Yea, but its Nintendo known for making games that look better than the tech demo? Plus Nintendo haters base all this on lower clocked CPU. Which doesn't mean much today with current architecture. The fact is that the Wii U's CPU doesnt have as much responsibility as the PS360's CPU'S so it doesn't have to be clocked as high.

Wii U is an efficency wonder which needs just half the power the 360 needs for similar results. I think that Nintendo designed the Wii U with that in mind. A cool/quiet/small/durable/energy saving version of the 360 with room to surpass it (but not by much). 

Hmmm I don't think the difference is even that big after the slim versions

Unfortunately no one did such a test on the Wii U with a more technically advanced game.

Thanks for clearing it up. Thats what happens when you don't look up everything. I heard it was about half so often that I just assumed its right.
