This is a bit silly. Everyone expects the GPU (and the CPU) for the Wii U to be greater than the current gen consoles. This is hardly surprising - after all we knw the ps3 GPU currently isnt great and it wouldnt take much to surpass it.I mean seriously, if the specs werent greater then Nintendo could hardly say that this was a next-gen console. Speaking logically the Wii U had to have specs greater than the ps3 or xbox and anyone with sense would have thought the same.
However, this isnt the true test of the Wii U's capabilities. That will come with the next xbox and ps4 release. The important thing is not how the Wii U compares with current gen consoles but how it compares with the next gen consoles. |
Who really cares. 720/PS4 are going to be more powerful and probably push Sony/MS to lose a fair amount/unit upfront and release a year later.
If Wii U has a solid GPU that's great for games like Mario Universe, Bayonetta 2, Retro's future IP, Donkey Kong Country Returns 2, Zombi U-2 (heh), etc.
A lot of devs simply aren't going to have the money to push the PS4/720, for a lot of devs Wii U will be decent enough I think.

The specs that Nintendo released makes the Wii U to be the PS2 vs GCN or original Xbox for the upcoming console wars. The very least the Wii U would be comparable to the DC vs PS2(720 and PS4); which I would have wanted to see how far Sega could have pushed the system if it did stay for the system wars. In any case the PS4 and 720, will once again be sold for a loss compared to a profit like the Wii U.

Im not sure sure the ps4 will be sold at a loss. I dont think sony would be able to afford that, and they have already mentioned that the ps4 wont be as big a leap forward as the ps3. I suspect they will go with something a bit similar to the psv which may not be loosing money (or much) but is also not making that much money.
