"To be completely blunt and honest, there’s no way that the Wii U processor is ‘horrible and slow’ compared to other platforms."

Cool the Wii U CPU is not 'horrible and slow". 

"If you’re basing this simply on processor speed, then it’s not next generation."

WTF? Now the Wii U CPU is 'horrible and slow'?

So it just confirmed what the 4A said using other words.

Epic.

yeah.. i mean, thats just WAY out of line!

I think he ment aweful compaired to how games look now on those consoles. Gun compaired to Halo 4 is a huge jump on the 360. They look like they come from different generations. The real point is no one has had time to tap into the Wii Us potential yet, so most likely after 5 years it may look like a huge jump over the PS3 and xbox360. But as for graphics, AI and other backend systems it wont compete with the PS4 and xbox720. But it has a very different system than those two most likely will with it's unique gamepad.

Though the xbox smartglass is very cool and does some awesome stuff, developers cant rely on all people having a tablet/smartphone to integrate. Especially kids.

The difference between PS2 and GC/Xbox was visible, but not enough to be a game changer. The difference in power between Wii and PS360 is much bigger, enough to make some PS360 impossible to port to the Wii without a complete change on it's mechanics. 

Compare God of War 2 and Halo 2. There is a difference, but isn't that big. Now compare Mario Galaxy and Uncharted 3/Halo 4. It's a huge, huge difference.

Anyway why the Ninja Gaiden 3 on Wii U is not better than the PS360 version???

The WiiU is weak, the WiiU is NEXT GEN, Who do i believe ?

I think that is a bit of an exaggeration. I would say that PGR3 was an improvement but did not really blow "everything else" out of the water, nor did any launch game for 360 when comparing it to the original xbox.

Forza (Xbox)

PGR3 (Xbox 360)

Ninja Gaiden Black (Xbox)

Kameo (Xbox 360)

Doom 3 (Xbox)

Condemned Criminal Origins (Xbox 360)

Looking back, one must admit that the Xbox was truly a beast for it's time.

I know people have different ideas on what the term "next gen" means, for me, tech wise, I consider it to be in the same league as Xbox/PS3. Nintendo are in their own little timeframe.

The argument that "Look at the early games on PS3/Xbox" and look at these ones made later, would have been true had the wii-u came out at the same time as those consoles. People look at those early games and immediately think they will get the same level of improvements on the wii-u over the next 12 months. They won't and they will be disappointed.

When the PS3/Xbox came along, these were a big step up from the previous gen, process, software and performance had to be worked on, and it took a while to get these tools/systems in place. They are not starting from scratch now that a wii-u has come along. The major thing that companies can work on for the Wii-u is the performance stability but certainly from 3rd parties, its whether they have the inclination to do so... over time if 3rd party game sales increase, there will be improvements, but I really don't think there will be this big leap in graphics from the current games coming out such as BO and AC3.

Wii IS last gen, along with PS360.
