Nonsense - everybody knows (as confirmed by some of Nintendo Witnesses here) that WiiU packs 1.21 Gigawatts of power, surpassing significantly even yet unreleased AMD HD9990 level GPUs, brought back from the future to Nintendo by no one else but Doc Brown himself.

Quite unnecessary.

I agree, no console needs plutonium-powered 1.21 Gigawatts of power. ;)

On serious note, when some people around here start claiming that WiiU is 1/2x XOne and 1/3 PS4 (4770-4850 performance), for which you would need something close to 896:48:16 VLIW5 GPU at WiiU's clock of 550MHz, which at 40nm fab is bigger than the whole WiiU's GPU package, let alone area reserved just for GPU (minus eDRAM and the rest)...well, making BttF jokes is really mild overreaction compared to alternatives.
