WiiU is twice as powerful as the Xbox 360.
These specs would be 8 times as powerful as the 360.

So Xbox 3 would be 4 times as powerful as Wii U.

That would be quite a huge gap.

and I LOVE the fact, that Xbox 360 became a benchmark of a systems horsepower.


The WiiU early target specs show it being more around 3x Xbox 360. We don't know the final specs. It could end up 4x for all we know.

Xbox 360 has become a benchmark because the hardware isn't as exotic as PS3's.


This!
The 360 is used as a benchmark cause everyone knows what it can do.The console is maxed out for years now and only Engine tweaking for the Unreal Engine is showing some improvements.But that is thanks to EPIC and others who push that Engine.
The PS3 on the other side still hasn't reached its limit or is rather pushed all the time a little bit more...
We all thought Uncharted 3 will be the most beautiful game we will see in this Gen - There is no doubt any 360 game ever could reach those graphics...It isn't possible(please don't say Halo 4 - Still not in the same league).
And what did Digital Foundry say a few days ago? - The Last of Us is DESTROYING Uncharted 3 and is pushing so hard beyond it that it is completely stupid.
As long as Naughty Dog isn't saying they are done with the PS3 we don't know what the weird Architecture of that console is capable of.


And Devkits are always a lot stronger than the real consoles.
They need the power to test stuff out and find the point to still maintain a lot of power for the cheapest price possible.
