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.

An example that was horribly, horribly wrong?

Why use the term "super computer" for any reason other than literally? It was wrong and people talking about "supercomputers" have no idea what they are talking about. Do they mean gaming PCs?? 

I could agree that there was probably a better word for it . And yes, personally I took it as meaning high-end PC's.

Okay, the thing is though that the GPU is lesser then an 8800 Ultra, a top end 2006 card, and it certainly won't have the same low latency ram, OC'd Q9950 or Raid 0 HDD's. So the Wii U is like an entry level enthusiast gaming PC from '06, rather then a top end one. 

And if we are talking about gaming circa '06/07, the real question is: Can it play Crysis?
