So, Mario Kart 8 moved consoles despite Wii U design

How is it that MK8 is not a Wii sequel with higher resolution? Was it the gliding from MK7 or the limited anti-gravity feature that marked the difference between generations?

Most definitely. Both gliding and limited anti-gravity would not have been possible on the Wii due to HW-constraints.

Next gen, we will get full anti-gravity, not limited one. Of course, the PS4 would already be able to do full anti-gravity, but then again the system is not designed to output high-quality cartooney visuals (different processor architecture, too advanced floating comma calculations and such), hence Mario Kart per se would not be possible.

lolwut?
