The chipset? What is so special about it? It is better than many want to believe but there are not much mysteries left, I think.

What's "special" about it, (or to me, simply "interesting") is that it's very different from 360 and PS3, so ported code is not an accurate reflection of its capability.

It's a quirky design whose potential has not been tapped yet. I find that fascinating.

 

So were a lot of consoles, perhaps PS3 still unrivaled. I also like stuff with potential but the question is if we ever get to see a game which maxes out the hardware which would be sad.

Regarding porting the code: Well, it's most probably the same ISA so code will run. But if it would be my code and I would have to rewrite my code to make a game run on WiiU I would also be not that happy.

Whether it will be maxed out remains to be seen, but there are certainly promising future games that could push it farther than anything we've seen thus far: X, Project CARS, FAST Racing Neo, whatever Shin'en's other mystery game is...

Thing is, nobody has made a ground-up Wii U game with the aim of being graphically intensive yet.
