Do you realize that "optimization" and "polishing" are buzzwords that actually mean "downgrade"?

Most of the time when developers talk about optimization they are talking about graphical optimization,which basically means "what should i downgrade in order to improve performance?"

code optimization is pretty rare these days since developers use engines(which already have most of the code done).

False. Anyone one whos ever written software or even understands the basics of software knows that what you said isnt true in the slightest.  Some PC drivers improve framerates by as much at 4 to 10%, thisdoesnt downgrade the game in any way. Killer instinct was patched up to 900p from 720p, zero downgrades. Ground Zeroes performs much worse than The Phantom Pain despite being noticably uglier. The Phantom Pain is better because of *drumroll* optimization.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine
