there are some who think that the x1 is underpowered...Me? i thinkn none ofthem are underpowered. we've gotten to the point where all the consoles can produce fantastic visuals
Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out
Ps4:110million
Xbox one :75 million( was 65)
Wii u: 20 milliion
The Wii U is considered underpowered because of its CPU. On paper it don't match last gen.
Graph shows up fine here. The Wii U is weaker than X1 and PS4, but not sure if how much power it uses means much. As far as power usage, wouldn't we want devices that used less power but still are able to put out the entertainment we want?
Something I'd really like to know is why Nintendo charges so much for it, when it only has a 32GB non SSD drive in it at max and has some ancient technology. Maybe they should get rid of the GamePad and watch sales fly up?

Sales won't "fly up" that way, not even for most "core" gamers.
There's just one thing I'd like to point out and I'd assume that this graph is average power consumption on ANY given activity such as watching a movie or playing games. What you want to use is LOAD power consumption when playing GAMES and such to compare the computational capabilities of the console.

The Wii U is a silent console.

Well, if they make another console hopefully they will go for a much more powerful system and leave out things like the game pad. Of all the time I played the Wii U, I never found that game pad really adding to the game at all. If it really would have made me spend $180 less on the system overall, that would have been a great deal and they would probably have more systems sold than PS4 right now.

It's the other way around for me. Wii U is the alpha & omega. I would take the XOne next for Halo.
The CPU on the Wii U lags a little behind the PS3 and 360, let alone the PS4 and One. The Wii U also has no hard drive, a fourth of the RAM of the other consoles, and a much different (and inferior) architecture.
But the biggest problem? The idiots at Nintendo named it after the FREAKIN WII. C'MON.
A lot of consumers associate Wii as being far behind the 360 and PS3 in terms of power, so that stigma carries over.
I still prefer my Wii U to my PS4 (at least until the PS4 gets some actual games out), but Nintendo screwed up big time.
You're Gonna Carry That Weight.
Xbox One - PS4 - Wii U - PC

I agree with you on that Colonel Mustang. The name has way too much Wii and not enough U.
