@WaveBoy you are always referring to one or might be two type of games, but it happens that there are more. In the example I provided with ArmA2 a single MOD for the game might require more RAM than then total of a current PS3, a single mission might require several PS3 working in battery and might be that mission requires several large MODs too, and all this using minimal graphic detail settings. But if you dont care about CPU because you want just to focus on 2D sidescrollers or almost on-rails basic scripted games like RE, then of course only gameplay, controls and graphics count. Control innovations will not help me to play Civilization V better than with a mouse, neither Lock-On better than with a full HOTAS+Pedals, nor Empire Total War better than with mouse + keyboard, but I guess you dont consider any of these as games, right (that supposing that you even know them).
Just a quick reminder: the Wii U's GPU will probably be capable of general purpose processing :3
Anyway, this doesn't matter too much for me to compare specs. The gap of this generation shouldn't be as wide as the last. As of today, selling a $500 system is a little more risky than it was in 2006.
@Mandoble: "I don't care for the Halo series. Therefore, I don't consider it a game." See how utterly daft that sounds in context? Just because WaveBoy has a preference in video games doesn't mean he naively neglects/refuses to acknowledge the other horizon of the gaming world.
KoMiCtUrTlE made an excellent point about the Direct X factor, so it reduces a lot my councern about it.
20% of raw power doesn't meant that you will used wisely, and like somebody says before they would be the same games but little bit prettiers. MS would'nt bring something innovate than the new controller of wiiU, the kinnect 2 can only go futter than a acurate motion reading or some imaginarie buttons, but the new wii U controller brings a lot of more probabilites.
Remenber playing ocarina of time 3D using the buttons of the 3ds but algo the touch screen and the gyroscope, then multiply that for 10 and you have the wiiU
