I wasn't sure if this was confirmed when I read that Time article his morning.
8GB is pretty low. I wonder why Nintendo is so resistant to include a hard drive or even a bay if a user chooses to upgrade. How much would a 128GB HDD cost them to include?7 years is not a decade. 10 years is a decade. Over a decade means over 10 years. Learn English.I think he's talking about the original Xbox which came out in 2001.
Well, now we know how cheap Nintendo plans on being with the Wii U. My Wii's SD card holds 8 GB of storage, and that cost me $20 3 or so years ago. That is pathetic on Nintendo's part, and it makes me wonder how pathetically low their file size cap will be on Wii U. This just reminds me of that scene in the original Austin Powers when Doctor Evil threatened the leaders of the modern world with a $1 million ransom, and everyone just starts laughing. With downloadable games only growing larger, Nintendo had better be extremely flexible with their file size cap, or they will be just as ignored by (GOOD) digital developers as they were on the Wii.
Now, looking at it from another angle that is a whopping double the amount of storage as the 4 GB Arcade-model Xbox 360, and I have a feeling that's how Nintendo's looking at it. Of course, Nintendo's not competing with the 360 or PS3 with the Wii U, but their successors and I'll be very surprised if either future console has less than 20-50 GB of storage by default.
Well I find this disappointing. You'd think with all the work they spent fixing it after last year's E3 such as the Controllers, dual touch screen pad support, etc, that theiy would have taken a clue from succesful consoles released over a DECADE ago and added Native/Internal HDD support out of the box.
Just when I was getting excited, now I'm not as much. Good luck trying to win over existing Xbox and PS3 owners now Nintendo.
EPIC FAIL.
Okay, maybe it hasn't been confirmed yet... but its coming.![]()
Just a small correction, it's confirmed that Wii U is using a POWER7-based CPU from IBM, not a POWER PC one.Source please.
