THQ says Wii U power surpasses current gen by far

Actually, I don't really care how powerful a system is. As long as it's affordable and fun, I'll gladly purchase it.

I think it's already safe to assume that a Next Gen console surpasses a Current or Last Gen console...

in the past that was true but not anymore.

But how are you going to back that up? You at least need some some type of base before you can state such a thing.

because you can't get better gfx than HD that's why. not for a long time anyway.

The technology will always improve, but can you honestly say we need it? As it is already, any resolution higher than 1080p from a normal viewing distance in the average home is practically indistinguishable from 1080p, and television dimensions available to the public aren't gonna get much bigger due to most households not being big enough to fit them in.

I'm not so sure about this. And even if it is, by the time developers are fully able to utilize the console's power, new, even more powerful consoles will probably be on the way from Sony and Microsoft.

EDIT:

Also, I think less focus needs to be spent on just making the consoles more powerful, and more on making games cheaper to produce. The graphics are nice, but this "Games are so expensive to make that one flop can ruin a developer" isn't doing the industry any wonders.

but take note that the DS was released BEFORE PSP, and therefore was the most powerful portable system at the time. 3DS was released BEFORE Vita, which makes IT the most powerful portable currently

I have to say, this agrument is kinda invalid. The way you're saying it is that Sony purposely waits for the console to come out then design the PSP/PSV, making it more powerful. They have already designed it way before the other parties' launch.

Going off of your logic, my argument still stands, because DS/3DS was in development way before PSP/Vita.

I guess having higher than 1080P might work with these ultra high defs since there is soooooooooo much extra res you will notice some difference. But still not much of a difference I bet.

4000k != 4000p dude.

And most content is not nearly that resolution.
