Good point and if graphics do matter for some people then they would be better off buying a PC than a console. I think in future hard core gamers will on be on PC and the rest of us will be still playing Nintendo’s!

well the same thing will happen again if the NX is not powerful.

i told agree with u they no hope for Nintendo and after what reggie said well that say it all

And Nintendo is not give the best product it could possible be you watch if NX is underpowred again gamers won’t buy it and 3rd partys won’t support it why should they when have 4 other powerful system when will be more work for the NX version because is not powerful enough and games will be strip down like the Wii version of games and Wii U so yea mate graphics do matter

if past that time when comes to graphics why do sony and Microsoft consoles have such a large in stall base well will tell you why because people want graphics they want the best thing on the market Nintendo needs to realise that times have changed.

Look, I am not interested in you talking backwards through my points. Do you actually know what you are talking about, because its very outdated, superficially offered and totally ignorant of modern computing?

RISC/CISC, Opt, IPC.. all old hat. Wii U’s MCM is VISC configured, for starters. VISC is just one way we are dredging up old arch and finally able to envisage discovering its full potential. You’re talking about readout data like gFLOPS for crying out loud… the rest of the world is discussing workloads 😀

I am all but spelling out for you, that you should be referring to VM and soft machinery and their frameworks. Its totally juvenile to reach for the best, most inaccurate tech available and trend some idea that a ‘games console’, that most likely would not include the expense of attempting to systemize such parts, is therefore going to ‘need’ it. Totally untrue.

There is very little separating Wii U from its counterparts. Apart from storage (made important via the deployment to ‘mandatory installs’), there is one important area in the use of all three that Nintendo simply failed to address and the information I am under by my peers, is that of the ‘tools’ to use it. You cannot expect to just provide developers with a VISC system and then not provide them with the tools to configure it. Apart from the fact that adoption of the platform has been low, that is the single deciding factor for most software developers to just divest themselves of the added complexity the system itself, was designed to free them from.

Now, NX apparently solves that problem both for NX and working backward through the companies, much publicized, unified development framework. That some have already reported include the most powerful tools ever to have been provided developers.

If true, then perhaps (given the CEO’s announcement of the Wii U’s EOL date being 2018); it may be entirely possible they plan to offer Wii U as just one more platform option for soft devs to put software on and see if that takes. If not, whatever the next thing Nintendo have planned becomes, but what you are saying it totally without any context at all and comes across as incredibly myopic.

I don’t think this guy had any idea what their talking about or they don’t know how to explain it.

What? I went to college for IT. You haven’t included any of the these “fundamentals” in anything you’ve said and no throwing a few random unconnected tech words into your post doesn’t count. Graphics processing power is a widely used term among amateurs and experts alike. What do you mean by programmable machinery? A calculator is programmable machinery. If your are trying to say that custom console gaming hard ware will out preform generic hardware, then i agree with you. But there programs have their limits as how much they can do with hardware.

Yes, you say “graphics processing power” like that’s supposed to mean something blanket, but it doesn’t. These are programmable machinery. That alone and the fact you talk in language that never includes the fundamentals of that, mean you don’t understand it at all. So if what I have said doesn’t instantly make sense, I’m afraid you are going to have to do what the rest of us have done and go induct yourself into a course, diploma or degree.

This hardware magic button theories peddled online is not only severely misinformative, but also specific to mass social online gaming nonsense. Programmable hardware, that’s the most important point.
