EA Sports Engineer: Wii U is crap, less powerful than 360. No money for 3rd parties.

The CPU is a completely different architecture. It's a OoE CPU. I'ts not an apples to apples comparison. The 360 CPU and the Cell were exceptional at number crunching but highly inefficient at everything else.  What's happening with the Wii U is quite simple. Developers are slapping code optimized for the 360 and PS3 onto the Wii U without the necessarily optimizations.

I did not know that. So I guess we will never know how powerful it really is =/

Oh we will know. It's just that it will likely be a Nintendo developed game that shows what the hardware is capable of. My bet is on Retro's next game

I swear to god that 6 months ago I was dreaming about buying a WiiU to play the best version of Aliens Colonial Marines man, that game was supposed to be amazing, what a bummer the way that thing turned out.

But, it will be interesting to see what happens when NINTENDO releases a game that looks next gen.
