Is the Wii U less powerful than a seventh generation console?

What disturbs me even more is that the Wii U isn't even powerful enough to run Gamecube games; I tried Rogue Squadron II, a game from 2001, on it the other day and it couldn't even load the title screen on the disc player menu. Rogue Squadron II is clearly too complex a game for the Wii U's feeble CPU.

I'll wait for a Digital Foundry assesment before believing that!!!

But DF has already confirmed Wii U can't run CPU intensive games.

If it can't run Rogue Squadron 2 now, it never will, everyone knows the Wii U is the first console in history to be magically maxed out at launch!
