Yet the 360 ports didn't have such issues....

Pikmin3 is on par with other console exclusives. It doesn't show any sort of superiority. 

Wipeout Fusion is 1080p native...Don't try to be condescending when you have no evidence to support your claims.  The technology shows how electronics has become more efficient, but Ninty have chosen not to go with power, but efficiency in a small form factor instead. 

1) yes many of the WiiU issues are present on 360 on certain games, additionally, they are rushed ports. What part of that makes no sense to you?
 A full game ported from code optimized for completely different architecture (CPU focus vs GPU focus), created in a very short time by a team with zero experience on the new console. I was hoping for better, as were many others, but the facts are it simply could not happen. (hint: same thing happened on 360 launch)

2) I listed it as showing improvements over launch titles. Not that its best thing ever. You do realize it takes awhile for games/engines to be built and optimized?

3) wipeout is not on wiiu eshop. I was referring to games that are also ports, like Trine2.

Its been noted here many many times. WiiU has similar CPU, a lot more ram, a lot more eDRAM, a better GPU and far more modern GPU. Those all mean its clearly a more powerful system. Hell, just being able to match performance on games like AC3 while having no real dev time and outputting to two screens should prove this.

What I meant was that the games ported to the 360 from the PS2 & Xbox didn't have poor performance on the 360. This scenario that a brand new console performs worse then a 7 yr old console is unheard of, and rather bizarre. 

It was clear with the Xbox 360 and PS3 that they were significantly better then the generation before them. This is not the case with the WIi U. There has been no PGR 3 or Resistance. 

Yeah Wipeout is a 1080p game for the PS3 on PSN...I'm saying that 1080p native resolution isn't a new thing. 

The Wii U may technically have slightly better specs (let's not forget it has to power the pad), but I, and everyone else, is waiting for it to put theses specs to use in a game. There is no flagship Wii U game that screams "burn last gen, I am your master". 
Playing games on a brand new console to the same performance of one that is 7 years old really proves nothing...
