in this post, I learned some people live in alternate realities.
your comparison is beyond delusional and pure flamebait since ps4/xone gpu's are quite behind the mentioned 7990, as far as gflops goes. while wii u's gpu is unkown but from the information we have a good guess puts it equal to or above the mentioned 5770.
what is clear by now is that diminishing returns already aplies in games performance. in pc, a game can run in low/mediun/high/ultra high. all of those are the same game without major differences, yet to run ultra high you need a gpu that's way more powerful than one that can reach medium. that means a lot more processing just for minor details that generally go unoticed.
the fact that wii u's and ps4/xone's gpu share the same features means that wii u can do everything that ps4 and xone can but on a lower proportion. we know that Xone's gpu has 1200 gflops and ps4's gpu has 1800 gflops and while wii u's gpu specifications are yet unkown, we have alredy seen early wii u games outperforming late ps360's titles without breaking a sweat. by comparing to ps360, wich are in the range of 240 gflops, we can estimate a value of 500-600 gflops for wii u.
That difference is not big considering the level of processing required to reach a noticeable difference in graphics, wich means that just like pc settings, a game tha runs at 1080p on ps4/xone will surely run on wii u at 720p and a few effects like anti aliasing reduced here and there.
I'M GOING TO MAKE MY POINT VERY CLEAR IN THIS PARAGRAPH TO AVOID FUTURE HATERS TRYING TO DISTORT MY WORDS. I DO NOT THINK WII U CAN RUN GAMES IN THE SAME LEVEL OF PS4/XONE GAMES. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEMS ARE ALL CAPABLE OF THE SAME FEATURES AND DO NOT HAVE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN RAW POWER. THUS, WII U CAN RUN ANY GAME FROM PS4/XONE, ALBEIT WITH A SMALL/MODERATE GRAPHICAL DOWNGRADE. AND GIVEN THE LEVEL OF GRAPHICS REACHING PERFECTION NOWADAYS, THIS DOWNGRADE WILL BE NEGLIGIBLE TO THE EYE.
