Who says anyone's proud of it?
And how do you know that the next gen console's specs will be so great compared to Wii U? We know nothing about them yet, let alone whether they will be powerful enough to render the Wii U "obsolete." I'm not sure MS, and especially Sony, can afford to take massive losses on their consoles again next gen, so I wouldn't necessarily expect anything revolutionary in terms of graphics/specs, unless we're in for another $599USD. From what I've seen from the Wii U games, they look good enough anyway, and probably will at least hold their own with Sony and MS's stuff. I can't see the graphics of their consoles being that noticably better than what we have now, at least not to the point in warranting $500 on a new console. So what exactly will make the Wii U obsolete? A few more polygons and slightly more detailed textures? Give me a break.
Wii U games already look on par, or I dare say even a little better than current HD console games, and this is pre launch.. In 4-5 years, I'd imagine the visuals will look significantly better, similar to the 360 launch games comapred to current games.
I mean honestly, is this really not good enough for some of you?
Not sure what the hell people are expecting to see out of Sony and MS's new console visuals, but I have a feeling many will be disapointed. There is only so much room for improvement left before we reach the point of photorealism, and we're getting close already..
