You do know that x86 is backed with over 30 years of expertise right? Just because it's old doesn't mean it's worse. It's a proven architecture.
"The code has to be almost completely redone to use the Wii U CPU's strong points"
And that right there is the problem. Why should third party devs rewrite their code for the lesser system? You might yield better performance but is it worth it? You still won't top the "off the s...
Just remember, Kinect will be shoehorned into this.
Cable TV is a dying market. Apple and Google realize this that's why they don't bother to put anymore resources besides yearly updates into their existing products. MS is chasing a pipe dream that will amount to no success in the end. They should have made a game consoles first, glorified tv remote second.
Quad SLI Titans can't even achieve CGI quality.
With $500 million in marketing, anything can be seen as a success.
-Nintendo stuck with the PPC architecture vs MS/Sony going with x86
-Abysmal graphics performance in 2013. (~250 GFLOP GPU)
-Expensive for its offerings
-No gimmick to drive install base
-Nintendo online is a joke. Games locked to the console and no real account system.
Kinect is not a success. MS were practically giving them away. Move is actually bigger outside of the United States.
It doesn't matter how advance Kinect 2 becomes, it serves nothing for games. MS knew that so they showed us fancy tech demo's instead.
PS Vita was #1 at its reveal as well and look how that turned out.
Thanks to the Xbox One, PC games will be held back another generation ahead.
Zipper fail. Nobody wants a third person call of duty.
Anybody have an extra private beta code?
TBH, I'd drop up to 6 bills for this.
Would I Pay Over $300 For NGP?
Yes.
It makes sense because it's impossible if some games take advantage of the touchscreen/rear touchpad.
This is the reason why Apple restricts video out for its games.
Yes you do if you play GT5. Its realistic physics translate well in real life.
Forza 3 on the other hand is an arcade game so no, don't expect your arcade skills to help make you a better driver. Sorry kiddies, there are no steering assists in real life.
Jeez the update just went live not too long ago. Maybe an influx of users downloading over the good news that is mechanical damage? At least wait 24 hours post update to come up with some dumb conclusion such as this.

Did they have to make an article about this really?
With Kinect 2, maybe you can finally complete a lap in Kinect Joy Ride without banging the walls.
