So much denial of reality in this thread.
Whatever the wii u is capable of its doing it now. While Nintendo may not have released the spec to the general public (because its so terrible) developers will have full information. Same cpu architecture as before, well documented low end modern gpu (likely mobility design), a small amount of high speed embedded memory and low bandwidth main memory. Nothing amazing, all a very cheap design. Performance poor for modern ambitious games but perfectly adequete for cartoon graphics and a huge generational leap from the wii.
For those who think the wii u is powerful why not wait until there is some evidence to support your view (you'll be waiting a long time) before commenting. It just looks ridiculous to write about the power of the wii u when its generally beaten for most games by ps3 and 360. I might as well write about the 360 being close to the power of the xbox one or the ps3 being close to the performance of the power of the ps4 both stupid statements but no different to claiming the wii u is powerful.
At this point in time both ps3 and 360 have a wider choice of technically far more impressive games than wii u and ultimately thats what matters.
