Everyone remembers the whole Sony hype machine that famously declared PlayStation 2 to have "Toy Story quality graphics", but what would happen if Nintendo played the same game?

I ask this mainly because of my discovery of the WiiU containing a POWER7 based CPU, the same base used in the building blocks for Watson. For those of you who don't know, Watson is a supercomputer that recently beat two of the world's best Jeopardy players at their own game.

So why doesn't Nintendo push this? Get the hype machine going with "It's built of Watson! Imagine the AI capabilities!" Yes, I do know there's a lot more to it than that, but I was just wanting people's thoughts on the matter...
