first the source said that the PS4 had an integrated GPU on the CPU that will work together so technically you should probably be almost doubling those PS4 numbers.

Second the wii U has a r770 based GPU which is anything from the 4730-7870 with the 4730 being weaker than a single 6670 that is ignoring the advances in GPGPU and tessellation etc the newer architecture brings.

The Integrated GPU on the PS3 might not be cut/not even used. Also its a piece of crap and still wouldn't double it.

Alot of rumors state its the 4870 or close to it. and if you really think the 7670 would be good at tessellation etc you most be joking, its a low end card.

Like i said im just going by rumors, people are easy to believe the ones that says its going to be weaker then the PS3 and 360, this is just showing facts based on the rumors.

And the is no reason Nintendo would pick the weakest of the 4xxx Series GPU's, when they can go to the top of the 4xxx GPU's for cheap, unlike the 7xxx series.

1. Which rumors? I would love for you to provide a link since all the rumors I've seen only say R700 series. They don't mention any specific GPU.

2. Because the top of the 4xxx GPUs is more expensive than the other ones. Because the 4870 consumes 150watts which is way too much?

The original XBox 360 used 155watts while idle in the dashboard. 177 while playing Halo 3. Keep in mind these watts include the CPU and GPU and everything else in the system. 

The HD 4870 uses 150 watts BY ITSELF! Nintendo is definitely not using this in the Wii U unless they want high rate of failure and a noisy system.
