Haven't quite seen a game like Mario Kart 8 on the PS3/Xbox360.

The Last of Us is a great looking game though, but it's a completely different style. It outmatched a lot of PS4/XBONE games that are currently out. But people tend to ignore that when they say Wii U hasn't produced better looking games than the PS3's finest. ;)

How convenient for them.

Let's compare games that are fair to compare:

Bayonetta 1 vs. Bayonetta 2. The latter game looks vastly better than the previous.

I've actually seen a lot better than Mario Kart 8 on ps3/360. Sonic transformed that is similar graphically runs at 1024x576 on wii u but is 1280x720 on ps3 for example. Both ps3 and wii u versions suffer from a little bit of frame rate issues and are beaten by the 360 version. Lets not forget cartoon graphics are much easier to achieve, more repeated textures, less realistic lighting, no complex physics engines etc. Mario kart 8 is not technically impressive but it is artistically very beautiful. I've not seen any wii u game yet as technically impressive as the best games of 360 and PS3 and I own all three consoles and a projector where every little issue can be seen.

Still I hope to be proved wrong with Mariokart. I mean it does have a later gpu architecture in wii u with an extended feature set over 360 and PS3 so games like Mariokart really should be able to show some advantage on wii u. It's really games that require higher cpu resources that fail to match 360 and PS3 normally and that shouldn't really be an issue with Mariokart.

Just got Mario 3D world and again very attractive artistically but certainly not technically impressive and nothing the ps3 or 360 couldn't do. In fact I'm sure in some ways they could improve on it.

If you want to compare the wii u performance level to other consoles you really need to compare games that really push a console. These won't be simplistic platform games or kart racers they will be huge open world games. X is the only game so far that seems to be in that area and from what we have seen so far looks a mixture of both good and bad.  On face value it looks like an upscaled version of xenoblade chronicles with a few graphic enhancements etc but no complex physics engine or weather patterns and effects. It doesn't look like anything as complex as Skyrim. Animations look simplistic and there isn't a lot happening on screen. It really looks on face value what you would expect, a game making use of a few more gpu resources but compromised by limited cpu power.

thats funy from you!! Sonic Transformer  is similar to MK8!!
