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

Couldn't be further from the truth.
The Wii U kicks out out a Petaflop? Why make stuff up? The Wii U is equivalent to a supercomputer from '96 and so was the Wii.
BTW I think people are confusing TFlops with Gflops.

Yes, well, if you'd want to take the term literally. The PS4/720 will be a supercomputer from '97. What's the point?
This was probably meant as an example only.
