Nintendo does not usually confirm or deny rumors, but they did go out of their way to reply to this particular rumor. To just say that the console will exceed the current HD consoles without further detail would have been sufficient to dispell the rumor. But the fact that it doesn't even address the point, it raises suspicion as to the power of the WiiU. |
Not really. People were skeptical about the Gamecube's power compared to the PS2 at first, until Factor 5 got ahold of it and began publicly praising its capabilities. Nintendo didn't go out of its way to say that the 3DS was more powerful than the PSP, either. Not since the N64 have they really cared about hardware boasting, always pointing out what makes their systems unique and how gameplay is paramount.
Based on what we know, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised come E3...
