Actually Wii U for what Nintendo where is aiming is very solid console, very efficient, small, silent and in same time very capable 720p console, Nintendo games looking gorgeous and in most cases they running at 720p and locked 60 FPS while in same time Wii U gamepad taking part of Wii U resources. Even we know that aim wasn't good decision.

I don't think they will use same philosophy this time again. This rumour about NX CPU is pretty reliable, same guy before gave informations about GC, Wii and Wii U CPUs, Wii U arrived 6/7 years after Xbox360/PS3 and had slower CPU and this rumours is saying that NX that comes 3 years after PS4/XB1 will have 30% stronger CPU, IMO that is quite progress for Nintendo.

 I've got a wii u, ps3 and 360 and its easy to see overall the wii u is struggling due to its very low cpu resources.  Most games look and play better on ps3 and 360 compared to wii u. Not all of course some games with lower cpu requirements which allow the superior gpu to shine give the wii u an advantage but most games do require reasonable cpu performance.

I actually like the idea of the NX cpu being more powerful. Even if the games visually end up being the same or even lower resolution with a few missing  graphic features if the same game has more going on in the game world thanks to greater cpu performance that would be good. I'd rather play Skyrim with more people in the game world, more birds, more plants animation than see an anti-aliased tree. 

Funny because I got Wii U after Xbox360 and Nintendo games looked and runed better than Xbox360 games, I am not talking about multiplatform games on Wii U I talking about Nintendo games. I didnt saw that any Nintendo game struggle due weak CPU. However multiplatform games are different story.

NX CPU being more powerful than PS4/XB1 is definitely positive thing, we know that CPU is weakest part of PS4.
