I took it as they haven't released any gen "4" games yet. Even if there are games on the Wii U, they have been just Gen "3" games ported to that system.

I was thinking of ranting on my dislike for EA and the simple fact that if they didn't put AAA games on WiiU I flat out wouldn't buy any of their games.
But then I thought about what EA games I bought in my Wii or PS3.
PS3:
BattlefieldBC2 - used and resold.
Battlefield3 - new and resold.
Wii:
None.
So in the last 6 years I have purchased 2 EA games.
Come to think of it... only EA games I currently would like are BF4 and SimCity. SimCity I was already thinking of skipping due to its DRM system and BF4... well, I only half liked the PS4 version, so I would like force a PC upgrade this time.

Well, he's talking "on paper" or "theoretical" power. I remember reading in EGM that the original Xbox was said to be 4x more powerful than the PS2, but obviously it didn't display graphics that were a full 4x better in reality.
In any case, by that rationale, PS4/720 being 10x better than 360 would still put their power closer to WiiU than to the high-end PCs:

You guys do understand that this is some PR shit and they've said a lot of absolutely nothing right? Yes, they are assholes for doing that, but some of you are taking it way too seriously.

I guess that would make sense.
When we say things like this it always seems to blow something out of proportion.

Basically, they're saying Wii U isn't next-gen, at least not from a technical perspective
This is just confusing. I'm uncertain if it's the late time or me just being a bit slow, but that doesn't really make sense.
At the end of the day, EA will just give Nintendo the shaft anyway so it doesn't matter. And that's not a great loss.

I already said this before, but I thought it sounded more like them saying that they "EA" haven't made any 4th gen games yet. not that nintendo's wii u isn't 4th gen. They then say be excited for our 4th gen games in the future.
So basically all ea games released on wii u have been just games that could have been on 3rd gen, so ports.

This is what i got as well. People are overeacting and not taking the time to read it carefully. Or we have other spinning the quote to fit their own agenda.
I thought the chartz were smarter than this. i guess i was wrong :(
Bet with ninjablade:
Ninjablade wins if the next 5 multiplat on the wii u are inferior to the 360 version.
I win if one of the 5 mulitplats are on par or superior on the Wii U.
