I'm not saying it isn't true... but it doesn't really matter until its demonstrated.

Well, it is nice to know that the potential is there.

The Wii had potential that was rarely taken advantage of.

We keep hearing the Wii U has a powerful GPU, but I'm really doubting we'll ever see a Wii U game that blows away the best looking 7th gen games.

If it can match or slightly exceed beautiful games like The Last of Us and Halo 4, in same the way the Wii slightly exceeded the 6th gen's best, I'll be happy with that.

It would be more appropriate to compare the Wii U to the 3DS.  Initially, the 3DS's capability was scrutinzed as being less or at most equal to the PSP despite having 2-4x  more RAM and a more modern GPU and CPU than Sony's previous handheld.  It wasn't until games like RE:Rev, Kid Icarus, and Luigi's Mansion did it become more apparant that the system was more capable.  Sheesh the fact that the Wii U is rendering 2 images in real time(one in HD) should give a hint on the systems capability!
