But it doesn't make sense. Wii U isn't weaker than current gen systems, and you can't prove it is. Have people forgotten about the Zelda HD demo and the Bird demo at E3 2011?

Also, look at this Pikmin 3 video:

The lighting and water-effects (when the crab walks out the water) are never before seen on current gen systems. Maybe there are some games coming close to this effects, but the PS360 are already years on the market. Wii U is a new system, the architecture has yet to be understood. Remember how more beautifull Twilight Princess was on the Gamecube than the demo they showed earlier. So a much more beautiful Zelda is already possible on Wii U than the E3 2011 demo.

And also: WHO CARES ABOUT POWER.

I don't know about the the Pikmin video, but most experts were unimpressed by the E3 demos and believed those effects could have been replicated on current gen systems.  It was the artwork, especially with the Zelda demo, that blew people away.  You might say it was a tiny bit dishonest, though we're talking about business, so I wouldn't hold it against them.  Any of the others would have done the same thing.

That aside, though, I agree that raw power is mostly overrated and that the Wii U is fine.
