Guys, let´s wait till E3.
The Wii is an anomaly, it´s the first time Nintendo released a very underpowered home console compared to the competition, and since they seem hungry for all those core 3rd party games, they can´t afford such a big gap in power again.
So, I imagine the Wii U will indeed be more powerful than the 360 and PS3, and less powerful than the next Xbox and PS4, the important question is...by how much?
2 questions:
1.how much is the gap in power between the Wii U and 360/PS3?...the answer to this question, I expect to see this year.
2.how much will the gap in power be between the Wii U and the next Xbox/PS4?..the answer, probably sometime next year.
