every dev seems to be lazy on wiiu, i'm sure it's not the hardware nintendo chose  (sarcasm), and you keep calling devs lazy while you don't know the real specs cause nintendo hasn't released them and refuse to believe reliable sources.

Frozenbyte weren't lazy on Wii U. Nor were Criterion or Shin'en. They all got good results.

Ubisoft are the main culprit for lazy ports. (Assassin's Creed 3 and 4, Splinter Cell Blacklist)

Neogaf aren't a reliable source as they are simply speculating based on incomplete evidence.

Devs are the most reliable source:

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

"So far the hardware's been on par with what we have with the current generation, so, based on what I understand, the resolution, textures, polygon counts and all that stuff, we're not going to being doing anything to up-rez the game, but we'll take advantage of the controller for sure.

" Overall the hardware itself is slightly faster than the other current-gen consoles. One very nice advantage the console has is the additional usable memory you have. Having that extra memory made development much easier compared to other current-gen platforms."

"we already had our game released on the X360, and going from a console release to Wii U is easier since the consoles have very similar performance characteristics"

Sega: "From Sonic Colors, Sonic Generation and to Sonic Lost World, as we release the titles, spec of console has been improved. Thanks to the improvements of the processing power, in Lost World we were able to apply 60fps even in 3D action, which we weren’t able to achieve recently in Sonic."

Shin'en: "“The Wii U GPU is several generations ahead of the current gen. It allows many things that were not possible on consoles before."
