PS Vita's Processor Gives It An Advantage Over Wii U Pad

I found this on PlayStation Universe.

The article basically says that the PS Vita is more Specialererrr ... because it has a Processor in it, while the Wii U's Pad/Controller does not.

Thats about it.

Here is the link to the article:

good post man ... it just backs up what i have been saying about the wii U since .. wellll FOREVER hahah

it sucks!! lol

Yeahyeahyeah. Fuck the Wii U

It would have been an ok concept if it was still 2009 - early 2010. But that kind of console just isn't practical anymore.

Plus
You're right It sucks. The presentation isn't very good and the concept is outdated

i agree ... if this was a few years ago this would be awesome but ... seriously you can't go about taking it out with you on the train or out as a portable device ? it's plain outdated ... it's basically a attachment to a console but also a console ... that has to be ranged close to the wii or plugged in to it ...talk about lame in a 1,000 different languages lol

they should of just made the nintendo wii HD as rumors said they were going to do lol

Because the Vita is better

The pad isn't the console, the Vita is a console, this doesn't mean anything since they aren't competing equipment.

You still fail to see that the wii U pad isn't something you take around with you....

Sigh people bashing the Wii U... You guys make me laugh so fucking hard by bashing on a controller for a console and saying it's weaker than the Vita. It's like saying my keyboard and mouse is weaker than the Vita yeah suck on that PC you guys are making yourself looking like dumb-asses but you're not or probably you are.

The Vita is much more weaker than the PS3 and the Wii-U (Console) [NOT THE CONTROLLER PAD] is 2 times more powerful than the PS3 by having a 1gb GDDR5 GPU compared to the PS3 outdated 256mb DDR2/DDR3 GPU. The Wii-U displays 1920x 1080p compared to the PS3 1280x 720p and the PS3 struggles at 720p not even running native 720p.

I don't hate Sony nor am I a Nintendo fan I am just stating the facts and what makes you so different from the 3DS fanboys bashing on the Vita.

So stop bashing on the Wii-U because you've seen nothing from it, all you have seen is the controller because it can handle Unreal Engine 4, CryENGINE 3 and 2, Frostbite engine 2.0+ (which the PS3 and Xbox struggles hard) at 1080p running more than 30 FPS.

Nintendo is original Sony is just as awesome.

There is no point in arguing anymore, no one seems to listen.

I realize that the Wii U's Pad isn't the console itself, but In My Opinion, Which means I not even trying to say that what I state is fact. The Wii U is an Idea that will hopefully prove to be a money making machine for Nintendo(since I am actually a big Nintendo fan, Not of the 3DS though, 3D Gives me headaches.), But I still personally think that It is an outdated Idea, not because its a bad one, but simply because its been done, Not exactly as Nintendo is doing it but quite similarly. With all the Tablets out there like the iPad. I think that as unfortunate as it is, Nintendo is just a generation behind in the battle over the Hard Core Gamer population.
And personally I think that the PS4 and Xbox720(if thats what its called?) are semi outdated ideas as well, if it weren't for the fact that the new hardware gives them greater game play-ability and better graphics and such. I wouldn't buy one of them. I'm not the kind of person who buys just to have the newest thing nor am I the Fanboy who buys out of love for a company.

I'm sorry for the long response, I'm not sure if my entire argument is in there but I think it explains my view well enough.
Even though I got off topic a bit

Where did you get the specs for the Wii U's GPU? N pretty sure it hasn't been confirmed how much ram is going to be inside the Wii U either, most likely it will be 1gig but it could be 768mb. Overall I doubt the Wii U is twice as powerful as a PS3, it doesn't come close to having twice the stats. Then the Wii U has two screens, one big 3D HD TV that can run 1080p and also their controller which leaves all the processing up to the console.

Overall you'll unlikely get games that look that much better, mainly if your wanting 60fps, 1080p and maybe even 3D.

I think someone hasn't played GT5 before, it purrs at 1080p running at 60fps, even has 3D support..

We've only seen the controller because it can handle these engines? These engines all work on the 360/PS3, well I'm not too sure about UE4 but what we can tell about Unreal Engine 4 is that it'll have support for Xbox720 and PS4 but at the moment there's no plans on bringing the engine to the Wii U

GT 5 doesn't run native 1080p it runs upscaled at 45 fps yes I have the game and my TV can display the true fps and the real resolution don't listen to devs they lie alot like Activision

all in all .. it's nothing to wow people ... it's basically a add on to a outdated system ( the wii ) and i know its not a portable ... I KNOW ... the fact that's it's NOT a portable device and a console in one makes it just that much more pointless ... if i want to play on a console i will just play the game on my console .. if i want to play portable games on the go .. that's what i will do ... for people to lug out hundreds of dollars or this IMO a "ass on" to the wii is just pure ca-ca... it's basically a controller with a screen ... WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH howww awesome lol ... wake me up when nintendo has a bright idea and then i'll shut up ....

until then i'm going to eat my wendy's and watch lifetime haha

The pad needs to be a nice device, decent touch screen, that can be cheap. No one wants to purchase a $100-200 controller if it busts. It's not something you would compare to an Ipad or any of that.

All consoles are outdated garbage. If consoles didn't have exclusives I'd never move away from my PC.

I agree that this is one of the dumbest argument and this thread just makes us Sony fanboys look stupid.

For those who think Vita's cross platform idea is something new, look again. Nintendo thought of that first with their GBA-Gamecube games (such as Zelda Four Swords). Let's not even get into the fact that Sony has yet to deliver on that promise.

About the controller having a miniscreen attached to it- Nintendo didn't think up this first. It was Sega's Dreamcast with its awesome controller.

You guys should get your facts straight about the WiiU. It is not just a Wii with a tablet controller. It is a next gen console. How would you guys like it if someone said PS3 is just a PS2 with a Blue Ray device? You guys would go crazy mad at that false statement. I do wish that Nintendo would have given the WiiU a different name just because of the confusion the 3DS nomer caused a lot of people outside the know.

Anyway, while I intend to get a Vita, I'm passing on the PS4. I plan on getting the WiiU and XBox 720. The reason is that Nintendo seems to be the innovator this time around and Microsoft scratches my hardcore game-y-ness much better because it offers much better FPS game experience. I may pick up the PS3 for the blue ray though...

the wii u is just a horrible system if they wanted to come into the HD gen then they should have started back in 2005

let me thin the air here .... i NEVER said i was a fan boy in any way possible ... if anything i'm against the whole fanboy fighting it's retarded and it's made for kids haha
second ...i never said sony created innovative products before the nintendo ... the dreamcast was badass but sega fell off the food chain ... it is what it is ...

as far as the wii U being the "next gen" "console" your absolut. wrong ...

i wouldn't even call it a new console ... cause it really isn't it literally is a controller with a screen for the wii .... call it a different name ? why it pretty much is a expansion of the wii so the title quite fits it...
i supported nintendo since i was fricking like 4 years old ....great times ... great games ... it was awesome but honestly ... this isn't even close to a must buy ...
IT IS A CONTROLLER WITH A SCREEN FOR THE WII ... i don't care how powerful it is or how much hardware it has .... it is still a controller with a screen ... until it is proven otherwise ... then it's just another fail on nintendo's part

now i'm allowed to hate cause i once was a huge nintendo fan .. now if i never played a mario or zelda or even a metriod game ... then you can tell me to shut up and i will gladly shhh lol
hell i even used to tell everyone i knew to shut up when they got the ps3 when it first came out cause i backed up the nintendo wii .... then i was like "ya know what i'm going to buy the ps3 .. and see what all the fuse is ...." and i did ... bought resident evil 5 and dead space .. and i had a chubby for the rest of the night ...
and realized nintendo was just crossing their legs and are constantly taking the easy route with their mario brother games lol

just cause you become famous for something doesn't mean you have to keep making that product for the rest of your fricking life ...
uncharted is basically the new mario of video games ... i would bet a lot of money they don't contuine to kill the series and if they do .. the'll actually stop
like i always say ... IT IS WHAT IT IS...
actions speak louder then words and unfort. if i ever take a trip to nintendo land ..i'm sure ill be sick to my stomach .. riding that ride lol

just to clear it up again .. i take no sides ... i am not a "fanboy"
i keep it honest ... that's all

Okay then the PS3 is just an updated PS2, The Xbox 360 is just an updated version of the Xbox original, The PS Vita is just an updated PSP. And you're saying the Wii-U can't be an updated version of the Wii?

Chris you've seen nothing from the Wii-U, it's all about the games, you've just seen the controller. Nintendo are true Innovator not saying that Sony isn't but the Wii-U offers NEW ways to play instead of the PS3 and the Xbox 360 just being an updated version of the PS2 and Xbox with HD graphics with the same controller and plays the same as the previous generation.

It's still called a next generation console if you say it's not, then YOU CHRIS must deny the Vita is the next generation handheld and the PS3 and Xbox 360 are the same generation consoles with the PS2 and Xbox because they're the same just with Hardware improvements.

i honestly don't think the vita is ness considered the next gen. it's basically a portable ps3 ... which i'm sure most people have wanted for a while ...
okay your got me there where it makes gaming a different experience but in the end ... most HARDCORE GAMERS ... want great graphics and mashing buttons like how we have always been doing it
it's KINDA cool but it's going to get old and almost annoying ... when the wii came out i HAD to have it the first day it came out due to the innovative new way to play games ... and at first it was awesome .. and after a little bit i was like .... i want to play games have i always played them ... mashing buttons ... most people don't care to "play as the character" ... yeah FPS's are almost that .. but people just want the typical standards controls. i get nintendo is always going for the new way of gaming but it's all a fad eventually ...

okay ... yeah it's next gen. on a level of new tech ... as far as how to play a game ..

hardcore gamers are more into graphics hardware and great ip's .... MP and just great games. the consumer isn't that hard to please ... we want amazing looking games that play amazing ... not just a new way to play them ...

being a fan of nintendo for sooooooooo many years .. i just don't even care for the approach they take anymore.

they will always be in my heart for creating the most famous games in gaming history ... but it's time to step it up ... i don't care to see what they provide anymore

it's still a controller with a screen for the wii ... with a new feature of playing a game ...

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ........ is that a better way to put it ? lol

yeah usually a new system is basically the older system with steroids .... and you know what ..... I AM OKAY WITH THAT haha

i rather have that then a system standing still with JUST a new way to play a game. ... shrugs

i'm not trying to cause a argument ... i on the other hand love debating .... all you guys are awesome .. just trying to show you that me or anyone else that is a hardcore gamer .... doesn't really give a hoot for this kind of stuff
