Seriously WHAT DOES THIS MEAN


- Wii U will be very weak compared to the rumored Orbis and Durango, even if it shares some technologies in the GPU. But it's not as bad as the "Wii vs PS360" scenario, where the Wii not only lacked the horsepower, but it also lacked the technology.

- The Wii U's GPU seems to be a very customized chip, even if it's based on a standard GPU, and that doesn't necessarily means a good thing. Third parties will probably ignore it because it would be hard to get good results out of it, and probably will think that it's not worth the time and investment.

- In the right hands, this thing could provide some good stuff (see Factor 5's games on the Gamecube).

- This thing is more advanced than the 360 and PS3. Probably lacks raw horsepower in comparison, but the more advanced tech will probably make up for it, and will provide better results in the end.

- Nintendo focused on a "low-power" philosophy... a bit too much.

- Apparently, it was a top priority for Nintendo to provide native backwards compatibility with Wii games. This hinders the design of the console.
