I know people have different ideas on what the term "next gen" means, for me, tech wise, I consider it to be in the same league as Xbox/PS3. Nintendo are in their own little timeframe.

The argument that "Look at the early games on PS3/Xbox" and look at these ones made later, would have been true had the wii-u came out at the same time as those consoles. People look at those early games and immediately think they will get the same level of improvements on the wii-u over the next 12 months. They won't and they will be disappointed.

When the PS3/Xbox came along, these were a big step up from the previous gen, process, software and performance had to be worked on, and it took a while to get these tools/systems in place. They are not starting from scratch now that a wii-u has come along. The major thing that companies can work on for the Wii-u is the performance stability but certainly from 3rd parties, its whether they have the inclination to do so... over time if 3rd party game sales increase, there will be improvements, but I really don't think there will be this big leap in graphics from the current games coming out such as BO and AC3.
