Is it possible that Nintendo has organised with various developers to "lower expectations"? What better way to preserve the sense of power without boosting power further, than to convince people that the system will be weaker through rumours and hints?

I wouldn't be surprised if, next month, leading up to E3 in June, rumours start claiming that the Wii U will just basically be capable of Wii quality graphics, only in HD - in other words, a graphics boost just barely enough to compensate for the higher resolution, and nothing else. Never mind that we've seen tech demos that blow the PS3 and 360 out of the water - most people have remarkably short memories.
