I doubt the Wii U can comfortably run 1080p for things that go beyond Nintendo Land style graphics. 1080p requires a lot more processing power than people think. If it was something easy to do on Wii U, developers would be jumping on that because it'd be a quick and easy way for them to add value to their Wii U project, a lot of these games are on PC (Arkham City, Mass Effect 3, etc.). |
Theoretically, the GPU rumored to be in the WiiU (Radeon HD 4850) is quite capable of doing graphics beyond Nintendoland in 1080p, at 60fps no less.
Some food for thought from a post that HappySqurriel made in another thread:
"The Radeon HD 4850 was able to render multiple games that were released for the HD consoles at above 1080p@60fps ... The technology required to hit this mark is old, low cost, with low energy consumption; and there is little reason to doubt the Wii U will be able to do this."
