I'd be happy enough with 720P 60FPS at pretty good details on consoles TBH since I know they are weak, I just don't know what people are expecting from the GPGPU other than for decompression, physics and "maybe" some AI assist.

Iwata told them it'd be a magic wand, I think.

There is no magic wand, there is just money, if Nintendo can toss enough money into it, then they can at least contract people into creating something for them that would be a wrapper for Havok or PhysX or other physics APIs for the GPU and ship that off in the dev kit to offset the weak CPU.
