Bad Port or Bad Hardware? (Update: Confirmed slow CPU)

[itachi73378]

So yes, the Wii U CPU is nothing to write home about, but don't compare it clock per clock with a 360 and claim it's much worse. It isn't.

Question is how much worse is it then

It keeps track of all of your game time for each individual game and app.

Wow thats so next gen......snore....

I love these sort of comments, its like saying ohhhh you dont know what your talking about magic mystical CPU's are..

Like those that claim an i7 is faster than a P4 at the same mhz.

Well actually it aint that much faster, if your using one core.
The 360 has some extended VMX instrucitons, would be interested to see if the Wiiu boast those.

Yeah, you could already do this with Steam.

That said, I would be disappointed if neither Sony or Microsoft do the same thing with their next-gen consoles. It's cool to see what video games your friends spend the most time playing.

You can already do it for your kids in the family settings of the 360

Not complaining, just bored.

Not complaining, just bored.

The basic theme of it is this; if you don't love it, anything else you say is a complaint.

Well I don't hate it, I'm just not excited by it..even remotely.

There ya go, complainin' again. You and I are just big whiny girls.

My complaint is this: I want my Wii U back, even though I don't like some things about it.

Temptation almost got the best of me. I had a Wii U eyed up at Walmart last night (deluxe model). All I had to do was take it and swipe my card. Then I started looking at the game lineup, while ZombieU looks entertaining I am still not 100% sold on it. The ONLY game I woudl buy for that machine right now is the new Mario. *What a shocker!*

If there was a Zelda title out right now I would of bought the machine last night.

Yeah, the game line-up isn't stellar is it... lol. I only bought SMB.

[justintheman87]

Not even slightly. I would like to see the game sales for all launch titles and the percentage that is just SMB.

I know the Wii U is not perfect, but it is a lot better than you guys assume. It is not going to take over as your #1 console, but it will certainly get it's fair share of use. Until the next gen consoles come out, the Wii U has a lot to offer.

For me, it offers Nintendo games. That's almost all it needs. I hope the get the few nagging things straightened out.

That isn't what I was intending at all. I was just merely pointing out that the launch line-up is rather poor in my opinion. There is only one true gem of a launch title being the new SMB game. Imagine if that game wasn't part of the launch line-up? Yikes....

My reply was not directed to you. I was just talking out loud.

I have 3 Wii U games, and I think all 3 are fantastic.

ZombiU
AC3
New Super Mario Bros U

Honorable mentions would be, Rayman Legends and Scribblenauts Unlimited. I can only list ones that I have played and enjoyed.

I almost joined the Wii U crowd last night, but the lack of games that interest me is too high. AC3 is a game I will purchase but for my PS3 (when I get a new one that is....). I buy Nintendo hardware for one purpose, playing exclusive Nintendo games. Once Mariokart and Zelda find their way onto this console I will fork out the money and buy one instantly.

If you get a Wii U before the PS3, I would get AC3 on that. The PS3 version has bad frame rates and is visually less appealing. Out of all the ports, AC3 is best on the Wii U.

Really? Wow I will look into that. I do find that quite shocking though.

Lets just say, as single console owner, to me it would not be the console I would purchase next if I had the money. Either of the competitions products offer more to me.

[DeviousOne]

Ive never been a one console owner LOL however the Wii U is fun as shit especially when you have Company over which is almost a weekly thing for me Nintendo land is an whole another beast when you have 4 or 5 people playing! LOL

Best story i have so far is my parents coming over and see it and ask me what it was then i showed my mom how to play it she was playing for like 2 hours LOL Just picked up NSMBU for 40 bucks NEW gonna play it later once i get done handling business for the day

I'll find a damn wii u today and buy the game just to get a comparison video done. Lol

For someone to shout that its better on wii u vs ps3 and having the gear to do the comparison, but not doing it... It's suspect.

Ive seen a few comparison videos between 360 and wii u and couldn't tell the difference.

If anything i would say the wii u world looked a little a sparser, but they could be just the video.
