I'm glad Nintendo went with the IBM PowerPC, which I have reasons. Now I don't know how true it is, but I have read a article somewhere saying the PS4 is almost maxed out.

Developers were saying that about games a few years into the 360 and ps3 life cycles, mostly as a pr move.

you can write a crude program to do nothing but create random strings constantly, it will rape the cpu and gpu compute, throw in some dense shader and it will be using up the entire systems resources, thus, "maxing it out" but what you see on screen will be neigh on worthless.

theres a difference between maxing out hardware, and making the most of hardware EFFICIENTLY.

Something tells me you don't know what you're talking about (it's a hunch).  I will say this though, we all know the Wii U looks weak on paper compared to the XBOne & PS4.  I read that the way the Wii U was designed it punches above its weight.  Shin'en says the Wii U is several generations ahead of the X360 & PS3.  Retro says the Wii U is a powerhouse and developers shouldn't overlook it.  Sony loyalist is quick to defend the PS4  which I would think twice about given Sony's track record.  It will be real funny if the Wii U is more powerful, because devs are not aloud to speak on it.

Is this for real? Or are you pulling our leg? It would be really funny if the Wii U is more powerful than the PS4... It would also be a little weird considering it's not possible. Maybe in an alternate universe? lol

BUt I agree it's a little more powerful than it's given credit... but it's a much smaller leap over PS3 and 360 than XOne and PS4 are. They are all Next Gen. The PS4 is the unquestioned most powerful, the XOne almost right beside it but a tiny step down and the Wii U holds its own a little ways behind the XOne. It's pretty much just like the PS3, 360, and Wii. Except the Wii U  might be closer to the other 2 this gen than the Wii was. 

I don't understand why we have to debate this anyways. There is already some awesome games for Wii U and they are great looking and fun. Shouldn't it end there? Isn't that enough?
