Wii U games have the ability to look stunningly beautiful. It's all about whether a developer decides to take full advantage of the hardware or not.

Tech specs do not sell hardware, as evidenced by every previous generation of consoles  and handhelds that have come before.

Nintendo, in particular, has proven this with basically every machine they've ever made, except Virtual Boy.

Yes, but, note this: it wasn´t the amazing Nintendo games that made the WII an amazing sucess, it was the motion thingy and the balance-board thingy, it made girls ans odl people want the console, buy it, play it for a couple of hours and then, never touch it again. These 20-30 million mega-casual-one time gamers look really good on the charts, but, like the Kinect crowd, aren´t real gamers and aren´t loyal at all.

Real nintendo fans and gamers are a much smaller number, but they are loyal as hell. WiiU will probably be a sucess, like the Gamecube, it will turn a profit and that is all that matters. If Sony sell more PS4 and get a loss in each one, it will still go bankrupcy. Turning a profit is all that matters and Nintendo knows it.

However, to an seasoned gamer that don´t care about brand loyalty, the WiiU is not the next big thing.

Hell, if MS releases an amazing new machine, I will buy it, if sony does it, count me in. I was going to buy the WiiU if the games look and play much better than the ones on my current consoles, but htey don´t.

No disrespect to Nintendo fans, I am just saying how I REALLY feel.
