Second Son is the first implementation of GPGPU on the PS4 and can handle something like 170,000 discrete particles along with other lighting and physics calculations. The GPU itself has an extra bus for direct memory access for GPGPU syncing, L2 support for graphical *at this point in the post, the transformation into the ultimate human being is complete*

The WiiU is the second worst console in history (first being the god drat Xbone!) and if I were in charge of Nintendo I'd stop system production and become a third party dev because that is smart.

Nintendo doing the same thing as Microsoft and Sony and making extremely user-friendly PC's without any of the manufacturing benefits those companies have that makes the process cheaper/easier does not seem like a good idea, at all!

Hat Thoughts, how dare you make a good post in this thread? This thread is for bad posts!

But yeah, "do the exact same thing as your competition!" is not good business advice unless you're in a monopolistic position. Nintendo is making the right choice to not do that, though whether they're making the right choices for what to actually do could be debated. For instance, I would have said the Gamepad was a bad decision up until yesterday when I could easily give up the TV to roommates and keep playing on the Gamepad. Now I think the Gamepad is awesome.

Nintendo is targeting a demographic of families, people who have friends over, and people who share a TV. The mistake there is that's probably a smaller demographic than the brogamer or "must have console instead of PC" crowd.

I'm not sure it's necessarily a smaller demographic so much as it is a demographic less willing to throw money at video games they haven't even seen actual footage of in general.

yes, the Wii U is good now and you should buy either the Mario Kart bundle or a $200 refurbished unit directly from Nintendo.

They completely wasted the year head start they had over their competition. They barely had anything ready for launch, despite the Wii's software completely drying up a few years earlier.

It would have had a brilliant launch line-up if they waited until Super Mario 3D World was finished, but it might also have been overshadowed by the other two consoles.

A home office wouldn't even hire you. I have relatives who are nothing but shaven sasquatches who have law degrees because their forest home was destroyed by the ranching industry, and while they still poo poo in the backyard like the animals that they are, they at least have some standards.

No that's loving retarded because everything in that presentation is next year, so just wait until then when Iwata is handing out free Reggie blowjobs and a 2DS with each $100 WiiU. Unless you just gotta put on the klan hood now and start playing those whites-only games because that MK roster may as well say "no coloreds" on it.

Just gotta say I own every good Wii-U game now, the 30 dollar and under sale price tag for the games is very good.

They need to do this year round for everything. Between the Toysrus 40% off sale, the free Mario kart game, and the 20 dollars off Best Buy sale it's all been very good.
