What are your expectations for the graphic abilities of the PS4, Xbox 720? There is only so advance you can go without making it too expensive. I doubt the difference between WiiU and PS720 is going to be any larger than say, the difference between Crysis 2 on PC and Crysis 2 on the PS360. You have absolutely no basis of how powerful the WiiU actually is, and only have a reference from multiplatforms developed for consoles from the previous generation. We just don't have enough information. As for what makes it distinctive? Well the game library will be quite distinctive for starters. Nintendo first party games can only be found on the system. That alone can sell many systems. The tablet controller also adds to the uniqueness of the system. Third party games will be found on all three, since there isn't going to be a distinctive enough difference in technical power. So what makes somebody decide? Well which first party games do I like? What is the price? What extra features will I enjoy? I'm seriously doubting the belief that there will be a "generation" or wii-ps360 gap between the WiiU and the next consoles from the other two companies. It just isn't practical for there to be.
