I'm not going to get into the power argument, but the fact that Ubi excludes Wii U from 'current gen' in its statement is telling. Whatever technicalities there are, Wii U is 'different' to develop for, and probably takes more time and effort for the developers to get it looking as good on Wii U as it might on PS4/X1, plus all the extra features it has to develop for the gamepad. It's just not worth the effort for the install base. I believe that's one of the main reasons why 3rd parties have turned away, and that's Nintendo's fault.
It goes back to the complete balls-up of the marketing and launch of the console. Nintendo like to innovate, but this time the innovation has bitten them in the backside. Not that I'm suggesting that Nintendo should abandon their innovative line and follow the sheep, but if they're going to stand out and be different, they've got to get developers as well as consumers to understand what they have, to make it work.
It's a crying shame, for what the Wii U could have been. But I hope they've learned their lesson.

oh consumers understand it, they dont want it. They dont follow the "sheep" because they cant, thats a battle they cant win. But then again the whole being innovative is hit or miss too.

Not sure my post came across as I intended.
Consumers understood the Wii, and it was a runnaway success. They don't understand the Wii U. Many of them still don't know what a Wii U is, (a peripheral for the Wii, Gamepad is the console, etc.) when it's very clear what X1 and PS4 are, and what they do.
Nintendo could very much follow the sheep if they wanted, but have chosen not to, despite calls to ditch making consoles and go third party, get with the phone technology, etc.

Oh i understood it, im just saying you are wrong. System been out for almost two years and some are still saying people dont get it? People arent that ignorant. THere are WIi Us in every major store. Like Target Walmart, Best Buy, Gamestop, etc. IMHO this whole they dont get it. is an excuse. Consumers know wii u is a new system that has a faux tablet as a gamepad. They dont want that system which is why its being rejected. THey know what it does and they dont like it.
Ditching consoles and getting with phone tech is following the herd? makes no sense ditching consoles is the opposite since no one else is doing it. as for phones. if they want to miss revenue thats on them.
