I'm more interested in how long it will take for you all to be proven wrong and that it's about as powerful as 3 x Wii taped together (not 2, but there was no choice for 3 in the poll).

Then we'll get on to crow eating and inevitable trapped rabbit arguments of hilarity before final acceptance. Bit gutted because that's going to more than likely take another 12 months to happen.

Because we already know it's at the very least 5 Wii's taped together based on rumored CPU specs alone? And if you count just the system RAM then it's 32X more and at least 64x more efficient? XD and the GPU is not even comparable not only in power but also huge generational gaps? You are one crazy man.

Theoretical and practical are different things.

We are currently in the theoretical wait and see stage of hope, soon to be mass denial followed by acceptance. There's a way to go yet.

...I read a poster when the Sega Saturn was released, it said it was 800 x more powerful than a Sega Megadrive/Genesis.

yes, you are absolutely right, but it's not 3 Wiis taped together, even if you clock the CPU down to 729MHz running single core, in it's state with more cache, it'd still be faster than a Wii ^^;;;;; nobody is saying it will be as powerful or more powerful than what Sony or MS is going to offer or saying that the Wii U is leaps and bounds above the PS360, but it's definitely more powerful than the PS360 just based on graphical tech improvements alone. Hopefully your denial will be followed by acceptance soon.
