Man i find it funny how anyone could believe this really, just judging by the Zelda Demo and that Garden them at last years E3 anyone can see the WiiU is much more powerful then the 360 and the PS3. And them Demos where running on weaker Dev Kits then the ones now. I also find it funny most of the people that believe this rumor are Sony fans.

Well to me both demos didn't look better than God of War 3 so...

That has nothing to do with the graphical capabilities of the system. How the GoW devs used the PS3 to offer such amazing visuals is something they will be able to do on the WiiU (even more easily), using their Santa Monica magic. The same could be said about Naughty Dog. Put them on WiiU and you'll see fancy visuals too. The Zelda demo wasn't there to show hyper-realism, since Zelda is still very cartoony in the demo (when compared to the likes of drake or Kratos).

Rather, the emphasis was on lighting, reflections and particles. But that's something a Nintendo fan knows because we actually listened to the guides explain the tech demo. Also keep in mind it makes use of the controller in advanced ways, and we know such software will not be able to make use of the system's power to its maximum capability. The Zelda tech demo simply shows what the system can offer, and by it you can tell it is above most current HD game software. To compare with the biggest games like GoW, you would need an apples to apples comparison. Put a full game on the WiiU with realistic graphics (non-cartoony) and then compare.

Then how could someone see that the demos are more advanced than anything on PS3 and Xbox 360 when there is hardly anything comparable to it (for example a SMG type game)
I know what the demos were trying to show, but saying that lighting, reflections and particles are much more advanced by (purposely) sacrifying detailed models and textures is hardly an excuse.
So from what I can see. The full product "God of War 3" looks better than the demos. That doesn't meant that some individual effects might look better in the Wii U demos. However I'm not yet conviced that Wii U graphics are that much better than PS360 judging from the demos.

Last gen we got a Killzone 2 trailer that blew anything available out of the water and it fully delivered. As I said in a different thread, the Samaritan demo is the only one so far that truly looks like next gen to me and that was still done with a modified UE3. UE4 will deliver even more.
Though I'm saying that Wii U will be unable to run UE4 games.
