the wiiu is under powered compared to its competition and pc, its not the hard to understand, the gpu, the memory bandwidth, amount of ram, are all extremely weak, just look how much the parts cost, if you looking to to save a 1$ on your electric bill then i guess you should be happy about the 30w.

It's "competition" isn't out yet. It has more than twice as much RAM as currently available consoles.

And you'll save a lot more than $1 on your electricity bill with a console that consumes less than half the power if you game a lot. I also like it when my console is small for easy portabiliy and space saving, quiet so it doesn't annoy me with a loud fan, backwards compatible so I don't have to switch consoles to play my last gen favourites, and unlikely to melt its GPU.

wow twice the ram then consoles that came out 7 years ago, very impressive :p, come on now, this is one of the longest generations ever, the on;y console that has good specs is ps4, while the  720 rumored specs are descent, and even i still think the ps4 should have went with a better gpu and 4 gb of ultra fast ram but the wiiu is just is extremely low specced for a console coming out in 2012.

PS3/360 are still, at present, industry standard. The Wii U isn't underpowered compared to them.

PS4, PS3, 360, and 720 are all designed as graphical monsters. The Wii U is not. It's designed to be small, quiet, cool, reliable, energy-efficient, and backwards compatible. It succeeds in what it sets out to accomplish. Power isn't the sole standard (or even the primary standard for many) by which console hardware is judged. There's more to it than that.
