG's. Don't think any have been revealed, but correct me if I'm wrong. Fighters. Its getting Tekken so it's off to a good start.

I think the PSVita is quite interesting, the touch screen is a nice touch, and the 3D for Nintendo is cool too. I know I'm a hypocrite for having the Wii U a gimmick system, but I believe it's just is trying to do so much. I feel Nintendo is attempting to do too much for one system, and I think it ruins my overall perception of the system.

Some guy who went to CES got some footage of the Tokyo Street demo and the Zelda HD demo, which both feature real-time graphics. Keep in mind that they were made with the underpowered dev kits, and that they're not representative of what the U can really do.

You can use this if you dont like the classic controller pro. Its like a GCN controller, but it'll detect it as a CCP

I don't really get the "cheap feeling" when playing it. No other Nintendo controller has clickable analogs. Being connected to the Wiimote is still better than being tethered to a console, like all the other controllers posted so far.

They shouldn't really reuse a name because a news organization like Fox might think it's just a new model. XD Seriously though, this happens all the time; a console gets a rename months before its launch. The reason the Revolution was named the Wii, I believe, is because of the XBox 360 name.

Tweets about Wii U from investor conference:
-WiiU before xmas, have prepared appropriate titles for launch, WiiU will have NFC* (enabling easy settlement and figurine connection) -The NFC will be planned internationally for easy settlement too -Still planning offering DLC but need more time to do more feasability study on market and needs -WiiU will have individual account system rather than previous per hardware, hence several users per hardware unit -Have built pillar for digital and are now able to take risks. We think once we are done and the bottlenecks are removed we can change perceptions -Digital will include user to user communications and sharing *NFC is assumed to stand for Near Field Communication.
