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

But its still running games at 720p. I would hope a console just twice as powerful could do a full 1080p. To put that in perspective... its the same reolution the 360 has done for about 7 years.

All we know is it has more RAM. But others specs could be inferior or just equal. We'll have to wait and see.

Actually is running games at 720p PLUS 480p for the gamepad. So is not the same resolution as the Xbox360.

The RAM available for games is higher (tiny bit more than twice), and the GPU is more up to date, it seem is a 2009 design vs a 2005 design, so it has to be better even working at the same clock speed. The only thing that seems to be around the same level is the CPU and is one of the reason they went with a GPGPU architecture.

I doubt the tablets are the only thing keeping the Wii U from running games at 1080p. I believe the Kinect has multiple cameras capturing at 480p.

The GPU being more current argument doesn't hold much water. The Wii had a more current GPU than the original Xbox... but it didn't appear to put out superior visuals.
