Simple question if acording to you, wii u is only slightly more powerfull than ps360: why does it have much better graphics than those, while running the games at a minimum of 720p 60fps on every optimizied title and ps360 games were mostly sub hd at 30fps and graphics quite bellow wii u?

Simple anwer: wii u is quite more powerful than the previous gen consoles due to much better gpu and much more ram. it doesn't lag behind ps4/x1 at all. those 2 may have more raw power, but we don't see much difference in this age.

And which games does the Wii U match up with the PS4/One? The few multiplatform games it has are more comparable to 360/PS3 than the PS4/One. Which games on Wii U look anywhere near as good in terms of raw graphics as Halo 2 remade, Infamous Second Son, or Uncharted 4? 

Nintendo makes some great games that look amazing, but none are technically graphically all that great. The Wii U is simply not on the level of the PS4/One when it comes to anti-aliasing, ambient lighting, HD textures, etc. 

My Wii U is my favorite console, but to say it is anywhere near the PS4/One in terms of power is just plain wrong. Now, if we're just talking about pure fun, the Wii U has that in the bag.

The multiplatforms wii u got are way behing wii u's exclusives graphics. games like 3d world, mario kart 8, smash bros, pikmin 3 are all quite ahead of what can be done on a ps360. xenoblade and zelda are particularly impressive and leave nothing to be desired against ps4/x1 games. those two have more raw power but it would take a huge difference in power to translate in a big graphical difference. if it was 10 years ago, their difference in raw power would be much more visible, like xbox vs ps2, but diminishing returns is here.
