I'd argue that graphics discussion doesn't have to be kept to only the cutting edge to be interesting.

I agree. Just look at games like Wind Waker, Okami or Fez. Games that aren't cutting edge but beautiful (and a few cross generational) nonetheless. But this thread was about the technical limitations one console has compared to another...released 6 or 7 years apart.
So while people stating that these new WiiU unreleased game screenshots look better than 6,7 or 8 year old PS360 screenshots, I just found it ironic that they'd be touting the technical superiority of a WiiU in relation to PS360 when PS4/XB1 are on the horizon and those consoles graphics are what should be compared to the WiiU. You don't see people stating the obvious that PS4 games will look better than PS3 games, because there's no competition. WiiU on the other hand doesn't fare as well.
But I do agree that there are all different types of interesting graphics discussions to be had. They're just not very relevant to the topic at hand for me, at least.

Well, since the Wii U is closer in specs to the PS3/360 than to the Xbone/PS4, being a console focussed on its interface (and being small, reliable, cool, quiet, and backwards compatible) rather than horsepower, combined with the secrecy surroundings said specs, those of us with an interest in tech find it intriguing to try to gauge from the evidence at hand just where it stands.

Didn't see it that way. I'm not tech savvy so I just look at screenshots and stuff. I've read spec comparisons but really don't know much about them to share an informed opinion. Good to hear that perspective and understand why some people would make such comparisons. Still, the disparity between WiiU and PS4/XB1 graphics overshadows what the WiiU is capable of compared to PS360 for me, but I was never a huge Nintendo fan. I mean, my first console was a SNES, but I am not really a brand loyalist in general.
