 how much actual infomation about the power of the system can be drawn from this? my guess, not that much

I dunno, I'm sure someone with a lot of tech savvy can do some ballpark deduction from the "three times as much heat as the Wii" bit.

I suspect this means that the Wii U (probably) is using between 40 and 50 Watts, and looking at it I wouldn't be surprised if the GPU is using 30 Watts. This could mean that the GPU could (at best) perform similar to the Radeon HD 7690M XT (TURKS core, 40nm, 25 Watts)
