EA Sports: Wii U “absolutely” a next-gen platform

Like others said, next gen means the next in line, the successor, it´s not all about 'power'.With that said, I know when people have doubts about the Wii U being 'next gen', they´re wondering if the system will clearly display much better graphics than the 360/PS3.

Personally, what I´m most curious about is seeing the gap in power between the Wii U and the next Xbox/PS4, not between the Wii U and 360/PS3.

Given the direction of the Wii U ('core' first, 'casuals' later) and all these doubts, I imagine it´s in Nintendo´s interest to prove once and for all, at E3, that Wii U games do look better than their 360/PS3 counterparts.

I for sure hope so. It would be very interesting to see a 3D Mario title in glorious HD

Well, since all Wii U games will be HD, a 3D Mario in glorious HD, like you say, will happen, no doubt about that haha.We all know the Wii U will be Nintendo´s first HD console, what I really mean is, it´s not about showing Mario and company in HD with graphics compared to, let´s say, God of War 3/Gears of War 3/Uncharted 3, etc..it´s about showing Wii U games that are clearly superior to those three games I just mentioned.One month from now, at E3, show graphics that absolutely can´t be rendered by the 360 and PS3.
