Wii U "surprisingly powerful," textures "could be used in a movie."

When you consider that most HD console games are running at (below) 720p and struggle to run at a steady 30fps even though the engines have been highly optimized for these systems after being on the market for 6/7 years, and these same games have been ported to the Wii U and are running at 720p@60fps while outputting additional graphics to the tablet screen, it is very fair to say that the Wii U has demonstrated that it is far more powerful than the HD consoles.

With that said, the area you would expect to see the biggest advantage is (probably) textures being that the Wii U GPU may have a substantial amount of eDRAM that could act as a texture cache, the Wii U has substantially more memory, and both would translate to being able to render more textures which are also higher resolution.

At this point, the only people who still really believe that the Wii U is not more powerful than the 360 and PS3 are people with a devotion to  ignorance. 

Well said.
