Guys, the claims are almost certainly bogus. Gamesindustry.biz is the only site claiming these supposed two "anonymous" devs as a source. Every site reporting on this story is simply quoting this one site, and none of the major sites are reporting this in their news sections at all. Not IGN, not 1up, not Game Informer, not Game Trailers... that should tell you something right there.

It's two anonymous dev's claims against countless other REAL known developers including Crytek, Gearbox, THQ, Vigil, even freak'n Epic.

Seriously, anyone who thinks that an R700 GPU, POWER7 CPU and superior RAM/eDRAM equipped console won't be able to outperform the PS360 is in denial, plain and simple.

If this were true, everyone from Nintendo's R&D division should be fired. Luckily it's just baseless rumours from anonymous individuals claiming to be developers.

    If Nintendo or any other developers are willing to come forword to say the article is untrue it will be edited and/or a retraction posted.

    So you are saying I should expect a full retraction soon?  I will start holding my breath.

    If tit is false and Nintendo or a dev who wants to break NDA can back up claims that the info is false, yes.

    Didn't Epic say WiiU can run UE4?

    I don't think so. Lately they've been saying that none of the next gen consoles will be able to run UE4.

    Anonymous: "For Wii U intensive games that uses the tablet to display content, the main TV screen is only able to reproduce a measly 580p resolution. Meanwhile the next-gen PS3/360 can easily display 720p [...] it's less powerful."

    All this anonymous information is boring. We have seen to much from this in the last year. Even some small sites and blogs pretend to have "information" about Wii U (here some example from a little german website I found today that claims to have information, but more reliabel it says that the Wii U specs don't seem to be much on paper, but it is in some circumstances 10x more powerful than xbox360 because of the modern design) 

    And the information from industrygamers has not been more reliable in the past as of other websites like ign (who claimed the the Wii U is 5x Xbox360). To be honest in the last two years industrygamer tends to make more and more of this "anonymous Information" and in the end is it all false.

    We will see if some of these Website apologize in a few month.
