This isn't even worth commenting on.

I guess I had to give further hints and make it more obvious, but this thread was a LIE ("Low as It can gEt", as my comment said in capital letters). After reading the "Now Wii U Is Less Powerful Than PS3/360? This Is Getting Stupid!" thread, I thought these anonymous rumours were getting stupidly out of hand, so I parodied the "Wii U hardware is on par with current gen consoles" thread with an extreme case. Thetonestarr did the same with his "WiiU is eight N64s scotch-taped together". "And three Gameboy Colors".

To continue with my initial comment:

This rumour is as Low as It can gEt...
... the Wii U is going to be "powerful" if Nintendo really want third-party games. We will see this soon enough.

yeah, not like we've seen the Zelda footage, which suggests higher than Ps3 graphics...


I'm not saying that Wii U has worse graphics than PS3 (and I don't think so either), but why people keep referring to the Zelda demo is beyond me. Looks to me like the 360 could easily pull it off

You are quite right imo. The demo looks soo good manly because of the artistic design, good animations and lighting, in terms of poly count and texture def it looks about on par with a 360/ps3 render. The only thing I'm not sure 360 or Ps3 could do so well is lighting, but I'm saying this only because I've haven't seen so far a Ps3/360 game on par with this, being God Of War 3 probably the closest thing.
