Will the Wii U Be "On Par" With Xbox 360 and Ps3? Developer Says Yes

It looks like Nintendo’s new console will be at least comparable in power to current gen systems. At least that’s what Marvin Donald of Vigil Games (developer of Darksiders) told Game Reactor in a recent interview.
“So far the Wii U hardware’s been on par with what we have with the current generations…Based on what I understand, the resolution and textures and polycounts and all that stuff, we’re not going to being doing anything to up-res the game, but we’ll take advantage of the controller for sure.”
Its still a bit early to say for sure however, as according to an article published on Develop, an independent studio source claims that the Wii U performs twice as fast as the Xbox 360, while another source said it performed far greater than current gen systems. Donald, however, went on to say in that same interview, “…we’ll have a few new features for sure, but I think visually, for the most part, it’ll be pretty much the same.”

The Wii U is being targeted for a Holiday 2012 release. Stay tuned to the Game Fanatics for continuing coverage.
