That would be a launch buy for me 100%.

Question is how much RAM will the retail version ship with? And the link says 8gb or 16gb not 12 to 16.

retail is normally half the ram that a dev kit has so that means Orbis should have roughly 6-8GB RAM which if the rumours surronding the new xbox are correct, I would say the Orbis will have 8GB.

lol and i cant join neogaf either because I only have a hotmail account and they dont accept them so.

Ok thats what I thought. 6 to 8gb would be awesome.

Ok, no more PS4 talk in this thread.

**three3-times** · 11-28-2012

Meh, its not even more powerful or graphically superior to the 360 or PS3. i See it as just a HD Wii with a gimmicky controller. Imma pass. More than happy with my 360

**F34R** · 11-28-2012

I wouldn't think the controller was a gimmick, or it is gimmicky. However, it is a HD version of the Wii. Much like the PS3/360 are HD versions of their previous gens. I think in order to get on board, you have to want the Nintendo first party games... for starters.

I get what your saying, but the ps3/360 are or were powerful. The wii always catered to a certain type......not me! Nothing wrong with that. but i aint and never have been a nintendo guy. I was Amstrad, Sega then Sony and now MS!

They are more powerful compared to their predecessors. Same with the Wii U. I'm guessing, but I could be wrong obviously, that no matter what the Wii U translated into specs, content, etc., it wouldn't be for you.

I wanted it to be, but the price and the fact the 360/ps3 can still beat it in a race, i dont think it will be,

One thing I've had to keep out of my head is "race". Wii U isn't racing... its the same thing I did with the PS3 decision. Which is better? Wii vs them? I basically boiled it down to what each console offers, and if that is something I want. Did the PS3 have ANY multiplat games I wanted? Yeah, but I already had a 360 for that. The PS3 does have games that the 360 doesn't, and features that the 360 doesn't. Blu-ray specifically. During that time period, I couldn't spend the $400 on a blu-ray player solely... when you can get the PS3 with that, plus the content. I wanted to give it a try, and it paid off tremendously. The same scenario is for the Wii U. Is it better than the other consoles? Hell, it doesn't matter (for me). What matters is the features, content, and price. Does the PS3 or 360 have any first party Nintendo franchises? Nope. Do either of the others have a controller that can play the games w/o a tv? Nope... etc. I mean, it just boils down to what each console has. That's why I have them all, and the same goes for the handhelds.

I think we are on the same track here... lol

Mine should be here tomorrow. I've ordered a USB Ethernet adapter.
Disappointed to hear about the audio issues as in I can't use my PC speakers like how I rigged up the PS3 by having display as HDMI and setting audio to AV out.

Quick question about the Virtual Console games. Will I be able to redownload the games I bought from the Wii's virtual console on the Wii U or do I have to buy them again? I know there's a Wii U transfer app but just in case I don't want to use that.

Right now, none of the virtual console games are available. I am sure Nintendo is probably working on a way to transfer the games from your Wii to your Wii U as well.

I can't wait when they bring it back, especially the Gamecube games. I see what Nintendo is trying to do with the virtual console market despite the fact that they're not going too deep with backwards capabilities.
