The power difference between PS4 and Wii U is not that significant. Of course the PS4 will produce better graphics, but the Wii U is capable of toned down versions easily.

Only very physics heavy games could be hard to reproduce on Wii U.

But there is also the other way round: Wii U with its unique hardware design and fast connection of CPU/GPU and eDRAM could some things easily that would take an enormous amount of cpu/gpu power on PS4.

Underlined: Now you're just messing with me.

2. Programmers can do amazing things with edram. You get many graphical effects practically for "free".

Whilst that's true, you're seriously comparing a small amount of eDRAM on the WiiU to 8Gb of dedicated, higher bandwidth GDDR5 RAM in the PS4?

Do you honestly think the eDRAM can compensate for all that extra RAM and a GPU that's 5-6x more powerful?
