Thing is.. if THATS how a 'last gen' system looks when PS720 is released.. I'm gonna be quite content with my choice anyway :P just because something newer comes out, it dosn't make the fact that something looks good less true.
Art direction is king, SMG2 looks fantastic at times.. as does Halo4, they play in different leagues but they both look visually impressive.

Oh, SMG looks great, no doubt about it, and I agree that art direction is king! While having said that, I can imagine the new systems will improve on physics and AI - and that'll definitely improve the games coming out on those systems... And what I'm fearing is that Wii U will be left out in the cold by 3rd party support because of the inferior specs, leading to lower sales...

Could be the case, I want that ND about the 3rd party lineup like now before i predict about the support going forward. If the game engines are going to be heavily physics and AI driven then the WiiU is prob. going to be left behind.
What will eventually happen though (what i think) is at some point developers are going to have so much horse-power that they will be stumped what to do with it.
Unreal engine 4 sounded adaptable when they unveiled it. Meaning that as long as the GPU is powerfull enough to push polygons you could disable alot of the heavy stuff and still run the same scene.. that is, a game can run on all platforms on a optimized version of the engine with the same assets with no extra work from the developer.
There should be no reason not to release stuff on everything at that point. If that is the case, that WiiU can run that engine, why wouldn't you release the content on that system too?

Yeah, it sounded as if EU4 would be extremely scalable; they said it would work on smartphones. Then SURELY it must be able to run on Wii U?! As long as the graphics are scaled back, I have no problems buying a port to Wii U - but if they're starting to gimp that port, take away gameplay, then I'm just gonna get the game on PC. And I think that if a lot of ports are gimped, many people with either not buy the games, or buy another system for those said games - which in the end will mean Wii U will be without 3rd party support anyways...
