At this point it won't matter if it has a noticeable performance leap.

Thanks for finally admitting that it does have a noticeable edge compared to current-gen systems.

Too bad you have a game yet to prove the worth of the WII U's power. 

Bayo2, X, MK8, even Pikmin3 and W101 when you consider that they are also pushing visuals to the gamepad.  The PS360 could barely do 720p without screen tears so that proves it.
