@electrolite77 Dud you are still comparing Old 2005 tech Gpu to a newer spec 5000 series GPU. The ps3 and Xbox are still direct x9 based no matter what you say . Need for Speed most wanted on wii u looks like the pc version textures effects i seen it with my eyes. ps3 xbox 360 are dated and 2005 old gpus. Cpu speed don't always mean more powerful bro.that even counts on pc computers as well Mega Hertz don't mean faster. Try a old core 2 quad vs a core i7 same speed. Are you tech savy person

@AshFoxX playable Xbox emulation should have been here by now in full XBOX ORIGINAL xeon emulator is sitting it gets no love for code updates like dolphin and pcxe emus still today. What a shame xbox is like a Pentium 3 PC of the shelf

People who don't know on how Memory band width helps Wii u you hit 1080p in more games read the page full and yes i have a ps3 xbox 360 ps4 wii u game PC retro consoles and soon Xbox one. So Why Devs Ran Away from Wii u. Ps4 and xbox 1 are easy like a x86 64 bit AMD PC easy to get power and not work for it on the wii u EDRAM like Shen-en. Also A Nintendo toon graphics looking game don't mean Low texture Resolutions. God people enjoy Games stop being 1 Brand Fan boys. http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Wii-U-Memory-Bandwidth-GPU-More-Powerful-Than-We-Thought-62437.html

@electrolite77 Yes there is proof the wii u has a better Gpu than the RSX 7800 nvidia in the ps3 and the Xbox is a ati radeon HD2800 based GPU Both are Direct x9 only based on PC Cards. The wii u is a ati radeon based on the 4850 gpu a direct x10 spec max level GPU from a PC card view also on the dev kit specs.. Wii u also has a Higher Bandwidth than OLD Ps3 and Xbox 360 Through its EDRAM 32 megs of it Vs the Xbox 360 16 megs of older slower EDRAM. Most devs just quick ported from x360 any way

@liveswired 7800GTX in the ps4 has been used fully well along side the cells Spe programmable clusters are able to do graphics tasks if your code tells them to. look a God OF WAR Or Drakes Fortune ect its aged well. A 7800GTX is a dx9 card LOVED IT i had 1 in my old AMD 64 1 core PC than sold it.

So many people who say wii u has low bandwidth For Get that EDRAM is in the system newer than the Xbox 360s older EDRAM 16 megs of it ed-ram is expensive to make

@liveswired Wii U was based on a 4850 in the dev kits Band width was 562 gigabytes per second From the newer gen EDRAM via research and Mark Cerny. Withe out using Wii u ed-ram than by it self low bandwidth

@liveswired Wii u has Aux processor for the os made by arm

General Purpose Gpu are the new Gen standard Started with Wii u first of consoles out the door to have it .Programmers had a hard time porting to Wii u because of 7 years old last gen programming styles. Or porting last gen CPU dependent GPU setups from old xb360 to a newer alien GPGPU lower clock CPU setup like Wii U. Little did they know that what was off loaded from higher clocked CPUs from last gen consoles.The GPU in Wii u and newer consoles are now able to rely less on high clocks from the CPU off loads and do more of its own work letting the CPU free its time tasking to other things is A GPGPU. I see where most get confused Wii u like 360 has a 3 core POWER PC CPU but a newer custom setup lower clock than 360. Wii u has some parts of its CPU from Watson but not fully that's what i heard take it with a grain of salt. And Both have a ATi Or Now AMD brand GPU but x360 GPU is not on par power to Wii u Gpu. Wii you looks to be more looks like a direct x10 looking PC games.

@Kirk Jesus kids TO ALL WII U it is not the same power as a X360 or a ps3 GPUs. The Wii u GPU is more powerful that the old assed RSX invidia 7000 and XENOS or ati x1800. In New GEN CPU clock don't make a system like the OLD ps3 and 360 gen clock speeds is not needed as much this gen . Now General processing gpus run the show are now used in the new gen systems like ps4 ,xb1, WiiU all have GPGPUs. Wii u has more shader cores like 320 that's more than a Ps3 old rsx 24 shader and xenos in 360 has 48 shader cores. Wii u in-terms of power is a based on a ATI 4850 or low end 5000 gpu sits above ps3 and x360 but below Xbox 1 and ps4 in terms of graphics effects and raw power. I am telling you from a pc Gamer tech standpoint
