My reaction: So you bring up an article from september 2011 to try make yourself feel better about what was said last week form an actual 3rd party dev. Which was this:

So far the 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-rez the game, but we'll take advantage of the controller for sure.'

The rest of the article is here:

No it’s not too make myself feel better as I already know it will be more than “on par” with current gen

You don’t build a powerful console and downgrade it, that’s just stupid! You have something and then add too it and make it more powerful hence the “on par with 360” romurs that came from devs with early devkits

Does it make sense to you that it was much powerful and then all of a sudden it is now on par with PS360?

In fact, they would actually do that in order to lower the price of the WiiU at launch.   It is obvious they are downgrading it in order to have a better price, because of what happened with the 3DS at launch.

It happened the same thing with the PS3.   It was supposed to have 2 HDMI out to connect to 2 different TVs.   The PS3 offered way more things, but it would have costed about $900 lol.  So they downgrade it in order to lower the price to $600.

Nintendo doesnt want to repeat the same mistake they did with the 3DS.
