The quote you quoted isn't correct btw. More cores doesn't mean more power. And if the clock speed performance for the chips are similar (we really have no real reference on this) between the Wii U (1.24ghz) and the PS4 (1.6ghz) then it isn't much of a leap at all actually. Also, the video cards are NOT vastly superior in the PS4 over the Wii U. What the PS4 does have going for it though is that it is using newer architecture, but that also means that the price will be reflected in that. The Wii U likely used older but updated architecture to keep the cost down, plus it is actually a hybrid of technology. People have said it looks like a Radeon rv7xx chip (radeon 4800 series chip). This could be true although the Wii U's uses a smaller die size which means you should be able to get more performance per watt as well as have less issues with heat. These chips were actually VERY good only a couple years ago and that was just as they were, with some tweaking and the smaller die size puts it right in competative midrange graphic capabilities to todays standards but with a much lower cost then latest technology. The PS4 uses a GPU that is new technology and supposed to be the equivelant of a just under 200 dollar GPU, but on an APU (CPU + GPU on same die) however with it being an APU it shares resources. In the end we will just have to wait and see what both are capable of because most of this is conjecture and theories.
Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
