some of these comments are riduculous

check wii u its double what the 360 can do either way im hoping its all all 4 platforms

The wii u can handle gta better than 360 and ps3 hardware wise plus they got a xbox style gaming pad so its very doable

 

The Wiiu is a next gen console. It can handle games like ac3 and mass effect, so there's no reason it wouldn't be able to run any other game that a current-gen console could run.

Yeah, erm, no. Check the second and third video, compare the fps:

Of course it is a next gen console, in case the next gen games go down in graphics and processing power requirements it will surely be top notch!

 

For a console that new, you would actually expect it to run better than the Xbox360 and PS3, wouldn't you?

Nintendo has never been about innovation through processing power.

Then don't call it a next-gen console, because that's actually exactly what the term "next-gen" is all about. The Wii U can barely be put in a sentence with the X360 and PS3, not even to mention the PC.

 

Oh yeah, and slapping a screen onto a controller might be "innovative", but does it really revolutionize gaming? No. It's merely a gimmick. 

 

So all that is left of the Wii U is a lack of power, a gimmicky second screen and a game list that's filled with titles for 6 year olds (not to defame it, I love Mario and I played it a lot when I was littler)

The hardware IS not better than xbox and PS3 combined like the guy said in his post. Most people including developers like John Carmack (id Software) say that the Wii U is at the same level as the current Gen Consoles.. and if you check the Hardware...that's absolutely true.

 

But for me it's simply the design i hate. i could never play with that totally wired Gamepad thing. I don't get it. After a second thought...It was wrong to laugh about it..everyone has their own opinion but i personally just can't understand the whole WII U hype.

It's not a wired controller. But considering how it has a screen, the battery drains in (if I recall correctly from Ashens' video) about 4-6 hours.

Nope, lol, never.

Did you even read the rest of this thread and seen the evidence I posted?

 

Or better, have you even read the article you linked to? First sentence:

 

 

While Nintendo still hasn’t disclosed the internal hardware of the Wii U,

 

How can anyone claim the Wii U is 50% more powerful than current gen consoles, without knowing what hardware is inside; and on top knowing by FPS comparison, that it performs worse than the X360 and PS3, let alone the PC? An absolutely ridiculous and pathetic claim, which bases on pure speculation.

Keep in mind that the article is two years old, and by now we do know the specs inside the Wii U. I'm sure that there are other articles out there comparing the Wii U to current gen systems that is more accurate and less based on "pure speculation".

Well this escalated quickly.

GTA games were always an tradition to sell better on consoles, yes though it's better for PC thanks to Mods but most people are just not going to care and get it for consoles. 

 

and for the people arguing how wii u isn't a next gen console, sorry to inform you but Wii U is already an Next gen Console, Any new console that's release by the previous will be considered next gen no matter what, ignore what specs it has it will still be a Next gen Console anyways glad got that off my chest.

still think it would handle gta5 with the pro controller jsut fine not the tablet controller

 

maybe locked at 30 fps sees its processor is the weak point

 

bet u cant tell the diff between 30 and 60 anyway

the wii u wont be getting gta v plane and simple.

rockstar is going to do with they think is best business wise and releasing it on the wii u really wouldn't be a smart move

simply for the fact of the nature of the console

its geared more to soft core players in general more then anything

gta v is a more mature game.

anyways rockstar has taken gambles with niteindo before and i dont think they'll be releasing their core game on the wii u

Have u seen fhe wii u launch titles theres.plenty of hardcore mature.stuff and.the.fact they made a xbox style controller says to.me there welcoming games like.gta mass effect ect
