That thread was locked as it was a poor explanation of the info being presented and still worked at GAF.
Look at what the article actually has as facts and you'll notice that 1/2 of the GPU still has no defined purpose yet. There's still a lot missing.

Read the OP of that thread and you'll notice its not as bad as the DF article suggests. In fact many at GAF are quite pissed at DF for selling it so short and labeling it as such.
Facts are the GPU is probably around 352 to 450GFLOPs. It has amazing efficiency and a lot of memory. Its likely 2x raw flops than 360 and the NXbox is like 3x WiiUs flops.
It has the same or similar tech base and is simply not as powerful / fast as the rest of next gen.
For perspective.... Wii * 20 = X360 *2 = WiiU * 3 = NXbox *1.5 = PS4. (according to flops on GPU, of course there are many other factors)
"Next-Gen" has a variance similar to PS2/GC/XBox generation and in short only THE most demanding games would likely have a technical reason to skip WiiU but in reality Rol is likely right and it won't matter what as 3rd parties will go out of their way to skip them.
