I just get the feeling that we are judging this machine a little too early in its lift time. Yes it could be a failure but it's not a guaranteed thing yet. I price drop here or there can help plus who know how well Xbox 3 and Ps4 will go, we have just assumed they are going to be big successes...

I'm sure Wii U has to potential to do great in the market but when its competition is still the 360 and Ps3 which are established way beyond anything Nintendo can compete with I'm just glad that they sold anything at all. The original Wii had it's own little bubble that was definitely helped by...

Ps3 82 retail 56 PSN 360 42 Retail 52 XBLA And just for fun... Wii 24 Retail 14 Wiiware Steam 99 So yeah a fair bit for me as well.

One would be inclined to think that at the very least the end software will be brought into line with what PC games are producing. Even if at the very least we just get PC level games with better shaders, that's a definite improvement with little additional cost.

One would assume that a low CPU overhead would only be an issue if you are running high performance code at the same time. Considering that the only time video decoding ever seems to be used for it cut scene's or hiding load times it still does't seem like h.264 would be much of a burden even if...

One would think so. No reason to vary to base OS too far for the target system.

This is true but judging by how much disc activity it has during gameplay, they do use it quite extensivly since the HDD is being used about 30% of the time.

No need to thank me... basically because I completely forgot to get in touch with anyone. Oops. That said cool info anyway. :)

Oh yay, Dual shock 3... what a surprise. *yawn* Well I suppose that's one less thing the Xbox fans and lay down on the Ps3 now.

Well the stream has begun so it's about to start and at least by the looks of it this Eurogamer guy running the stream has a decent sense of humor to go with it.

It was one of the Insomniac podcasts they where talking about this issue and why they where using pre-rendered over real time on some cut scenes, for them it was to mostly hide load times or to do scenes that involved multiple locations where they wouldn't have the memory to handle it in real...

I'm surprised sometimes at how much people under estimate how much power these machine take up, Almost everyone I know just leaves their PC's on all the time and then complain about the power bills. Down here I know some friends that left all three of their PC's on all the time and left my Ps3...

I've got contacts some of them so I'll see if I can track some figured down in the next few days. ;) I wouldn't expect them to be too high since it did rely very heavily on LOD to get the massive scenes but we didn't care because they where still awesome.

Not bad at all, damn shame it never got finished but that's jsut the way these things go I suppose, reminded me of that Ford World Tour game from a few years back combined with Forza. I also love the fact that sometimes the cars are floating slightly above the track, that's a sure sign of an...

Now all I'm waiting for it the word on weather LAN play will be in or not and weather you can LAN with PC's as well just this could potentially keep my future LAN'ing costs right down if they support it.
