It looks like it'll be much more powerful than the PS360. If it is running BF3 at PC settings then it might be equal to a high end PC, especially considering that game is a port. The PS3 and 360 were also about equal in power to high end PC's of their period.

Yap, sounds like it.
But with this platform, they can "plug" their portables into this system in the future.

So all you guys still want to bet me it's RV770 in that thing?
No chance, RV730 just like I said if you're LUCKY.
I think these comments were in the pocket well before the Nintendo presentation, and would be thrown out regardless of what Nintendo showed...
I'm most interested in the online functionality after the comments from EA:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-06-07-ea-pledges-allegiance-to-wii-u
"Imagine those games with an open online functionality." Riccitiello went on to add that Wii U had "deeper online functionality"
For me, gaming is really about online and social play now. That was the biggest problem with the Wii and the PS3, for me. If Nintendo comes out with a solid online system that's free and allows devs to be creative, then I could be tempted to wade into the Wii U waters.

What would be thrown out of what? is this a jury trial?
This lens-flare ps2 tech was so awful ;\
No, it wasnt. Only dof impressed me and some shaders on fish, rest wasnt as spectacular. Crysis 2/KZ 3 have some spectacular real-time cutscenes that match this tech demo easily.ToTTenTranz said:
Yes they can, they already have similar tech working on PSP.

Zelda obviously, Kid Icarus, and I believe a Mario game. In addition to the other third party games they showed a reel of.

U misjudged me dude ! I had no idea what was to be shown ! I just saw and commented. Lets leave it at that !
I am still not convinced that that controller's other gimmicks are worthwhile! To me the only good thing was that I can continue the game on the controller screen itself, but then I am guessing we'll have to have the console ON, and the controller just recieves the video feed. That means no real mobility of games, just that one can play without disturbing others. Kindof an OKAY feature, not a deal breaker for my lifestyle.
Everything else seems tacked on anyways.
That assumption is yes.
Practically all the alpha textures were shimmering along with the shadows cast from trees onto the ground. The bird's shadow was fine (well, you'd hope so, given it's the focus). DOF was nothing too special, same with the water shader. They're run of the mill effects. The fish at the end might have been the only thing that impressed me for the 0.25 seconds of screen time it got.
Oh dear developers, prove the naysayers wrong with your games (or tech or chops) !
Not at all. I wanted to see amazing looking Wii2 games. I'm a big graphics whore at heart. Sony and MS's conferences mostly sucked so I was hoping for Nintendo to save E3 with something new and exciting.
That would have also had the side effect of putting strong pressure on Sony/MS to hurry next gen, which would have been exciting, which unfortunately now there is not.
The lack of detailed specs is odd. I wonder if this was a preventative measure against a possible surprise reveal by MS or Sony (more likely MS) of THEIR next home console. It would have taken quite a bit of the wind out of their sales if the day before they launch their system a system with better specs set to launch during the same launch window got announced. If that had happened, sticking to revealing the things they knew would differentiate the system would prevent spec wars from dominating the early discussion.
Correct me if I'm wrong. The controllers/pads are not 3D displays and the console itself had no mention of 3D output? (This isn't something I truly care about, just curious.)
I am a little confused. It can play 2 games at once? 1 on the pad/controller and 1 on the tv screen? Can it be a different game? I'm having a hard time believing they can run 2 copies of Metro side by side at the same time.
