Wii U is 'definitely more powerful than 360 and PS3' - Scribblenauts dev

Well, there's no real surprise here. The only people who disagreed were 'anonymous' sources. Everyone who was actually named who spoke about the WiiU knew it would be much more powerful. I mean, 2GB RAM? Modern GPU? All we need is the clock speeds for the CPU to confirm it, but so far it's looking very powerful indeed.

It's 1.5 gb RAM.

But yeah, it's clearly going to be more powerful than this gen. The real question is how will it compare to Orbis and Durango, and I think it's unlikely that the Wii U will be close to achieving what these other 2 will (physics, graphics etc.). I think it'll probably be able to run the same games, but with a lot of drawbacks. That's mostly speculation though.

I thought it was 3GB RAM with dev. kits, half in retail versions, and then 1/2GB for the OS? 

In addition, Nintendo aren't stupid enough to pull another Wii and be miles behind in terms of technical ability next-gen, and Sony/MS can't afford to make a loss on the system. So expect next-gen to be like GC/PS2/Xbox, minor differences, even if the WiiU is behind. As such, it'll likely get most of the multiplat ports.

First bit is correct, but it was 512mb for OS, which is rumoured, and could still be included in that 1.5gb, or just untrue since it hasn't been confirmed. Either way, I bet Durango/Orbis will have double that and will certainly have better CPUs, but it'll be the GPUs that dictate just how wide the gap is.
