Sorry if asked already but based on Info Wii U should be fine in regards to tech stuff right?

Depends on your definition of "fine".

 

Will it likely have plenty of great quality games no matter what?

Yes

If it is too low on the power scale, will it get ALL or even most AAA 3rd party games?

No

In reality, RIGHT NOW we still don't know the answer to the 2nd question. They are still breaking down the GPU as I type this.

What we do know in comparison to the rumors for the other consoles in the OP and what is happening so far with this GPU breakdown.

1) NXbox/PS4 is ~ 3x better CPU than WiiU.
2) NXbox/PS4 is ~2x to ~10x faster RAM than WiiU.
3) NXbox/PS4 is ~4x to ~2x more RAM than WiiU.
4) NXbox/PS4 is ~4x to ~6x more powerful GPU than WiiU.
5) All three have the same basic architecture and will support nearly the same technologies/shaders/etc.

So yes, at those rates it seems reasonable the WiiU could have scaled down versions of almost any game. But that realy depends on the game. If a dev put out a game that even on NXbox/PS4 had no AA and already barely ran at 720p30fps.. then its highly unlikely that game coudl be scaled down to WiiU. But if it was a game that on NXbox/PS4 was 1080p60fps with a good amount of AA, then its arguable they could turn off AA and reduce it to 720p and it would run on WiiU.

Only time will tell and of course more info from all three of these designs as there is a bit of speculation going on here based on these moving targets.
