I really don't think so.. 19 times is a lil' ridiculous. I was at the expo and thought most of the staff were simply volunteers and had a relatively free reign to hype as they saw fit. From the brief time playing on it at the Expo it is rather impressive though. The tablet works very well from the rather small selection of games I got to try. WiiU and tablet is easily the best way to play Trine 2.

Really wish I had a chance to play ZombiU but the queue was over 1.5 hours long.

I hate hearing stuff like this. What does it mean to be "XXX more powerful" than a console? How do they measure that? There's so many components all with varying degrees of significant, how can you use one number to represent how much more powerful a device is? It's probably in measuring RAM or GPU or jargon like that. I don't think the average person really cares about technical things like that. The only practical way to measure what's more powerful is by what the console displays on the monitor. I want to know things that I actually see. Not what's going on deep within the console.

okay... somebody need to teach them to math! seriously!

Its BS obviously

He meant 19 percent maybe?

maybe he mean 19x the wii. ..that would be somewhat plausible at least.

next gen console visuals are miles ahead of the previous gen from day one. i expect wiiU to be akin to ps360 level with mabey a tad more power. 

Either that or he misspoke and meant to say '90 times' more powerful.  Both are reasonable, could go either way.

That's rubbish

He probably meant 1.9 times.
