We'll see. I hear the Wii U still has a disadvantage in CPU versus the 360/PS3, I wonder how much of an importance that will play. I honestly don't understand my tech stuff too much, but I believe the SNES was in a similar position versus the Genesis. It was capable of producing much better visuals but struggled to run action-heavy games like SHMUPs without some considerable frame drops.

The CPU is likely clocked lower but it also likely handles more operations per clock cycle making the early reports of it being weak or clocked low irrelevant.

This.

And on top of that the Wii U has a DSP-Chip that handles all the sound and music effects without CPU, that could easily consume 15% - 30% of the CPU in some Xbox360 games.
