"I would imagine that due to the release schedule, Sony and Microsoft can maneuver knowing the WiiU specs, resulting with more powerful consoles at a better price-performance ratio, therefore a better value proposition for consumers."

Specs are not value for most gamers. That is a delusion the enthusiasts keep telling themselves. They said it about the PSP versus the DS. Even when the Wii started to falter, it wasn't because people magically realized the specs were too low, it was the games.

I mean, how hard is it to understand that with video game systems, the games are the real value proposition?

Incidentally, the games so far look really uninteresting (I don't care if many are tech demos, they are really dumb ones), and that is the reason to doubt this system, not this stupid myth about console wars being decided by the most powerful system.

And the Wii proved that without similar power levels of the other comparable consoles, it won't get the same games. Therefore, system performance does play a part in the scheme of things - if you have a PS4/X720 at similar power levels, and the WiiU at 50 or 60%, I would imagine that developers may pidgeonhole it like they did the Wii. That is why power matters.

since your stuck on 50% number i'll post a quick 50% for you her as well

say ps2 was 1,000 in power

ps3 is 10,000 in power.  Its what 10x or 1,000% more powerful

Lest say the Wii U is ONLY 50% more powerful, even though we have no idea what context that was taken in and what power was measured ect., but lets just assume 50% more

10,000 x 1.5 is what 15,000 power?  so it has 5,000 more power than the ps3.  the ps3 only has 10,000 total. 

and you guys are expecting the ps4 to have 100,000 power?  is that what your saying?
