The Wii U is likely more powerful than the current generation consoles with slightly better technology but it won't be a huge difference. It is likely to be between 1.3-2.5* more powerful than the Xbox 360 which is bourne out by the games seen thus far and the more credible rumours. I do expect the cost of the system to be between $199-249 and with the Yen vs dollar/euro conversion as it is that doesn't pay for expensive systems. |
I personally think you're aiming low ...
With the Wii U CPU being based on a Power7 processor (of some sort) and the GPU being based on a R7xx (of some sort) I suspect that after a quick and dirty port of the XBox 360 code base most games (probably) run about 50% to 100% faster than they did on the XBox 360. Developers who take the time to understand the Wii U architecture and take advantage of its advanced features will probably get 50% to 100% greater performance; and several of these features (like Tessellation) will improve the preceived performance.
