Okay, a warning for all: there is a long rant ahead.

Over the past few months, I've seen people vigorously criticize the Wii U's graphics power as being on a similar level to the current generation, and have been lead to believe that this system will be yet again the inferior console. Well, I'd like to argue against many of these things. For starters, this console hasn't even launched yet. All consoles normally start with the developors playing it safe with the hardware, as the system is new, and they have little experience with it. As the developors grow more confortable with said system, they begin pushing the processing Power to the limit, to get the absolute maximum amount of graphics and processing out of the system. Of course early games don't look revolutionary for the system, the console hasn't even fucking been released to the public.

Second, with the Wii U, many of the games look like current gen games for a reason. This is Nintendo's first HD console, and it has a processing and graphics power that is at a minimum level on par with current gen systems. Because of this, developors have familiar specs and technology to work with, so many of the launch window games for the Wii U look exactly like their Xbox and Sony partners. Again, after some time has passed, the console will be tested for its real horsepower, but right now, they're simply testing the waters.

Thirdly, I've heard people talk about how they think the Wii U will be inferior to the Xbox 720 or PS4. Okay, I understand why most of them would think this, as they base it off the 7th Console Generation, but I would like to say this: '''WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE SPECS OF THE FUTURE PLAYSTATION AND XBOX ARE, AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ANNOUNCED YET. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO INDICATION THAT NINTENDO'S CONSOLE WILL BE INFERIOR TO OTHER NEXT GEN CONSOLES.'''
