Here's what the source of this story has come out and said.

"We were aware that the "algebra" of both sources doesn't match.

A little history on this:

Develop has to cross-reference all unverified claims made to us before publishing articles, to avoid issuing inaccurate information.

We took these steps when revealing the Wii U pad uses a camera system: http://www.develop-online.net/news/37732/Develop-Source-Wii-2-pad-adds-camera-system

And we did so when explaining that Wii U can support two tablet controllers: http://www.develop-online.net/news/39077/Nintendo-working-on-Wii-U-support-for-two-tablets

And when we said Sony Studios were working on PlayStation 4 projects: http://www.develop-online.net/news/38916/Sony-studios-begin-PlayStation-4-projects

However, when we got the information about Wii U being "twice as powerful as Xbox 360" - in December last year - we were not able to verify the claim.

It was only when IGN's sources expressed that Wii U is far more powerful than the Xbox 360 that we were comfortable in publishing the story.

This was why IGN's sources are referenced in the article, because despite the "algebra" being out, both point towards the same thing.

We felt our readers in the development community would find this useful.

Hope that's cleared things up. If you have any other questions just ask.

December was when the debunked specs were flying around so it seems that they're reporting what was debunked, either that or this is a big cop out as other forums have put it.

Now you understand why I put a big confused face! ;) They needed to clarify the confusion with a letter it was so bad lol
