I'm confused. So, the 2 games for the Wii U that we've seen gameplay of (that look realistic, not cartoony) are assassin's creed 3 and arkham city armored edition. Both of those are also on the PS3 and 360 (regular arkham city anyway). Are the graphics on the Wii U version's demos just carried over from the PS3/360 or are they really showing what the Wii U can do?

No, these games are not representative of what the Wii U can do. They're ports of PS3/360 games with additional features, but they have not been graphically enhanced.

Thank you for clearing that up. For a while i thought that nintendo just made the Wii U's graphics as good as the PS3's. Phew (wipes sweat from forehead)

The Wii U isn't supposed to have better graphics than the PS3, but more of a 360 feel.

No, they said it was similar to the 360 to develop games for. That would make it easy to port games over from 360 to Wii U.

 

It's definitely more powerful than the PS3.

You're really wiping sweat from your forehead because you thought a "next gen" console graphics were on par with a "old gen" console?

 

I can't wait for the PS4 to come out. lol
