WiiU's about 50% more powerful than the PS3 and some people called that non-existant :P

Funny analogies aside, I really hope this rumour isn't true. Being weaker than the XB1, having the smallest userbase, and other factors wouldn't really help such a console succeed in 2017 and beyond. It'd be too outdated.

Is that actually true though? Because I have my doubts about it.

Look at a game like Bayonetta 1: (both on xb360 and Wii U)

Assasins Creed 4:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QGNeLufdAU   

I think they run the same resolution? but look at the fps in this. The Wii U version runs like 20-24fps, and the xbox 360 runs 28-30 fps.

I'd think WiiU-optimized games would run better than old ports tbh. Especially when you take into consideration the GPU focused design of the WiiU compared to the 360 and PS3.
