Talking to myself again but so what!!!

The Wii U has a seperate cpu for os.It has 2gig ddr from what I can gather,and this is split between os and game.Has an amd gpgpu designed to take a lot of cpu load leaving more of the main cpu for other things.I read a big developer said.....on the wii u our game is running a 15% load on cpu,on other machines it runs at like 95%.

It has been designed in such a way that you can suspend your game by hitting the home button,and then use any of the other os functions eg. web browser,nintendo eshop,chat,miiverse,love film,any other app....when ur done...return to your game! well cool

This cannot be done on ps3,i cant remember about the xbox but this is a very nifty little feature that will have thrown sony and microsoft a severe curve ball if they have not already implemented an idea like this into their new machines.

I dont care how much more powerful the new ps or xbox will be,this wii u is the shit,CoD black ops 2,2player no split screen....1 on game pad one on tv,also this can be done online and is amazing.The gamepad screen is very vivid and bright and the dual displays on two player are class.All games run native 1080p...not so sure on the res of the gamepad touch screen though it does look very good on black ops 2 and ac3.I personally think the graphics are better too and these are just ported games.Woop to being able to play in bed also.

Nintendo have come in hard with this stuff,and there are many haters out there of nintento due to the way they operate.

But for me,my wife and for now Im well chuffed.

If the devs get on board right,this is gonna kick ass 4 a while.Too much bad publicity between nintendo being tight lipped about the console,and also about future game launches did them no favours on sales,but they had to be tight lipped with some of the party tricks they were bringing!


I overcame my fears,and am in a world of joy!!!!

Yay wii U and the mrs loves it
