I believe Microsoft is trying to top Sony's PR. Right now, I actually prefer Sony over Microsoft which is saying a lot.  Actually,  I never really liked Microsoft but my hate for Sony runs deep.  I view the direction that Microsoft wants to take the home consoles (I mean home media center) in a very negative light. 

What of Nintendo's showings make you think the potential isn't there? It's not like they even tried... We'll only know the day Nintendo gives a serious effort and is unable to top TLoU (since ND games are superior graphically to 360 games in general).

How would you know though Basil. You're projecting the Wii business past onto the WiiU. We see the 3DS being used fully by games like MH4. Why will the same not be happening on WiiU? What if devs choose to strongly support the U this time around (I personally really see it happening). Remember, year 0 Nintendo is pulling off gen 7 graphics. It's only a matter of time before the console shows its true strength.

Either way, the assumptions against it are too strong, and we don't know what Sony and MS will come up with. In terms of the unit itself, we don't know how powerful it is because I doubt Sony will want to 599US$-ize itself this coming gen.

your post is useless after you read the 2nd sentence of my post.

I read the second sentence. Then you go with "The point is the graphical leap is not as big as I thought it would be." 

So my post is no longer useless, but is meant to show that yours was. We just don't know yet, since nothing is showcasing the power of the WiiU yet. How is this hard to understand?

?!

The graphical leap is not as big as I thought it would be, but this is about to change soon with later titles. This is my point. What is yours?

Seems microsoft fears the Wii U. If MS will loose as much money with the Xbox3 as with the Xbox360 than it could e the end of the Xbox.

Sorry brah, but the 360 is a profitable undertaking now get your facts right.

OT: Well even MS seems to agree with many that it is finally doing what Sony and MS did years ago. Not worth getting upset because people consider it unfashionably late and sober to a drunk party.

yea, when/if the Wii U is maxed it's games will most definitely look superior to anything we have seen on PS360

it's initial games probably will look similar to those though, maybe with some added AA/AF/dx 10/11 effects and a real 720p native res instead of sub HD resolutions

I mean when devs know all the little details how to bring out the most of the hardware. Every architecture has it's strength and it's weaknesses and devs need to learn those to really push the graphics a system is able to output to it's "max".
