I think a few people on these forums suffer from these two things *cough* Ninjablade *cough*.  I'm sure there are some more formal pyschological terms, but they escape me at the moment so I'll just describe them in lamens terms.

1.       You (Wii U) can't even compare to my worst (360, PS3), how dare you try to consider yourself comparable to my best (PS4,X1) attitude.  By artificially placing the wall of comparison further back (360,PS3), they feel it protects the integrity and greatness of that which they prefer (PS4,X1).  I could provide an example here but I think this is pretty self explanatory.

 

2.       Moving goal posts.  You can NEVER win.  You’re weaker than current systems.  Later on, you’re on par with current systems.  Later, you’re BARELY more powerful than current system.  You could prove tomorrow (official announcement lets say) that the Wii U is 600 ish GFLOPS.  Certain people on here would say “Yeah, but you cannot notice a difference between that and the 360, it’s not enough.  In order to notice the difference in graphics from last gen, you need about, 1.2 to 1.8 TFLOPS.”  Wow, how convenient!  Again, moving goal posts.  In many cases, point 2 ties in with point 1.

I never said there was one.  I just found it highly coincidental that he stated the exact situation you posted and it took only 3 posts later to happen.
