Releasing on November 18th, 2012 in North America, the Wii U's PowerPC-based Espresso CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and AMD Radeon “Latte” GPU outputting up to 1080p (with an 854×480 screen on the GamePad) wasn't particularly capable, compared to the Wii U's competitors. This, of course, was not all, as poor marketing and a less-than-ideal launch lineup resulted in the Wii U being one of Nintendo's biggest sales flops, with it selling only 13.56 million unit… text/html 2022-06-21T23:22:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.io55.net/wiki/eop/video_game_consoles-home/8th_generation/sony_playstation_4?rev=1655853769&do=diff Sony PlayStation 4 Sony's 4th console.

OUYA The first “Kickstarter” console. Releasing on June 25th, 2013, the crowdfunded Ouya generated a lot of hype but failed tremendously at delivering it's promises.
