Funny how a little while ago graphics didn't matter and "it should be about the gameplay" but now threads and posts likes these pop up touting the WiiU as next gen.

I personally think the difference between PS360 and WiiU are similar to the difference between GC/WiiU. The performance and gloss in addition to raw power makes things like resolution and scale pop, but the actual leap isn't that great in terms of what the naked eye can see. Not like how when you see a PS4/XB1 game you know it will have to be severely downgraded on all levels to work on the prior systems.

So these 3 games probably could be ported to PS360 with downgraded performance/resolution, but the difference would probably negligible...especially compared to the differences between PS4/XB1 cross-gen games. Why? Because in terms of leap magnitude, WiiU is only a hop while PS4/XB1 is a high jump.

So why brag about these graphics at this time just because Nintendo finally caught up and surpassed PS360 when they are going to be trounced by PS4/XB1. If you want to call WiiU next gen, compare it to PS4/XB1. But if want to concede to the notion that WiiU isn't truly next gen, keep on comparing it to PS360 graphics. Ultimately, the idea that they are more comparable to PS360 than the upcoming consoles might speak loudest about the capabilities of the WiiU and its place in terms of tech prowess...


I think wiiu owners don't understand why we need more powerful hardware, for one thing, the bad AA on most games with impressive grahics, the frame rate on most third party games with impressive garphics, 720p needs to go and open world game having jaggies, bad frame rate and pop in, so far i haven't seen wiiu remedy any of these things.

except for the many announced games on wii u that have impressive graphics and run in 1080p, 60fps, no jaggies, no screen tearing, right?
