I still can't figure out why anyone would ever be surprised. The Wii U is VERY close to the PS3 in performance:

-Basically equal GPU. Maybe 25% stronger at most
-Weaker CPU
-A lot more ram...kinda. 1 GB (Remember 1GB is for OS) > 512MB but it isn't big enough to really use textures or AI numbers anywhere remotely near the PS4. So why even bother adding much more?

- Confirmed by devs to be several GPU gens ahead of PS3's, DX10/11 capable, GPGPU.

- God forbid a dev should take pride in their work and try to deliver the best product they can...

LOL several "Gens" ahead.  The R7 240 is several gens ahead of the HD 6670, but that doesn't make it any stronger.  Yeah it is newer technology, however the GPU in the PS3 was a High end GPU of the newest gen when it came out, and the GPU in the Wii U was low LOW end gpu from a 2 generation old family of GPU's.

PS3's GPU fell short of even the 360's which was a circa 2005 card.

Wii U's GPU has more modern funtionality than both.
