Well, nice to see you get published.  A bit cheerleaderish though.

I was only saying it because he told me to read the OP article. There is no problem entering a thread to claim my work and discuss the topic. There is no need for your snark, however.

Don't take my congrats as snark. I meant it.  I did, however, find the original article a bit too much cheerleadering, so it is opinion of the article, and a critique.  I say congrats, because I know the challenges of trying to get anyone's works published anywhere, as someone who does get published from time to time for a magazine, but isn't able to break into the journalist side yet.

Ah, I thought  the "cheerleading" was about me saying that I wrote the aritcle, not about the article itself so that was my bad. It definitely is optimistic, but it isn't completely unreasonable either, as I'm not saying the Wii U will get every port under the sun. The main point is that heavy budgets might result in games that don't try to be as photorealistic, so there is more money for a port to Wii U, and that those ports won't look nearly as bad as PS3/360 to Wii did. It's HD to HD this time around, the difference won't nearly be as big. 

Sorry for the mix up here.  I think whether what you wrote is reasonable depends on what games are going to be developed and RAM and whatnot they require.  If we see a generation of games that demand a lot more resources, the Wii U is in trouble.  However, if we get more of the same, the Wii U should be able to hold out.  For me, I don't see the graphic looks being the issue, but the type of game worlds.  If open world becomes a big niche, the Wii U is going to have problems.  The Wii U is in a position where wha it offers is sufficiently different and superior to the current generation, while also being able to keep up with the PS4 and Microsoft's next offering.  Pretty much show that this generation can't do what the WIi U can, and show the second screen is THAT much of a difference maker.  Coming in too underpowered fits into the TurboGrafx 16 and Dreamcast category.

Things could reverse, but things don't look as good at this point.
