Take a look at the supposed size of the WiiU. You can't make a very powerful console with so low power requirement, I'm sure that Nintendo has done a good enough, very power optimized console (the EDRAM rumor hints to this) but it can't be several times more powerful than Xbox360 or PS3 with so tiny power profile. |
I take it you haven't been paying a whoe lot of attention to gaming laptops in rencent years?
Over time parts become much more energy efficient at smaller sizes. Look at the size of the N64 then look at the size of the DSi Lite. There isn't really much to it beside working out the tech.
You can make a system taht is 5 times the strength of the PS3/360 that is is 1/4 its size.
Nintendo's main focus is price.

I have been paying attention to gaming laptops, as I have one. They are harvested, underclocked and undervolted chips, only that. They are more efficient than desktop chips as power consumption increases quadratically with the voltage, and you can approximate it to a lineal increase with the speed. Laptop parts aren't different than desktop parts, at all, unless you are talking of the underpowered Intel Atom and things like that.

Since you understand that, you should also understand that a game console is not a desktop...
|
XBox360 and PS3 aren't desktops, too.

Nope, but they are also 5-7 year old tech.
