Another quote by a developer "actually" developing a Wii U title on the power and versatility of the Wii U: http://wiiudaily.com/2012/10/wii-u-developer-wii-u-is-a-powerful-versatile-machine/ Anyone still thinking that the Wii U is on par with the last-gen HD systems must be the same people that threw fits when Bayonetta 2 was announced as Wii U exclusive!!!

No one thinks that... the Wii U specs are better than current gen but not that better.

It's not like 3x or 4x the PS360... it's just 1.5x.

I think Wii U still will have trouble with 1080p@60fps.

Rendering two screens that add up to 150% of the pixels at twice the framerate of highly optimized XBox 360 & PS3 games in launch games developed (primarily) by second rate external teams ... Yeah, that sounds like "50% more powerful"

 

Realistically, the GPU is probably between 2 and 4 times as powerful as the GPUs on the HD consoles; and, when game engines become as optimized for the Wii U as they have been for the HD consoles (resulting in a 50% to 100% improvement in performance) and developers reduce the framerate to match most HD console games (resulting in 50% to 100% more detail on screen), this performance difference will likely become more noticeable.
