FLOPS are not comparable. Architecture differences make straight comparisons meaningless, so you can't say Wii U < PS3/360. Wii U isn't powerful compared to today's expectations and possibilities. That's a fact. Does that mean it's not capable of outputting nice looking visuals? Of course not, and no one said it couldn't. Nintendo's art style and visual aesthetic lend itself well to weaker hardware as they can hide a lot of the technical flaws of the system. But just because their games look visually appealing also doesn't mean the system is somehow packing a much greater punch that it actually is. Accept what Wii U is and move on. Every system will be capable of delivering nice looking titles. It's just Wii U will be severely outclassed technically by the PS4/XBO and won't be able to do everything they can.
