The Wii U if it is as efficiently designed as claimed may punch well above it's weight, we've yet to see much evidence of this though.

We have no notion yet of how easy it will be for developers to get the most out of the PS4.

Even if we consider the best case scenario for the Wii U (i.e. no developer has yet given an indication of the system's true capabilities) and the worst case scenario for the PS4 (i.e. they are using off the shelf parts with little or no thought to overall system design/efficiency) you are still going to be looking at a significant difference.

Not Wii to PS3 difference but, 720p/30fps vs 1080p/60fps for the same game, at the VERY least. Having said that it will be at least a little interesting to see how the games line up next each other at E3, relatively early PS4 games versus some more mature Wii U titles from Nintendo's best studios.



Is there not a sole measurable quantity to comparepower among different consoles. Perhaps this should have as its baseline for comparison a PC.

for example in economic terms you could measure inflation by comparing the buying power of a consumer to the price of a can of Coke over the years.In this case Coke is used as a standard and you can say a days salary in the eighties would buy you ten cans whereas today it would buy you twenty.

Nevertheless comparing different consoles is like comparing different cars. Are you after horsepower, comfort, price, looks, economy in running and maintenance?

What im expecting for 720:

 

Xbox360/ps3:

 

Please translate for those of use you don't watch Dragon Ball.

720 about as strong as PS4 ->see the lightning aura around him)

Xbox360/PS3 around 100 times weaker than the PS4

WiiU 5 times weaker than Xbox360/PS3

No. First Cell and piccolo were around the same. Though i should have done it in reverse as Cell is stronger. 

So Translation PS4>720>>>>>>>Wii U>ps360



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

Let's see for Playstation 4 you have a Cutting Edge 2 Terraflops Clockspeed + 8GB of State of the Art Ram versus the Wii U a console that's version of Arkham City doesn't even compare to the versions on consoles that came out 10 years ago and that doesn't even have a Hard Disc Drive that became standard on most consumer entertainment products worth their salt with the original Xbox released in 2001 if not long before? I really think it's a no brainer.

Yeah thats why I said i should have had it in reverse. Still would not say that gap is as big as you're saying.
