This is what Nintendo has always done really save for Wii.
NES was a super computer...by 1982 standards when it came out in 1985.
SNES was a super computer...by 1989 standards when it came out in 1991.
N64 was a super computer...by 1994 standards when it came out in 1996.
GC was a super computer...by 1999 standards when it came out in 2001.
Wii was a super computer...by 2000 standards when it came out in 2006.
Wii U is a super computer...by say, 2009 standards when it comes out in 2012.
Nintendo's model assumes profitable hw + mass consumer adoption + strong internal games = massive profit. Wii came at the most difficult time in Nintendo's history so they spent less on hw than usual

Wrong! Wii U is a super Computer by 2007 standards. I could build you a PC now for $400 that easily performs better than the Wii U.

hm.. yea the G92 (8800 GTS 512) released dec 2007 and the HD 6670 is about on par with that in power

I like how the definition of super computer seems to be what about a measly $800 or so could buy.
