We haven't played Xenoblade X and being bigger doesn't mean it's more populated and such. Skyrim didn't need to be big because you either walked everywhere or fast traveled. The world of skyrim was full of villages, different regions, monuments, quest, caves etc. The first Xenoblade... ehhhh not so much it was mainly exploring from point a to point b. Smash isn't graphically impressive and it has no real time effects, physics or post processing affects, no AA or hyper simulated textures... In other words it's a very simple game so having 8 playing on one screen is easy. League of Legends runs really well on the HD4670, I have a friend with an athlon notebook and he runs the game on low at 60 fps all the time. 

If the Wii U GPU really was pushing 550 gigaflops then it would be than enough to render Wind Waker HD, Bayonetta 2, and evn Xenoblade X at 60 fps. The Wii U CPU could easily handle a GPU pushing around 700 gigaflops but that's the limit. If the Wii Us GPU was really more powerful than what people are claiming then we would see it. We haven't yet, multiplats perform terrible and the only HD games running at 60 fps are simple cartoon games.

With all of that said it's not a problem with the Wii U I'm happy with my purchase but I'm not gonna over estimate it. The Wii U is about as powerful as my phone in reality. 

Byonetta 2 IS 60fps, xenoblade is clearly focusing on graphics and draw distance instead of 60fps and Wind Waker HD is 30 fps on wii u because the original game was designed that way. An increase to 60 would probably change the physics. For example, the original kingdom hearts when run on an emulator at 60fps makes objects fall twice as fast, as if doubling the fps increased the gravity.

The fact you aren't accepting is that Wii U games that aren't lazy ports/ports from lower platfroms consistently run at 720p 60fps with much better graphics than ps360 or 1080p 60fps with slightly better graphics than ps360. That's twice the average framerate and three times the average resolution (640p) for those two last gen consoles. Since ps360 had 200 gflops gpus, that easily puts wii u in the range of 600 gflops.

So this is 60 fps huh? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8btNuuCY90
