We only have had a glimpse of what Wii U can do graphically and those who had a private showing seemed to be even more impressed.
Nintendo might do wonders in everything else, but if the graphics aren`t "that good" it hasn`t moved past this generation... Why is it all about graphics?


Well said. Honestly people are too focused on the graphical capabilities of games. But when do we ever stop to think about, hmm we don't know anything about the Wii U except for some tech demos. And if you ask many out there, the tech demos were very impressive. So the end question is just like how you asked, why is it all about the graphics?

I believe we can get a genuine answer until we see some graphical capabilities of ps4/nextbox.

Exactly, what has been shown has in no way shown what Wii U can do.
I do believe that the next xbox or PS won`t be nothing more than an evolution of what we already have: better in general, but nothing that really sets them apart, unless - and this is probably the only thing of real importance - they find a way to mix with games the same experience that people have with their TVs, Ipads and social networks.
More horsepower (not just graphics like oniyide mentioned) can`t be the only way for videogames anymore, all of them need to expand in what they can offer. That`s why i believe that all of them will focus less on horsepower and more on things that allow them to reach a bigger audience.

Strange thing is, since Wii was such a letdown in some things this generation, and supposing it will correct them in a  strong way, Wii U might just have more of an impact than the other two!

I can`t speak for Sony and MS, but i do believe Wii U`s 3rd party support, online support and appeal to "Ipad"/"Facebook" users might be greater than we think.
Fingers crossed!
