I actually think that Watch Dogs are confirmed for THIS gen (PS360); if so, it won't be 1080p60fps on WiiU either :p I imagine that either Retro's game or the new Zelda (or another Big title) will push the WiiU somewhat - just like you said.
 

But what do you reckon the power of PS720 will be then? With the current rumors... =)

At this point, I'm certain Watch Dogs has no platform listed. To me, that means its intended for 'next-gen' and since only one of those consoles is confirmed, they obviously have left that info out.

I think neXtBox/PS4 will be at most 3-4x the power of WiiU. Which is far closer than Wii and more along the lines of PS2 to Xbox. Then considering dev costs keep going up and WiiU will already have common engines that will be used accross the board, there is no reason it would be ignored on multi-plats unless it just bombs during this first year of solo sales. (unlikely)

I completely agree with this; or worst case scenario it'll be like PS1 to N64...

One thing to note in the power difference of WiiU vs PS360... its not just the raw power, its also all the new technologies and shaders and such that make the biggest differences. WiiU will have the same capabilities in that regard as the others of this coming gen.

So, if I understand you correctly, Wii U will have slightly worse graphics compared to PS720, but will have the same level of shaders an stuff like that?




Yes, I think so.
