 RE: power usage between consoles... just because they use 4x the electricity it doesn't mean they are 4x the power of WiiU. settle down folks. AMD uses more power and runs hotter than intel or ibm. WiiU has a heavily efficient design and architecture. 

4x more power consuption means a CPU and GPU at least 8x more powerful than Wii U... Wii U is weak.

I very well could be wrong... but I still think they will be more in the 2x or 3x in power to WiiU. But, as I said, we'll know soon enough.

We've heard Xbox with 4, 6, 8, and even 16 CPU cores. IBM to AMD.

We've heard Xbox with 7xxx to 8xxx to APU config (where a 8xxxx is actually 7xxx tech) to a 8xxx mobile variant, etc.

There's still too much uncertainty in what is actually there. Surely they'll be far better in CPU as WiiU's CPU is not its selling point. But the GPU is good and most have argued its around 500GFLOPS. I expect ~1TFLOP for the others.
