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.

Exactly, and I doubt we will see it from Nintendo, so this leaves not much left, sadly.
Btw, just realized a few weeks ago that Shin'en is in fact a German team... And iirc they have origins in the demoscene which would explain a lot.
