No, it wasn't. It was on par with the current gen but slightly better not "dramatically better". Next gen blows the Wii U's graphics away. When a CNN female anchor asked Reggie about the power of the next gen consoles he brushed the question off and tried to emphasize the graphics of the Wii U which is old and tired tech at this point. Now when they are far behind in graphics yet again Reggie wants to say graphics don't matter. He was caught by the media and people on Youtube. What he said was 100% pure hypocrisy.

Oh the irony...


I've played BLOPS2  on the Wii U. The graphics at slightly more crisp, but the framerate is basically the same and the handling isnt as comfortable as the current gen consoles, even with the Pro controller. Unlike most, I can actually say I speak from experience.

That's not the point, (though I'd disagree about handling, Wiimote blows away analogue) Im just aying, first you say it's not more powerful, then you admit it in the next sentence.


I've also played COD:WOW on my friends Wii and it is rather fun, but I still prefer the controller. 

As for the statement, no. Read more closely to what I wrote. Last year, Reggie was emphasizing the graphics of the Wii U over current gen consoles as if they already won some graphics war and the female anchor wasn't impressed, she basically alerted him to intel about the next gen consoles and he brushed it off stating "lets wait and see". There are video responses on Youtube about what Reggie said with people pointing out that if the rumors were true (which they were) it matters not how good it looks above current gen consoles. Secondly, the graphics were not "dramatically better" as he put it, they were slightly better. I've played all 3 and it goes Wii U>Xbox 360>PS3. Even the WIi U version of Ninja Gaiden was on par graphically with the current gen.
