Yes, it is.

Some people still need to have it beaten into their heads before they beileve it, though.

I was a little annoyed that neither this thread or linked article actually had anything to say about the game itself, so I dug up this GT review:

This game will kick ass on a tablet.

Shouldn't a game like Swapper on Wii U have identical graphics to the PS4 version?

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

It should. The question is more about whether the developers know how to work with the PPC of the WiiU to get that capability out of it. But since they already coded it for PS3, which also used RISC, I would imagine that porting it over for them to the WiiU and then properly optimizing for better graphics and performance won't be impossible. The easy thing they could do is just port from Cell to PPC and call it a day, and that's probably why they are making this statement to show that they are taking the step further.

The game looks cool, I'd rather talk about that.

If I had to guess, the difference between PS3/PS4 versions for a game like this probably has more to do with extra dev time than with raw power.
