I just care about how the game looks. Don't care for the technical aspect, if it looks great it looks great. Obviously a more powerful console can produce more technically advanced games. But like I said, for me, Zelda U trumps a lot of "next-gen" games. Based purely on how it looks through my eyes. :) 

I think 3 rd parties know this via sales results therefore one of several reasons they don t support the Wii u-   

No third party support? Wha tabout Just Dance and Hello Kitty Kruisers?

Devils Third, is that this year? im gonna get that it looks fun. Bayo 1 and 2, Smash, Captain Toad, Hyrule warriors and Xenoblade will keep me quiet for a while too. How am i supposed to find time for third party games as well?

thats pretty pathetic

What they really need to do is unify theirs systems much like how apple unifies iphone ipod touch and ipad.   Make it so that a 3rd party game could be developed for the handheld and the console without much effort.  If the install base was 3ds plus wiiu it would be a no brainer to develop a madden game for example. But as they are right now it would take two seperate development efforts. Secondly if the online for such a game was tied together people would have an easier time finding matches than they did with madden 13 on wiiu and make the game more appealing to purchase.   There could be an added value to purchasing a game digitally because it could be played on the handheld or the console. Most importantly this would make it so that Nintendo could carry a console/handheld by itself and have a steady stream of games at all times.

So...? 8th gen tech continues to be 8th gen tech, despite what may further exist. Super Mario Bros from 1985 is a NES exclusive. Would you say it has 8th gen graphics just because there is no high end PC running it?

I mean, it's so obvious. Technology is what it is. You're going around in circles talking about art, fun and other things that are not tech.

Here:

"Technology (from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia[1]) is the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems, and methods of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a pre-existing solution to a problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied input/output relation or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection of such tools, including machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures. Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include construction technology, medical technology, and information technology."

Uh, my point was obviously that they don't trust their own hardware enough to show games running on their actual console. Instead they're tricking their own customers. I have no doubt that a game shown off by Naughty Dog at E3 will end up looking like the end product (if not better), but I'm not so sure about other game studios and third parties... This and the habit to show off CGI cutscenes annoy me to no end. 

Watch Dogs, Sonic, Bayonetta 1 + 2, Just Dance, Skylanders, Devil's Third (maybe?), and Hyrile Warriors are all pretty big 3rd party titles coming to the WiiU before 2014 ends. Lots of smaller indie games too if that's what you're into.

Lol, ok. I don't know how many dipters you might have. I just don't know you, so when you say "to me" you can say whatever you want afterwards.

What can I say? Go see the numbers (of pixels, polygons, textures, etc.) and the technologies employed on Destiny (game engine, effects, etc.).
