The thing is you are assuming Nintendo fans think the games will look as good as PS4/xbox one. No one thinks that. They simple think the games can look better then the current efforts put out by the ports.


This is what I was going to type, nobody believes that the most advanced PS4 games will run on a WiiU, what we Nintendo fans want to make clear is that the U is still a good step up from the PS360 (think PSP vs. 3DS or Dreamcast vs GameCube/XBox) and will show us beautiful games despite it´s technical limitations.

Nintendo has ben obsessed with their memory subsystem since the N64 (which was bandwith starved), the GameCube´s memory was ahead of it´s time and there is literally no single negative comment about the WiiU´s memory syste , they knew what they were doing (inlcuding the huge caches on the CPU. which iirc are as big as the XBoner´s...?)

The very worst estimates I found for the edram were around 72 gb/s (taken from the infamous NeoGaf thread)...memory bandwith is the least of WiiU´s worries.
