I guess the big change from PS360 to Wii U is the available RAM for developer... 1.5GB is way better to work than 512MB.

The tri-core PowerPC (the lastest release to date) is nothing so different than the PowerPC used by 360.

And GPU not surprise me yet (that's my bigest unknown).

RAM is more than size. Speed is a large factor. I would take 1 GB or fast ram over 2 GB of slow ram anyday.

The 360 uses a Power5. The WiiU uses a Power7. Google should be able to tell you the differences.
