So, chunk, If I´m not mistaken, you were assuming (don´t know if you still are) the Wii U - Durango/Orbis gap would be like the one we saw with PS2 - GC/Xbox, with the Wii U being 'the PS2', while Durango/Orbis would be 'GC/Xbox'...now, if the latest info is correct, would the gap be larger than you thought?

I´m not talking Wii - PS3/X360 gap here, but larger than PS2 - GC/Xbox was, something in the middle of those two situations.

At this point I still think its PS2 to Xbox, yes. But this is also hard for some to grasp as many give too much credit to PS2 and even try to argue it was at or better than Gamecube... it clearly isn't.

Also, keep in mind the Wii to Ps360 gap was pretty much almost generational as it not only included a raw power gap, but also a lack of certain technological features. Whereas WiiU will have all the same technical features and a similar architecture, just less raw power.

This should mean differences more like the settings on an average PC game. WiiU would be medium and others max.... or WiiU required and others recommended and so on.

But could it be argued that the gap between Wii U and PS720 will be more like Dreamcast vs GC/Xbox, rather than PS2 vs GC/Xbox?

Possibly, but I dont' think it makes much of a difference. Its still far from Wii vs PS360.

But just because it's not like Wii vs PS360 doesn't mean it's good... It's weird how Nintendo fans seem to accept things like that, "oh well, at least it won't be the same gap as with the Wii..." It doesn't make it any less terrible...
