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.

I stand by what I said before. Graphics mean nothing these days. The leap isn't nearly as noticeable, neither is the comparison with Wii U and PS4/Xbox1. What it comes down to for every system is games, plain and simple.

Graphics mean nothing these days, which is exactly why Epic told Nintendo to use UE3 for the Wii U, correct? The power and graphics requirements have shifted and Sony and Microsoft have delivered specs so next gen games can finally be created, which the Wii U cannot handle. If they didn't need it to differentiate the games from this generation they wouldn't have asked. Multiplayer on a next gen level will not be available to Nintendo and neither will expansive games that get past 1GB. basically after the first year and a half of life the next gen consoles will have left Nintendo in the dust in RAM requirement alone. Western developers are the ones to ask about next generation tech specs, not Japanese third party.

Does it enhance gameplay in anyway like it did back then? SNES to 64 changed the way games were played, but the PS3 and PS4 doesn't do that nearly has much. People aren't just going to buy a new system for "enhanced visuals". Sure, there are the tech geeks that want them, but new gameplay experiences are what people want. PS2 was weaker than the GC and look how that turned out.

I'll guarantee you that.........past the first year the Wii U will get left in the dust because Nintendo didn't put their thinking cap on. There are many games within the first two years that will come out that the Wii U will not properly be able to handle on the multiplat end. This is what will desparate the Wii U gen from the Xbone and PS4 generation. There will still be a divide even though the gap was bigger between the Wii, PS3 and 360. They keep creating divides between the third parties and themselves. Sony and MS pushed the graphical boundaries of what was expected to be a bridge generation. Its the gen after next that will be the leap in graphics.
