Are we still entertaining ideas that the Wii U isnt next gen? For a non next gen system it sure is producing really good looking games that rival the so called "true" next-gen systems.

But does it really? It's not like you can compare this and Infamous SS or Titanfall on the xbox one. A fair comparison is knack, since they have similar artstyle (cartoonish) and MK8 mops the floor with Knack.

I agree with you, but because today's consoles are all capable of such impressive visuals, there isn't as big of a perceivable gap as, say, PS360 to Wii.

For example, when I'd play a good looking game on PS3 or 360 and then a Wii game there was a stark contrast there; even with lookers like Prime 3 or the Galaxies, the huge difference in resolution alone was easily noticeable, not to mention the other graphical elements.

Today, I can play Infamous SS or Titanfall and it doesn't prevent The Wonderful 101 or 3D World from impressing me visually, even if they are not technically at the same level.


At the end of the day that is what matters. Not the technical achievement, but the visual experience you perceive.
