Recent details have been slipping out about Nintendo's new console, the Wii-U. As it seems, they put about as much effort into making it the most powerful system of this generation of console (7 years after it's started) as they did into naming the damn thing. At last years E3, Nintendo was talking big about how powerful the system would be compared to the PS3 and 360, even saying it would be more powerful than both, but recent leaks from developers working on games for it are setting the record straight. CVG's report says that games will look just as good as the two current generation consoles, but not better. The other big thing to note is that the processing power is actually lower than Sony and Microsoft's 6 and 7 year old machines. The anonymous developer says that the physics and AI would actually take a hit. This seems to be Nintendo's strategy in recent years, with the exception of the briefly impressive 3DS screen. Find exceptionally old technology to make a cheap system that you can sell cheaply and keep pumping out the same old nostalgia games so people will instantly be giving them a profit.
It just cracks me up honestly, especially since there are also rumblings of Sony and Microsoft's next grown up systems coming next year. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo ends up really successful off of this, because people keep eating up that gimmick bullshit.
