take a look at those two vids; PS360 didn't look good when they launched either... But I agree, ZombiU could/should have looked much better. But I think there's two reasons why this didn't happen; 1) New console means you have to learn how to use the HW right, which is quite hard in the beginning. Just look up the link I provided. 2) New IP that had undergone many changes during it's development, which means less time to get the final product ready and new IP's can be risky business, so why spend loads of money optimizing it?

Photo and video comparisons of multipat games are pointless. Neither the PS360 or the Wii U are limited by technology, but by developer time, money and creativity. Gorgeous games are possible on all of these systems. These multiplat games are all using the same engines and the same basic programing, and are displaying on the same televisions. Any subtle differences in the porting processes really say nothing about the power of the system.
There is no question that the WiiU has more juice than the older systems, with its newer graphics chip and much more ram. We’ll only see the benefits of that if development teams develop a game to take advantage of new graphical techniques now possible. None of the multiplats are going to do that as there is a limited audience right now of Wii U customers so they can’t get back their investment. We’ll probably see some extra shiny visuals from big-budget Nintendo releases next year, such as a Mario Universe or whatever it will be called. But you can’t take a game designed for one system, plop it on another system and expect it to suddenly look better. It also doesn’t look worse, since it’s the same game (though a glitchy rushed port may play worse). It will be a similar situation when the other next gen systems arrive. We aren’t going to see that sudden, dramatic improvement we saw switching from SD to HD unless teams put a lot of time and money in adding more and more detail to their game worlds.

The R%D probably showed up; just not in negative figures. It could simply have meant that they didn't post more earnings that they could have. If you get what I'm getting at? I think Wii U will prove to be a better investment than Vita was.

Stop trying to convince me that 2011 components are better than 2005 ones, it's just nonsensical!!!

sensible

Well, that's what happens when you only use 1/4 of the total screen to display the vid. It has nothing to do with the resolution but the format they choosed for the comparison, which is lame (full screen side by side would have been better).

@kowen: I don't know what to say. I haven't watched the vids because I'm at work. Maybe it's a weird combination of you displaying the vid in a non-native res for your PC and the compression of the original signal to be displayed using only 1/4 of the screen. Or that they have used a crappy device to capture the vids.

your video aren't showing up for me.  but i'll wager you are showing off bad looking launch games.   ..in general those exists.  

Call Duty 2 ps2 and 360.  not much difference.

...but every other launch has a least 1 game that makes you go wow.  for the 360 it was kameo.  got to 3:43 where the reviewer states "kameo is really a showcase for the xbox 360 so if you've been wondering whether next generation games are really going to look all that much better the answer is yes if kameo is any indication".

so does wiiU have a kameo?  is there even 1 game for the wiiU that will make me go wow?  i'd love for you to show me that game.  one would think zombieU would be that game being exclusively built for wiiU and all ... but it isn't.

As a layman, I pay too much attention to time and when a system is released compared to others...don´t know if I should, but what I mean is, I´m baffled that a system that´s released 6/7 years later actually is weaker in some aspects.I keep thinking slower CPU, slower RAM, etc..should not happen, considering how many years have passed.

But why do graphics have to be the only source of greatness or progress? I think Kameo is actually a bad example, because while it looked gorgeous it wasn't a terrific experience gameplay wise. A generational leap need not be limited only to graphics.

Haha LoL! CoD 2 and 3 actually were the games I picked yes :p

Kameo was developed by Rare, so it's a first party game. And first party games on the Wii U is developed by... Nintendo. And we all know they don't care too much about graphics, so I think that's the problem. And ZombiU isn't a showcase for a number of reasons. I think (well, I hope) that Bayo2 will be able to wow HD-players! Or at least go, "not bad!". I understand and agree that right now, there isn't anything graphically to convince HD-gamers to pick up the Wii U, except game play. But it should be clear that Wii U at least isn't weaker.
