Iwata: PS4/Xbox 720 graphics won't be drastically better than Wii U
Wii U's closer parity to its competitors, Iwata added, will mean that Wii U won't be left out of multi platform releases as frequently as its predecessor was.
"We cannot promise that the Wii U will never be excluded from multiplatform software for eternity, but we can at least assure you that the Wii U will not have such a big difference as the Wii had in comparison to how, on other platforms, developers could expect very different graphic capabilities of generating HD-applicable high-resolution graphics," said Iwata.
"Other companies might launch a next-generation console with more power, but we don't necessarily think that the difference between the Wii U and such console will be as drastic as what you felt it was between the Wii and the other consoles because there will be fewer and fewer differentiators in graphics," he added, mirroring a previous statement in which he said the next-generation leap won't be as significant as last-gen.
"Naturally some consumers are very sensitive about such a small difference in graphics so that we will make efforts to make the most of the performance of the Wii U to keep up with technological innovations and not to make the system out-of-date soon."
"However, as the structure of the product called the Wii U is as if we are including both a video game console and a handheld device, if we were not careful about how luxurious both of them were, we could end up having to offer the price of the two hardware systems combined, which would not be an acceptable price for the consumers. We had to design it by balancing the performance and the costs."

ok ok so over the last school year i did a little research for a project . and for all those whom didn't know sony and nintendo were to gethere as one this was be for the xbox . and this is what makes sony and nintendo so much more intresting than all other consoles. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System followed in the steps of its predecessor, with high technical specifications for its era. The controller of the SNES had also improved over that of the NES, as it now had rounded edges and four new buttons, a standard which is evident on many modern controllers today.
Nintendo had also begun development on a CD-ROM attachment for the SNES/Super Famicom. Their first partner in this project was Sony, whom Nintendo had worked with before to provide the SNES with its SPC sound chip. Development on the "PLAYSTATION" CD-ROM add-on and SNES/SFC standalone hybrid console began. However, at the last minute Nintendo decided to pull out of the partnership and instead go with Philips, and while no CD-ROM add-on was produced, several Nintendo properties (namely Zelda) appeared on the CD-I media console. Upon learning this, Sony decided to continue developing the technology they had into the Playstation. The exact reason Nintendo left its partnership with Sony has been the subject of speculation over the years, but the most common theory is that Sony either wanted too much of the profits for the machine or the rights to the CD-ROM attachment itself. in the end nintendo was the nicer guys and sony was still even then selfish and greedy for money :)

Well, i see that they are trying to take the WII-U to the next level, instead of a Family console I think they might be trying to take it into the PS3/Xbox region. I hope they fixed the way they weapons work on the WII...

hopefully this is correct.
Nintendo really needs to make a name for itself in certain parts of the gaming industry. Its mainly thought of as a "Family console" but it would be good if people think of it as another console for competitive gaming ect.

-LOST- I'm going to lul if nintendo comes out with the supreme console lol :D
I don't think it will be possible when the are charging 100 bucks a game. I doubt it will have enough under the hood to be a non-portable console

Oh so they don't charge you for both the handheld and the console, they just put extreme prices on the games instead...
