From what I've seen, and what most non-anonymous sources seem to agree, is that its between 1.5-2x the power of the current gen. I'd be surprised if the PS4/720 are much more powerful.

Remember, Ninety designed this with 3rd parties; it's their system.


I think this is naive. I'm sure Wii U will be fine for Mario/DK/Kirby/etc. but what would be the reasoning for MS/Sony to make consoles just a tad more powerful than the 360/PS3 that they already make? 

Sony's already said there's no point in releasing a PS4 if it's not a big leap over PS3.

This is basically going to be the Wii-PS3-360 all over again. Nintendo needs the touchscreen controller concept to come up big for them. 

Because new hardware ignites new sales, especially software. Seems backwards, but its true. PR is just that PR... you can't take anything they say for 100
% fact until the hardware is actually shown off.

Its more likely that WiiU will be up to 5x the power of PS360 and their successors will be up to 8x. Meaning they are only 2-4x the power of WiiU; i.e. a lot closer than Wii is to PS360. Should be a at a point where 3rd parties will support all three rather equally.
