lol....Are you serious? Anyone who as read up on the Wii U knows that it will be slightly more powerful than current gen consoles. That being said, when the next Playstation and Xbox come out they will be far ahead, much like this where the Wii stood this gen to the PS3 and 360.

Really? The next PS and Xbox will be "far ahead"? Do you have a source for this claim?

Oh, right - it's an assumption based on personal opinion. Carry on.


My "assumptions" are based on demands set by Epic and other companies who put out new engines.

Actually, they're based on rumours of demands set by Epic and other companies combined with personal opinion. Note that Epic's talk regarding UE4 suggests that the Wii U might be a bit weak to run UE4 at intended level, but not dramatically so. So if rumours are accurate, the next consoles don't have to be "far ahead", only somewhat ahead. You know, PS2 vs GC/Xbox type distance. There are things that the GC and Xbox could do that the PS2 couldn't (see comparison of RE4 for PS2 and RE4 for GC as an example, as it's one of the rare cases of a game designed for GC then downported to PS2).


It's been agreed upon in the media that its U4's differences from U3's power requirements on this gens consoles will be exponential. U3 took current HD consoles to their limit. If the existing consoles cannot handle U4 the Wii U will barely be able to scratch the surface and survive. As I said before, luckily its Nintendo. Games should be tailor made for their platforms. Sony and Microsoft will be warring against themselves.
