I don't think Nintendo cares to show its cards Nintendo also does not want to get graphic whores hopes up. Nintendo knows they don't want anyone to be dissapointed so they are not going to give any indication until the console is fully unveiled.

Nintendo is essentially saying no comment in a way that doesn't deny or confirm this way nobody will be dissapointed. It is always smart to keep expectations low so that you surprise and impress. I am still expecting 2x to 5x the power. It will be capable of running a 1080p game at 60fps. The Wii was slightly more powerful then the Xbox I suspect WiiU will be slightly more powerful then Wii was to Xbox. Nintendo will want to produce a real HD console.

Also judging by the recent hiring from CryTek I suspect Nintendo will have something impressive to show at E3. Also positive that WiiU can run BF3 at PC resolutions as well as titles like The Old Republic. The game console will not be the next high tech device but am pretty sure it will be able to run any new software released this year and likely in 2013.

Cant wait to see the hardware. Most likely 2.5x the power of 360 probably 2x the power of PS3 however times the power of 360 was.

It will be capable of running 1080p game at 60fps without "much use," of the controller. But if a game relies heavily on the controller it will  run a bit less.

ALL frame rate vriables are a factor of how much you throw at your system and how much it can handle.    Even the Wii could render a 1080p game at 60fps so long as the complexity of the on screen action is very minimal (provided the output resolution were not capped at 480p that is).

You can't say Wii U can't do 1080p and 60fps if the tablet screen is in heavy use as it is solely dependant on the game itself.  How complex the geometry is, how many shder operations are going on, how much AA is being applied.
