The majority of ps360 titles are sub hd 30fps, and the graphics are quite behind wii u's exclusives.

"Wii U is in no way, shape, or form in the same category as the X1/PS4"

By definition, each console is in a category of it's own, because they nowhere near equal in specs. with that said, wii u, x1 and ps4 are all 8th gen platforms with a comparable power range. the difference in raw specs proportion from wii u to ps4 is bigger than ps2 to xb, but diminishing returns make up for that when we look at the games.

"Halo 4 is better looking than any Wii U game save maybe Xenoblade X. I'd say its equal with Mario Kart."

Just checked, it's not. but it's indeed well above the x360 standard.

It's better looking than any game on Wii U outside maybe 2 or 3 total (one of which hasn't even been released yet). 

Xenoblade X or MK8 are not the "standard" looking Wii U title either ... more like something like LEGO City is what the average Wii U game looks like. 

Nintendo should've just ditched the Game Pad idea and made it an accessory (when you're 3 years in and you don't even have one killer app for a controller ... the controller was bad idea, sorry Nintendo) and just used a more modified PC GPU like the 4850 which was freaking 4 years old by the time the Wii U came out but would run circles around a Wii U. Maybe on a 28nm manufacturing process to reduce electricity. 

They would've had a system far more powerful than the Wii U. 

"I'm going to buy this console because it consumes less electricity" ... said no one ever, other than maybe the Greenpeace audience, who probably don't buy consoles to begin with. Stupid design decisions all around. 

3d world, bayo 2, tropical freeze, smash bros (less graphics but 1080p 60fps), zelda, star fox (possibly).

"a more modified PC GPU like the 4850 which was freaking 4 years old by the time the Wii U came out but would run circles around a Wii U"

since you are clearly underestimating wii u's gpu, that's also not true. and taking the gamepad away would just increase specs a little if the money was reinvested.
