honestly, who the hell believed EA in the first place? if Frostbite 3 can run on the PS360, then why can't it on the Wii U which is more powerful? if Crysis 3 with the CryEngine 3 ran on the Wii U "beautifully" on the Wii U, why can't Frostbite 3 run on it?

ugh you don't get it either.
EA NEVER said that WiiU can't run Frostbite 3. That IS the lie that people have made up.

if they say the console can barely run FB2, what does one automatically assume for FB3?

First of all they never said that FB2 barely run on WiiU.
They said the results weren't too promising, which could mean a lot of things.
What obvious is however that it didn't run as great as on other platforms, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with putting more work into it and/or downgrading the games.
But as they said in article in the OP, it wouldn't be worth it for them, since the userbase is low, it would be too much work/investment for little (if any) profit, and they don't want their engine to look ugly.

FB3 is on top of that more scalable. You're mistakenly thinking that a new version automatically means that it's more demanding, which is not necessarily true or how is it possible that BF3 on PS360 looks better than BF:Bad Company on PS360 even though BF3 runs on FB2 and Bad Company on FB1 (while both having the same resolution and framerate) ?

Another example would be that CryEngine 3 is less demanding than CryEngine 2.
