and to go back on power.... the big difference between sony/ms and nintendo is that the 2 first are much more than just a console now.... and depending on what they plan on the multi media side.... but if they go the multi tasking way they'll need the extra ram.... and cpu power... ie for dual screen play or who knows you might be able to watch hd movie stream in one room play in the other while video chatting at the same time and dvring your fav show.. anyway on pure speculation i'm sure it will be more powerful than the wiiu just for that simple fact not even because of games requirement... but that's my opinion especially for MS which first intend with the xb is to follow their windows customer where they consume media now that the good old familly desktop in the office room is a thing of the past...
