Crytek estimates Wii U is 'minimum as powerful as Xbox 360'

4.8
Wii U is "minimum" as powerful as Xbox 360.

That's according to Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli, who revealed in a CVG interview that a "respected developer" is working on a CryEngine 3 title for the Nintendo platform.
"My opinion of the Wii U is very high," he said. "It's just that we didn't have a business case unfortunately that justifies us making a game for it.

"It doesn't mean that CryEngine 3 doesn't run on Wii U - it actually runs beautifully. In fact, there actually is a game in development from a respected developer that we will be announcing. I've seen the game running and it looks really great."

Yerli estimated that the Wii U hardware is "minimum on par with the current generation."

"From my perspective I do not understand the public's concerns that the Wii U is weaker than PS3 and 360," he said. "That I cannot see. From my perspective the Wii U is minimum as powerful as Xbox 360."

In the same interview the Crytek boss claimed his studio's technology is already "way beyond" next-gen console specifications.

Scanty Sucks to see that once this is released, it will be brushed aside by people buying the new Xbox.


Nintendo is always the one being brushed aside, nothing new there


If nintendo is "always" brushed asid then why is it the number one selling console manufacturer right now?

I don't get how people are saying that the Wii U will somehow be another Xbox. It will not. The whole aspect of the Wii is to get up and move whilst playing the game. The same idea will be in the next version of the Wii.

Amour This is just to bad.. When Xbox is working on there next product, Wii is trying to catch up to the old product.
What a shame ):


Thats how business works now a days. Apple and Microsoft are the true pioneers of technology. Every other company just copies them and creates their own version of the product.


No you are wrong, Apple just copies from others and they market it as their own product, they honestly have come up with noting innovative because MP3s, tablets, smart phones and computers with GUIs all existed before Apple released a product similar to them. Microsoft is kind of innovating, but they definitely got inspiration for Kinect from the Wii. And if Microsoft is a true pioneer for technology and everyone is copying them, why were video game systems being made in the 80's, but Microsoft did not make a console until the 2000's? Why did they make their own search engine too?

This shows Nintendo is way behinde. They are making a console that has the power of the 360 when the 720 is far ahead in technology than its brother. This makes me laugh
