Nicalis: Wii U is not much more powerful than a PS Vita

Not much more powerful really doesn't mean much on its own. It's clear the Wii U has more grunt. However, if you're taking a 3DS, Vita, Wii U, PS4 and XB1 as your potential platforms. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for the Vita and Wii U to be closer in capabilities (both perfectly capable of running 7th gen engines) while 3DS hand quite got the grunt. While PS4 and XB1 at full whack are way out of the reach of the Vita it would theoretically be able to run a fairly comparable game to a Wii u version.

Someone showed Need for Spped to show the gap. But actually if anything, it shows how comparable they are. It was a top end racing game on release and yet a hand held ran a pretty decent port. I think NFS will have the crown as most impressive cross platform handheld game for me. It was a true home console experience in your hand. Pity that's isn't a market for that.

Doesn't really mean anything either way though and I don't really see what the point of stating that is.

It also has a pretty damn smooth frame rate for that full console game shrank down into the palm of your hands.
