that's fine...but they also said the Wii U will look better than the PS360 along with gamepad implementation that PS360 could only dream of doing.

Ok point taken, you're right. 

Although from the same article "But there are gripes to consider before jumping in bed with the Wii U version. Most significant is the degradation in texture quality, the muddiness of which matches the 360 release without its HD texture pack install. Surfaces can look flat compared to the game running on PS3 and 360 with full installs, and the lack of any similar optional install on Nintendo's platform means pop-in flares up while in wide outdoors areas. Curiously, in terms of sheer playability, Sony's hardware achieves the most consistent frame-rates during combat, with 360 taking middle ground here, and the Wii U suffering from more regular dips to the low 20s, perhaps explaining the omission of split-screen gameplay." 

So it's not all that rosy.

 

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to argue that Wii U is inferior to PS360 cause it is not the case, but especially since it also outputs to the gamepad, I think that the difference in visual quality will be marginal, especially with straight ports, not highly optimised for Wii U which I still belive wouldn't make that big of a difference.

actually it will . Just look at Need For Speed: Most Wanted. But I understood what you said.

Right, I'm just saying the title was misleading for the thread.  I kind of expect a next gen console would look better than last gen.



if wii is 7th, even it cant do what ps360 can, wii is a 8 gen.

...and that's what Ubisoft said numerous times already.  The visuals of AC and Watchdogs will exceed the visuals found on current-gen systems.  I don't know why you are so upset about this?  What is it you wanted them to say...that the Wii U is visually impaired compared to the PS360?  Will that make you happy?



Thank you for confirming this.



Don't be silly. We're in gen X&Y. Everybody knows that. Pokemon X & Y.



The Wii U being in between current and next gen consoles doesn't mean anything.

If I said I had between $1 and $100,000,000, that's not saying that I have $50,000,000. That's just saying that I have some amount in between those two figures, and that's what was quoted.

We already know the Wii U was more powerful than the PS360.  We also don't care.

Pokemon generations are the only ones that count.
