I packed away my soft modded Wii recently. The games were fun for the first couple of weeks. Then meh....I enjoy playing The Fight on my ps3 more than punchout. And that's just 1 example.

Nothing about the Wii U has grabbed me. If the security does suck as bad as the Wii, I might get a system to hack. But I think even that would be too tiresome. I can't see myself buying a system for a couple of exclusives when 90% of third party titles will most likely play better. The ps3 scene has exploded in the past month and should keep me satisfied until I can justify spending money on a ps4. Because honestly, if I'm going to lay out cash for a new system, it's going to be for an actual upgrade

Nintendo is stubborn. So am I.

do those other consoles come with innovation or features present in the new consoles, or the newer games?

if graphics pwn all then get out of the console scene and build a monster PC but then you miss console exclusives but that shouldnt matter should it as the graphics/power are all that matter right

lets make a quad sli comparative console with 32 core cpu, 32gb ram and make completely generic, short as ****, boring games with eyecandy then eh? woohoo!!

gameplay pwns graphics. thats not to say graphics arent important, thats saying they are "not as" important as people think compared to the game itself.
how many people like demon souls/call of duty etc? the graphics are average but the gameplay isnt. the same with many many games

there is nothing wrong with the wii-u power/graphics at all, nor the capabilities. the problem is with devs being upset that they cant hit a "port" button and that they have to actually code for a different system.

I would'nt take this as gospel, as they got the clock speeds of both the PS3 and 360 wrong. Both PS3 & 360 CPU's run at 3.2Ghz not 3Ghz. So how do you know that they got the true Wii U CPU/GPU specs.

is it theoretically possible to tweak that clocks higher with a homebrew for mfkers who wants that?

if yes, would it bring much or wouldnt it effect the graphics and the speed?

CPU's/GPU's get underclocked to keep wattage requirements down, as most consoles are based on small factor case not huge boxes like with PC's. It's clear that Ninty must have done this to keep costs down as well.

Faster clocked chips would require better PSU/better Cooling or modded cases. It would depend if the Wii U chips are locked or not. Sometimes chips can't be overclocked. No doubt will see a Wii U modding scene soon.

See the size of the cpu as well? eesh. It's like a 20th of the 360's. It'll output hardly any heat, and the energy used to power it will be awesome.

Day one hack as well... I'm floored.

Which MGS exactly? MGS4?

MGS4 had shiny graphics over gameplay. It didn't feel too much like a stealth game to me.

All IMO.

MGS4 was more for the fans though I'll give you that
