How much more powerful do you think the Wii U is compared to PS3/Xbox360.

"When the Xbox 360 came out it's games looks crazy good compared to the previous gen."
Kain, i agree with everything you said but this, they didnt, in fact until Gears of war appeared none of the Xbox games really showed the power of the console beyond the resolution compared to previous gen best looking games such as RE4 and SW:Rebel strike

If you look at reviews of the first year of games you'll see a lot of praise for graphics. Even ports like Call of Duty 2,  King Kong, Quake 4 were applauded for being a substantial step up from the previous gen. The bump in resolution was a big factor, but few could argue that Project Gotham Racing 3 and Condemned weren't graphicaly amazing for the time.

"The bump in resolution was a big factor." Thank you for this. This is the advantage both the 360 and PS3 have over the gen before them that the WiiU does not. On top of that why do 3rd parties need to go above and beyond the 360 and PS3 capabilities when 360 and PS3 and have much larger userbases then WiiU? This is why this next gen is going to be hilarious. HD gamers are hoping for beast which will only ensure higher price tags, but they also want the 360 and PS3 to have long life spans. As long as 3rd parties are making games for 360 and PS3, the WiiU will easily walk all over the PS4 and 720 because their adoption rate by the previous consumers will be much slower, while Wii previous consumers have no reason to continue to support the Wii since the WiiU as taken nearly all of its attention. If what I'm saying isn't true then what is going on with the Vita and PSP situation? As long as the PSP is still a good buy, current PSP owners have no reason to upgrade. Ninty is killing the DS for a reason.
