How on earth can the wii u compete with modern consoles when its got 3x 1.25ghz powerpc cores from the last century for cpu power. It makes no sense at all. How on earth do people believe it can be powerful when its fabrication technology is the same as ps3/360 not xbone/ps4 and yet consumes far less power. The same issue that people seem to think somehow its as hard to create cartoon graphics as it is realistic graphics. Clearly it doesn't take much to work out that non-realistic graphics with simplistic and repeated textures, non-realistic lighting and no real world physics engine is going to be a lot easier. The real test for any graphics system is creating realistic graphics. Again though no question the gpu feature set of the wii u gpu is clearly superior to 360 and PS3 and that clearly will bring visual benefits. User moderated for this post -RavenXtra

Simple, it doesn't have 3 cores from last century.

Stylized and realistic graphics demand the same horsepower if they are on the same level. the minimum level when the game starts looking good is higher for a realistic game but that's irrelevant when every game from both sides is way beyond that minimum. your baseless statement is like saying super mario 3d world has the same graphical level as mario galaxy or sunshine, and that both have a lower level than something like goldeneye on N64 (it's realistic right?). polygons, textures, physics, lightning... aren't exclusive from one artstyle.
