What can PS720 do to f*ck up Wii U's sales?

The Wii U specs are good, but they're only good compared to a PS3 and Xbox 360. Ideally I would want the PS4 at launch to be able to run Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2 comparable to the PC versions maxed out at 1080p and 60fps. I'm not exactly sure how good the Wii U specs are but I don't think it would be able to manage that. I'll put my hands up and admit that I'm a graphics whore, I'm a huge tech fan and it's one of the most exciting part about buying a new console for me.

Yeah, I love platformers too. There is a new LittleBigPlanet coming out for Vita, not sure about console though.

But aren't most new gen consoles only good compared to their competition? And Activision has hinted at BO2 running on 1080/60 frames on WiiU...

You mean new next gen consoles compared to existing current gen consoles? Not really, when the Xbox 360 came out everything else was blown away, the Dreamcast blew everything else away too. What we have seen from the Wii U has been great but it hasn't really blown everything else away, so I'm still expecting the next Playstation and Xbox to be a bit more powerful.

1080p / 60fps is a great achievement, but it is Black Ops 2, I wonder how the texture resolution and effects will compare to the PS3 / 360 and PC versions.

Oh, yes that's what I meant =) Yes, last gen was a major leap - but much of that is thanks to HD really. And as far as I understand these things (which I really don't) most gens doesn't make that leap. Sure every new gen gets better graphics, but most often they're not major leaps. And considering that Dreamcast and Xbox360 lost their respective gen to weaker consoles I'd say graphics aren't everything.

Take a look here: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=136756&page=1 and look up Viper1's reasoning towards the end of the thread about why PS4 can't afford to be a major leap because of exchange rate. I'm with you: WiiU will be weakest this gen, but I don't think that's saying a lot...
