Wiiu in trouble with no third party support

We already knew Wii U had lost the 3rd party support. First, because of its design decisions (it's a piece of 7th gen tech). Then, because of the miserable 3rd party sales. That was a given already before E3.

People who do not understand the Wii U hardware are the first to say it's 7th gen. Considering everything they've seen (Mario Kart 8, Zelda U and Xenoblade Chronicles X) they still believe the Wii U to have the graphical prowess of the last generation consoles. This goes far beyond logic and reason. This is a thought process that burned deep into their memory and they cannot shake that false preconception. 

I don't know what people you're talking about. I'm free of preconceptions and I don't see Wii U going graphically further than PS3 or X360.

Considering what you've seen, do you think this:

is superior to this?

I doubt Wii U will ever present a game graphically superior to Gran Turismo 5. I'm not saying Wii U is inferior to PS3, but it surely isn't superior. And, even if it was slightly better, it wouldn't be 1 generation ahead. That's for sure.

Not only the games (which are the ultimate results) show that but also the hardware specs. Wii U has more RAM but less processing power than PS3.

Not only the games and the specs show that but also the 3rd party decisions. They made versions to Wii U of games they launched on PS3 and X360. Now that they're skipping PS3 and X360 to create games fully 8th gen on PS4 and XOne, they're also skipping Wii U.

Is it me, the specs and the 3rd parties all wrong and you're the one right? Are we going far beyond logic and reason? Only if those videos are lying, the specs are lying and 3rd parties don't want to maximize profits.

The only thing 8th gen about Wii U is its launch date. Let me tell you something: Amazon Fire TV is another 8th gen console.
