Read my edit. :-p

Edit: I almost forgot, the wii u also has more memory to allow it to store better textures so that's one factor for it being able to get better visuals and maybe performance. Oh and I think nylevia would agree with pemalite's and my assessment of the wii u being more "powerful" but technically I would rather use the word more "efficient" because its more appropriate to the situation at hand.

Edit: My attitude was a mix of both negativity and neutral.

Well, memory isn't a metric for determining "power", even 1GB of RAM would do wonders for PS360, but it won't suddenly bust out a bunch more graphics processing power, there will simly be more room for nicer stuff and such with extra RAM. Like Frozenbyte's comments on Wii U's graphics processing power being enough to handle the expansion of Trine 2, while for the PS360 it would need to be downscaled. Several things they added wouldn't be benifited by having more RAM, but by having more raw power, which Wii U had for them. Not a considerable amount, but enough to handle those extra graphics processes. 

Memory isn't a metric for power but the wii u would still lose in terms of the standard metric of power.

 

Do you have a statement of them saying that trine 2 directors cut is limited by "power" ? There are more than one factors for graphics performance other than proceaaing power.

"the Wii U is a truly powerful console. The console is definitely more powerful than the Xbox 360 and PS3" - Julius Fondem, Frozenbyte.

How about the line before ?

Does not contradict the quoted statement about it overpowering PS3 and 360.

"Power" is a very vague term and it sounds like they got more help from the memory to be able to have a better output on the WII U.
