Horsepower was never important to any gamer. Wii U vs Ps4 has nothing to do with horsepower.

Make a thread with a poll asking "does graphical horsepower matter to you?" I guarantee a lot of people will vote yes.

It  does matter up to a point, there is a lot of talk about resolution but resolution isn't everthing as some examples prove a small pixel and smooth edges is one thing but if your textures are bland and unlifelike it doesn't look good, reflections are needed to be lifelike and each ray of light must be computated and represented and reflections and refractions multiple times. Soon we will reach a point where rendering real life world is possible and then where do you go? Manufacturers of graphic cards will have a great deal trying to sell then thus physics espects of GPUetc but then these will all emulate real life then there is no where to go. Although we may need to go quantum to represent ll the espects of a ray of light as both wave and particle to represent real life.
