Didn't Pikmin 1 and 2 on Gamecube also have 100 Pikmin running around at once though?

And based on clock speed and core count alone, Espresso (Wii U CPU) should be about 7.5 times more powerful than Gekko (GCN CPU) and that's before you factor in the 12-fold cache increase.

The GC was actually quite a powerful machine for its time...

The GC versions didn't have the individual captains to allow you the level of task diversity that Pikmin 3 does, which is obviously attributed to having more available CPU power.

Oh I agree that Pikmin 3 is doing more CPU work than its prdecesors, but (over) 7.5 times as much? I reckon Espresso can do more.
