i believe companies like microsoft or sony can get informations of the competitions products very easy if they really want. i still believe wii u will get better looking games, at least some exclusives over the next years will look better.

yea, when/if the Wii U is maxed it's games will most definitely look superior to anything we have seen on PS360

it's initial games probably will look similar to those though, maybe with some added AA/AF/dx 10/11 effects and a real 720p native res instead of sub HD resolutions

What do you mean by Max? The technology will be there available as soon as they receive developmental kits to design games for the Wii-U.

How they bring about the game will be dependent on the developer, although they would have to be pretty dumb to make a downsized Wii-U version of a multiplatform game that is available on the PS3/Xbox360 at least in terms of visuals, contentwise is a different issue (i.e. AC3 for the PS3 is compatiable with the PSVita version to unlock certain stuff/Wii-U version with better minimap support).

I mean when devs know all the little details how to bring out the most of the hardware. Every architecture has it's strength and it's weaknesses and devs need to learn those to really push the graphics a system is able to output to it's "max".
