Maybe, I might be underspecing Wii U. How many GFLOPS can it push? From what I read Wii U is between 350-530GFLOPS. So at the minimum, PS4 with 1.84 GFLOPS is 3.5x as powerful as the Wii U. At a maximum it's 5x as powerful.

Also this would put Wii U at 1.5 to 2x as powerful as the PS3, so WiiU is still closer to PS3 then PS4.

bolded: those are imaginary numbers, people who looked the inside of wii u saw a slight similarity with a certain gpu and haters quickly spread that wii u used that gpu and had that low flop number. even though everybody knows it's a highly custom made gpu that share similarities with many others.

Either way, even if that difference were true, it would still be many times smaller than wii vs ps360, with wii u having modern architeture like the others and at a time where graphics are getting stagnant.

I agree, Wii U for instance can support 1080p, 60 FPS for games that look pretty damn good (Pikmin, X, even Super Mario 3D World). There might not be a lot going on in SM3DW, but the resolution and fluidity of the gameplay is significantly out of the reach of PS360.

Wii couldn't even do HD, where Wii U is on equal footing to PS4/Nextbox in terms of resolution.
