Nope, based on the rumored specs (Mostly the GPU ones) it seems like the Wii U may be more powerful the the PS4. |
I'm going to save you some trouble -- the Wii U GPU is not a 4870. Not even close.
Have to ever seen a 4870? Look at your own numbers -- 150 Watts. Do you know how much heat that is? Remember the old PS3 ... the big, fat one? That one had a GPU that generated only 80 Watts (lol) and that was considered a ton.
The Wii U GPU is likely in the 30-40 Watt range at best given the size of that tiny casing (1/3 the size of an XBox 360 Slim).
Expect 360 level visuals. Some things will be better because of a more modern efficient design, some things may be a tad worse. More RAM. Etc.
Nintendo should've just gone with a 6670 GPU themselves. It's pretty watered down CPU, but it's probably a good deal stronger than what's in the Wii U now, isn't too huge, and would be a decent step above the 360/PS3.
