Would you be OK with Nintendo killing the Wii U so early?

No the gpu and cpu aren't just slightly better than x360. And even ps4 /x1 don't have a better cpu than ps3 cell.

If you actually read my post, you'll see that resolution is the only major difference. Other aspects would change too little but framerate is not one of them, since nintendo chooses to have most games at 60fps already.

Lets assume that the wii u does not have specs comparable to last gen, that doesn't detract from the fact that the wii u is significantly weaker than the ps4/xbox one, whereas the NX would be comparable to them if not better. Why would devs want to make games on the wii u (custom architecture, weaker hardware) over the NX?

Killing the wii u and releasing the NX faster gets devs on board with better tools to make better games.

Framerate is definitely big. Playing mario kart 8 at 60 fps with more than 2 people would be great. Playing xenoblade X at 60 fps would be phenomenal. Same for third party games.

Its up to devs to decide if the only change the make is resolution. However, giving devs more power opens up the possibilities that they can create (like no mans sky on ps4).

There's no need to assume what's already reality. Being weaker than competition doesn't mean there's a big gap. What are you talking about devs making games  on x system vs the other? we weren't talking about any of that.

It still stands that there wouldn't be major visual differences if wii u games were made on ps4 or x1 hardware. would look better but nothing remotely close to jaw dropping.
