Nintendo Switch: any other salty WiiU owners out there?

They did side-by-side testing of multiplat games, but I'm too old to remember when they did so.

Granted, it wasn't massively outclassed; it was just outclassed.

Yeah. Remember the early multiplatform games on PS3 that looked like crap in comparison to 360? Or the 360 launch games that visually can't match even Metroid Prime 3? I'm willing to accept "side by side comparisons" as a valid proof of system power, as long as we can say it works with every system, not just what we want to cherry pick to support our own argument.

I mean, we already have comparisons of PS3 being more powerful than Wii U, 360 being more powerful than PS3 and Wii being more powerful than 360. 

That was the infamous cell processor, though: Sony was greatly maligned for the closed architecture of the PS3. Neither MS nor Nintendo made such a boneheaded move. Also, XBox 360 came out in 2005, the PS3 came out in 2006, and the WiiU came out in 2012.

If the WiiU came out a year after the PS360 and had peculiar architecture, there'd be some justifications for a comparative lack of performance. Watch DF's videos, however,  and you will see Watch Dogs and Tekken perform best on PS3, and Bayonetta perform best on XBox 360.
