There is not anything to be surprised about.  I'm well versed in computer technology and can tell you my analogy provided above will be quite accurate.

I can go into some serious technical details about thermals, heat dissipation, wattage, die process ratios, etc...to back up why they can't be that huge of a jump over Wii U.


Thats good. If you've read Reggies responses to the graphics you'll find that he and Nintendo are not hung up over graphics.

They never have been nor is it even relevent.  The gulf narrowing is't because of the power of the Wii U but the lack of power in the PS4/Next X as it relates to their 7th Generation counterparts.

You simply can't put a 250 watt GPU inside a console case without cooking the plastic you house it in.   The GPU's that the PS3 and X360 were based off of only pushed around 70-80 watts.  Everyone expecting a PS4/Next X GPU pushing anything higher than about 100-120 watts is going to be disheartened.


Welp, I doubt Epic is worried about Nintendos specs right now, eh? Thats my point. The pressure is really only on MS and Sony. Im betting mostly Microsoft though because you know how financially chummy MS and Epic are.
