Usually I don;t like anonymous sources, but according to one that talked to the person that wrote the article the WiiU will not show a generation leap in terms of graphics at launch, but may show one once two mysterious games being deveoped currently for the system are revealed.Both of these games are multiplatform games.One is a racing game and one is a FPS/3PS.Will one of the games be the game that crytex hinted at a while ago.

http://www.thegamerscene.com/2012/07/wii-us-graphics-wont-be-a-generation-leap-at-launch-2-big-titles-yet-to-be-announced/

Take this with a grain of salt everyone.

Title is fixed because of complaints.

Not officially confirmed until someone breaks open a WiiU when it gets launched.

I think TC is just saying that because when an actual developer says the Wii U is really powerful. Haters ignore it and say well this anonymous source says the Wii U is weaker then the 360 and PS3 so it is confirmed to be weaker then the current gen systems.

So the TC said it was confirmed because the haters love anonymous sources.

You kinda got it,but I just summarized the point of the article which was that the sorce officially confirmed that the console was officially more powerful then the curent gen consoles.

That's not official confirmation. I see what you are trying to say, but this is simply adding to rumours. Now, if this had come directly from a developer close to the console, without the use of anonymity, it might be a little more official.

That's why I said in the OP to not completely believe this article.

(s)He's using common sense. Anyone (folks like Atarikid) who thinks the launch titles are representative of the console's graphical output are frickin' dumb.

A true next gen console would have better graphics on launch titles. The launch titles arent even on par with many current gen games which is pathetic. COD 2 was a 360 launch game. You needed a high end pc to match the 360's settings. Remember that Gears 1 was shown at e3 2005 yet we still have nothing noteworthy from nintendo, just excuses.

It should be expected that a next gen console outperforms its predecessor competitors.

Anonymous source eh? For all we know that anonymous source of Wii-U being more powerful than the PlayStation 3 could be secretly confirm by you. I do believe though that the Wii-U has a chance being more powerful than the PlayStation 3 but not the Xbox 360.

But a lot of the launch titles being released on the WiiU have either a higher framerate,or are better looking in many ways(ZombieU).

I thought Nintendo's goal was to be different not the same as the other consoles. I thought that was their goal all along and recently they have an article of one of the Nintendo employees discussing they don't want to be like other gaming devices. Nintendo should really stay out of the graphics and power house competition though. A little bit to expensive for their budget considering they don't really have experience with powerful games and the overall demographics that teenagers would want to play their console too. Families don't really need a powerful system to be happy especially when its about the games. I know Nintendo is trying to go for the "hardcore" look but they simply can not do that as well as Microsoft or Sony. They aren't geared for that type of thing which is okay since all their first party games do well anyway.

It will be more powerful then both.

Judging from what I saw on E3, it looks far worse than anything out on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Pathetic product showcasing for Nintendo's part. From the start, the PS4/XBox 8 will produce graphics far ahead of their predecessors of this generation so why can't Nintendo? When the PS2 debuted its graphical showcasing immediately outclass the PS2, so did Nintendo GameCube with the Nintendo 64, PS3 with the PS2 and so on. The Wii and the WiiU are the first systems in history that people need to pull out the "it takes time for the graphics to improve" arguement. This conversation alone by bringing up uncertainty about Wii-U graphic ability should automatically raise a Red Flag for Nintendo's upcoming console in terms of its power.

Rubbish No launch games of this gen blew graphics of games like Riddick and Doom 3 out of the water. Graphics improve over time, its a no-brainer

That won't happen.The Xbox will probably be 6X-8X more powerful then the 360 while the PS4 will be 10X more powerful then the PS3.That is a smaller leap for both consoles then last gen.A game will be developed for it soon that shows how powerful the WiiU truely is.
