450 gflops vs 1800 = 1/4

3+1,3 ghz vs 8x1,6 = 1/4

2GB Ram vs 8 Gb Ram = 1/4

 

Pretty much 1/4 the power.

Oh my goodness. How many times does this need to be went over? There is no merit in directly comparing numbers like that with the consoles, or even a normal PC, Mac or Tablet. 

Realistically without proper benchmarks and direct comparisons it's very hard to say one way or another what any of the consoles are capable of. Gflops are all good and grand, but they are only as good as what is utilized. I'm sure nobody is attempting to say that that Wii U is more powerful than either of the other two, more efficient... perhaps, but there is no direct correlation. Especially when comparing the processors, then the RAM. Man, it becomes so much more complex then that. 

Yeah, both are quite likely more capable than the Wii U, but by trying to quantify by how much is redundant. 

We also have to remember that XOne and PS4 are using X86 architecture while the Wii U uses a PowerPC architecture.  As tempting as it is to compare GFLOP's (believe me, I have tried it), these consoles specification's are in separate worlds.
