Wii U power debate: Iwata swears it will keep up with next-gen. Microsoft says 'it's a 360'

Iwata was most likely thinking about costs associated with the consoles and games developed for them. The specs themselves doesn't matter if there's no development resources (i.e money) to utilise them.

 

But not only do the operating systems hog large chunks of system resources, visible differences also require multiple times the processing power.
