If the Wii U was comparable to the PS4/720 it'd have no problem running every game in its launch window at 1080p without even breaking a sweat. Assassin's Creed 3 and Madden NFL and Batman Arkham City shouldn't just be "maybe a little better", they should be easily better than the PS3/360 versions.

Wii U is marginally more powerful than a 360/PS3.

PS4/720 are going to be large leaps ahead of all of those platforms, Sony has said it themselves, there's no point in making a PS4 until it can be a very large leap above the PS3.

It doesn't really matter though, because third parties treat Nintendo like crap anyway. Nintendo doesn't just have an issue with hardware fidelity, they have a massive demographic problem. The kids who play Call of Duty/Assassin's Creed/Halo and all those types of games are all XBox/PS first type of gamers.

Just because Nintendo is now finally getting ports of franchises that have been on their PS3/360 for years now is not going to impress them. And then when 720/PS4 comes out, they're going to see games like Star Wars 1313 and Watchdogs, which are either not going to be on the Wii U period (as of now, it's a no) or are going to have to be scaled down to run on the Wii U, and really of that demographic, how many people do you think are going to buy the Wii U version?

The Wii U runs Assassin's Creed and Batman at 1080p; whether it's native or upscaled is beyond me. Ubisoft said they aren't spending much money on their Wii U games right now so Assn's Creed and their other launch title won't look that good. Like I've said on these forums several times, there won't be an insanely high jump unless Sony/MS wait until around 2015-2016 to launch at a decent price, and do you really think BOTH of them will wait that long?

As for the dempgraphic thing, you're pretty much right, but Nintendo hasn't shown us how they'll get the hardcore. At least give them an adequate chance to show us before the system launches. Games like Watchdogs and other multiplats would work just fine on the Wii U because the Wii U can run UE4 ie, they won't be scaled down.
