We don't know for sure, but one analyst thinks the machine will knock Sony's PlayStation 3 into a cocked hat.</p> <p>Arvind Bhatia, from firm Sterne Agee, told <a class="external" href="http://www.industrygamers.com/news/wii-u-is-actually-50-more-powerful-than-ps3---report/" target="_blank">Industry Gamers</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Some of the developers we spoke to indicated to us that the console will have 50% more processing power compared to the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. This is yet to be confirmed by Nintendo.</p> </blockquote> <p>We already know the machine will at least match Xbox 360 and PS3's graphical output, but it would take some serious horsepower to outstrip them by 50%.</p> <p>How powerful do you think the Wii U will be? How powerful does it need to be, and will it make any difference to your purchasing decision? Let us know.</p></p><br clear="all"/> <p> </p><br clear="all"/> (IDC)
