Justified? Hardly. The same people that complain about weak specs also consider the PS2 to be the greatest console ever. Now given the FACT that it was far weaker to the GameCube and Xbox, yet they still consider it quality and part of that generation of consoles only shows they are being biased. Some are so pathetic they've even convinced themselves 233mhz is more powerful than a 800mhz PPC based chip such as in xbox.

Every reason people are bringing up applies to past consoles yet they wont see it the same way.
When PS4 and X1 have game droughts it wont be seen the same as it is now on Wii U.
Just like lower clock speed was a huge issue til the fact PS4 also had lower clock speed came out and now it isn't a fact that lower clock speed equals next gen.

PS2 wasnt FAR weaker than GC or Xbox, Wii was FAR weaker than PS360, theres the difference. Plus PS2 didnt release 5-6 years AFTER there were consoles on the market stronger than it.

Actually as far as processing power goes.. (If you go by that..) The GC was a 486 MHZ.. which is a little over twice the power of the PS2.. so looking at it on that spectrum alone.. yeah.. it was far weaker than the GC andeven more weaker when compared to the XBOX.. and the Wii.. yes far weaker than PS3 and 360.. but they are both in the same boat.. if you look at their best titles.. damn if you can notice it.. they compared very well side by side.. with the competition.. and I think the Wii U does a very good job of this too.. and this is a system that is already almost a year old.. these others are brand new and not even released yet.. and yes I know the graphics will get better on PS4 and XBONE.. but I also know they will get better on the Wii U.. I know the Wii U is going to be the weakest.. and yet.. it will still be a strong in side by side comparisons with other consoles.. Just as the PS2 was.. and The Wii Was... 

I think there is more to it than MHZ and I wouldnt even put PS2 and WIi in the same boat, PS2 actually got alot of games that its superior console brethren got, cant really say the same for Wii as ALOT of games got skipped over due to lack of power on Wii's part. Hell the games that were shared by Wii and the HDs the difference between those were night and day, they werent even the same games in some cases. Again not really the case with PS2 and the GC XBOX ports, there were noticable differences but nothing too crazy.

I disagree WIi u just doing a good job, IMHO is not cutting it, not when its only barely looking better than consoles that have been on the market for years. We are already seeing games that look better on PS4/x1 and they are not even out yet, whats gonna happen when devs really harness the power. Wii was never strong with side by side comparisons, that was one of the problems. What games were you playing were you can honestly say you didnt notice the difference between the HD and Wii versions. Besides the DLs, and Rayman, hell you can even see a difference in JD
