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.

So the new console is as minimally powerful as the older ones?

Of course it won't be as good looking as an Xbox or PS3. They're still trying though.

bux I highly doubt it will be as good as the xbox 360 though?


It will be nowhere near as good. But it will still be for people who play the Wii.


They need new ideas.
