Any person with some basic graphic technical knowledge will know this article is a joke. "There aren't as many shaders" quote gives it away that it is trolling. The programmers have to program their own shaders !! They could make 10 shaders or 1000 shaders, it will only take more time to make more. The capabilities of the machine and how well the shaders are written determine how many can be used simultaneously. But saying the number of shaders available out-of -the box from nintendo or from any 3D engine running on WiiU have something to do with how powerful the console is graphically, is a big BS. It has nothing to do with how powerful the console is graphically ! Its like buying a car but saying its underpowered because on all the roads where you use it, there is a limit of 10 miles per hour.
"There aren't as many shaders" quote only tells us that the people saying this don't know anything about graphics, making games, or even what a shader actually is ! Now if they had said that the shaders are limited in the number of instructions and passes then ok, or even if they said we can't have many shaders simultaneously, that would have worked but this is BS. Just by looking at the tech demos from last year, one can tell there are no such limitations. These are just trolls BSing, don't take that rumour seriously.
