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to make the most of the performance of the Wii U to keep up with technological innovations and not to make the system out-of-date soon."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."

SovietRussiaEmazing-LightsFrog Since the Wii U has only slightly better graphics than the Xbox 360. That means the Xbox 720 won't have much better graphics than the Xbox 360 =/
I was thinking the same thing too but since we haven't gotten that much info on the graphics on Xbox 720 so the graphics might be better.
I mean after a while games are going to start looking like the history channel in HD
I haven't seen what the history channel looks in HD so i'm guessing that it's good?

Any Yes, Sure the Wii U may be able to support such "AMAZING" Graphics.. But will the people whom create the games Intensify these graphics?
That's if the game developers make good use of the technology given to them and the game engine they work with.
