I completely agree that the wiiU is a generation ahead of the wii. To bad the wii isn't a current gen console. It's between ps2 gen and this gen.

the bullshit haters say...

 

it's remarakble -___-

No HD, which is kind of the staple of this gen. How is the wii a current gen console in any way? It can barely keep up. The wiiU is known to be maybe 50% faster than current gen. No one can say that the wiiU is a next gen console though. It won't keep up with anything in a few years. 

If that's true, then no gen 8 system is truly next gen. All of the upcoming consoles are weaker than even a basic gaming PC, so they're all betting that power can't completely buy success. No suprise that Nintendo bet a good notch lower than MS or Sony to afford the gamepad, but ALL of them are betting low.

I'd agree, I wish they were a little stronger. More in the range of a 7870 or 7950 as oppossed to 7850 and 7770. But remember how much people bitched about an expensive console? That's what we get. Even though microsoft and sony are betting a little lower than I'd hope, the wiiU is going to have trouble keeping up with next gen consoles, and 3rd party devs are going to have trouble making games for all three consoles because of the power difference. If it had twice the ram at a faster speed, it might be doable.
