Yeah I'm going to stop here and just say you obviously don't understand how hardware works. Both articles have now reaffirmed that while the GPU may be better than what's in the PS3/360, the CPU is weaker, which drastically limits the consoles capabilities. Note in the first bolded sentence "OTHER AREAS", not "all", but "other".

Either way we have yet to see any game that looks "next gen" on the Wii U and because of this, the launch has been worse than the PS3 because we have to just work on the belief that it's next-gen rather as we have no evidence that it is (and frankly other sources believe it not to be).

You obviously know nothing about hardware if you think ported launch titles made with poor devkits are indicative of a system's potential. Was Call of Duty 3 indicative of the PS3's potential? Was Call of Duty 2 indicative of the Xbox 360's?

The digital foundry article confirms nothing because it is speculation. Speculation based on illogical reasoning to boot.

And I'm not arguing about 7th versus 8th gen, because gens are not defined by graphics.

Lol don't you mean software?..........

Fact is CoD 3 looked a hell of a lot better than anything available on either the PS2 or Xbox, same with CoD 2. The Wii U currently offers NOTHING that looks superior to the existing consoles. 
Oh right because the Wii U is showing us game demos that look as good as Shadow Fall....Oh wait......It looks like DF are quite obviously right on this front. If you think a HD4650 can keep up with a HD7850 you shouldn't try to discuss hardware. 

Well DF and EA seem to think gens are defined by power. Either way the Wii U has shown us nothing superior to the existing consoles, hence why it's launch has been a total bust. People weren't speculating the downfall of Sony with the slow sales of the PS3.
