yes they are. the mix of better graphics, native 720p and 60fps early on already proves this.


There's nothing on the Wii U that's "miles" beyond Halo 4. 

There's two games in XCX and Mario Kart 8 that really look nice, but it's not that much different from Rogue Squadron II/III or Resident Evil 4 looking better than anything on the PS2. 

Games on Wii U should look better. It has a better GPU even at 350 GFLOPS, that's a full 40% improvement over the 360 with double the RAM and triple the eDRAM. Xenoblade X should look better than anything on the PS3/360. But it's not a generational leap either. 

Quite frankly the jump from N64 to Dreamcast is considerably bigger. If you read the Iwata Asks on the Wii U's development, Nintendo's main priority was limiting power consumption to about 33 watts -- that's what they spent most of their time on. 

"but it's not that much different from Rogue Squadron II/III or Resident Evil 4 looking better than anything on the PS2. "

Yeah, no. as I said, graphics + resolution + framerate. those don't lie.

the jump from nintendo 64 to dreamcast is also way bigger than ps360 to ps4, x1 and wii u.
