For all of you using some random X multiplier, please stop. You are just proving how little you know what you are talking about.

And for those saying X Console will have Y GPU, please stop. You are just proving how little you know what you are talking about.

Cave men will paint buffalo on the walls, Viper. It's going to happen. Yes, it's easy to acknowledge that a measure of "FLOPS" doesn't represent any sort of meaningful insight into graphics capability or architecutre; yes, it's easy to acknowledge that direct power comparison based on numbers on a sheet of paper will not translate into real world performance; yes, it's easy to acknowledge that inference of power based on nothing is now so far removed from reality as to be essentially menaingless.

One is left with three options.

1. Pretend the discourse makes sense for the sake of making a point. THis is the route I'm taking. I know the words I'm saying don't mean anything to the people who understand hardware, but in order to communicate with people who see hardware that way, one has to use the vernacular of the discussion.

2. CHange the discourse with an explanation of real meaning.

3. Ignore the discourse.

So what will you do?

Comparing figures is fine so long as they are meaningful and have context.   Just randomly saying Wii U is X times power and Next X is Y times power without a single bit of real data for a basis just asking for a battle of the BS.
