I don't think we're talking about the same thing ...

Everytime the rumours about the Wii U have changed you can see the opinions of some people flip-flop between "The Wii U being more powerful is meaningless because the HD consoles are good enough anyways" and "The Wii U is garbage because it is not dramatically more powerful than the HD consoles"

You must be new to vgc, but let me explain to you "our" train of thoughts.

720P graphics on PS3 is awesome. ( in 2006 )

720P grahpics on Xbox360 is meh. ( 2005 )

720P graphics on WiiU is garbage. ( years later in 2012 )

 

Okay, now that you're up to speed, continue discussion.

fixed i added some context... i personally don't understand how some people expect people who've owned HD consoles to be impressed with a visual showing that is just on par or slightly ( from what we've seen ) better than what they've been seeing on the consoles they already own.

the only thing that nintendo has shown so far to truly differentiate the wii u is of course the tablet controller and while some of the capabilities they've shown are interesting ( like accessing an inventory from the tablet ) the overall presentation was lacking... then theres also the fact that the wii u as a games platform unlike the wii isn't completely unique :

so far people are imo justified in being skeptical

Are you telling me PS3 will be garbage in 2012? How dare you! I demand you apologize to all the Sony fans here.
