Crytek estimates 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.

Katsumi Hopefully this is true. I have high expectations for the console.
Sure it wont be as good as Xbox and Sony but hopefully it will be up to spec with the new gen consoles
Their is no way you can get the same power from a hand held as you would a console. Then you have the more advanced consoles that have rumors stating they are 4x times as powerful

F-35B lol whats funny is, the Xbox's hardware is 5 years old so congratz WiiU, what your making in 2012 competes with something made in 2007 if not older
Valve has interest in it, that means that it is powerful because Valve is mostly a PC developer. I find it funny how you "gamers" who have only played on the Xbox 360 think that the Wii U is bad because Crytek said that it is AT LEAST as powerful as the Xbox 360 meaning that it is going to be more powerful than the Xbox 360 is.
