Of course the Wii U has more power than the PS3 and Xbox. As the YouTube videos of call of duty show it is leaps and bounds better than what the HD twins had at launch. However we don't live 6 years ago so this comparison is pointless. We need to compare the launch Wii U games with their competition today. This is where the Wii U appears to be just slightly stronger than the PS3 and Xbox. Fast forward a few years and with optimization Wii U games will have evolved past anything even remotely possible on today's systems. In time it will look like a "next generation" graphics powerhouse, just not at launch.

Probably around the time its games start to look blatantly better than the HD twins is when Microsoft and Sony will need their own next generations.
