nintendo's leadership has made statements time and time and time again that raw power and graphics is not important to them. if you are expecting the wii U to be a significant leap over sony and MS then you fundamentally misunderstand nintendo,

There's a difference between graphics not being their focal point, and using similar graphical powers to the *last generation* of consoles. I suppose this trend really started when Iwata took the reigns, because every time I hear this argument I always think back to the older generations and dismiss your argument, but if we split Nintendo off into old vs new Nintendo, then the new Nintendo has thrived on giving power that is more similar to the previous generation. You're right.


you're point is well taken and as a result i updated my post to state "nintendo's current leadership".   wii might look like an exception nintendo's overall history but the leadership that created the wii is still leading nintendo and has been quite vocal out their stance on the subject of graphics -- it is a low priority.  they prioritize innovating the controller and the wiiU is no differnent in that nintendo's banking on the gamepad selling the system...not via raw power.
