In order to be doable on PS3, a game has to use less than half of Wii U's RAM, not to mention never touch Wii U's superior DX10-11 equivalent GPU features.

So do you think MK8 could be done on PS3 or not? If yes, you're conceding it doesn't come close to using Wii U's full power.

Well, to be blunt, claiming either is pretty silly, we have no idea how much Ram Mario Kart 8 actually uses, it could use 256Mb for all we know or it could use 1024Mb, just because a console has 512mb, 1024Mb or 8Gb, doesn't actually mean that the game is forced to utilise the entire pool.

Doesn't it seem odd to you that a showcase game would leave half the system's RAM unused at any time? That's like a 360 game never using more than 256MB.
