No one has had launch time woes of performing worse then a 7 year old console....That's  a new one. The PS3 and 360 did not have that problem...

That's not true.  The PS360 were both outclassed by a PS2 that was coming off of a dominant performance and outsold the competition month after month.  What you're saying is not true. 

What are you on about?? PGR3 was clearly far more advanced then any game any of the existing consoles offered. What game performed worse on either the PS3 or 360 then it did on the PS2/Xbox/GC???

We're not talking about the same thing.  I'm talking about sales, you're talking about hardware power!

Misunderstanding.

But yeah, you're right.  But the Wii U will perform above current gen once devs develop specifically for it or develop software with it as lead console.  Quick and dirty ports for launch always come up looking like this.

Exactly. One merely has to point at games like G.U.N and COD3, to see that the PS2 versions often looked better or the same as the 360 versions. Seems so long ago now.

Obviously previous generations had such leaps as adding 3D or notable power, and it's one of those things where 2x as much power may make it look 10% better. So it's far more a cost/power scenario now than ever.
