I'm sorry, but I think you fail for putting the highest option as 100% more powerful than PS3. Especially that you say ''heavy price tag'' next to it.

It wouldn't be very expensive to produce a machine several times more powerful than the PS3 and 360 combined. If Wii U is as 'powerful' as you suggest in the OP then I would even say that it wouldn't be very expensive to produce a machine several times more powerful than the PS3, 360 and Wii U combined.

I however think that the Wii U will be quite a bit more powerful than you are suggesting there. Maybe 3-5x as powerful as PS3.

'Powerful' not being a very definable word of course.

Umm considering many still consider the PS3 to be capable of competing with current PC technology. Then I can't see WiiU or any console being more then 100% more powerful then PS3 especially if they are to be released by 2013 as many are suggesting. Though I admit I should have gone higher in the poll.

Current gaming PC's aren't even 100% more powerful then PS3 to my knowledge. Look at the best and most power driven game for PC released to date BattleField3, that is not 100% more powerful then PS3 infact I doubt its even 50% more powerful then PS3. I doubt you could release a 100% more powerful system even in 2014.

Now I'm not a PC expert, but I know that developers are saying WiiU is 50% more powerful then PS3. EA said that WiiU could handle BattleField3 which is state of the art releasing this winter. I can't see how a console could be 50% more powerful then that by 2013? And 100% released anytime soon would be radiculously more expensive then WiiU!

I'm going to respectfully disagree with everything you said. I have seen a guy play Crysis 2 on 3 monitors with full settings. I doubt whether the PS3 would be able to render that with more than 2FPS at any given time lol.
