The Wii and Wii U situation ARE NOT THE SAME AT ALL.
The Wii came AFTER the 360 and was less powerful !
The Wii U is coming after the 360 and PS3 and is more powerful.
The Wii U SHOULD NOT BE COMPARED TO THE Wii but to the 3DS.
Nintendo had to make had to find the sweet spot between affordable machine, powerful graphics and making profit from Day 1.
The PS3 and 360 are accidents in history, because those 2 consoles were way ahead of their time in terms or specs and were selling AT LOSS for years !!! The PS3 cost 800 $ to make and was sold at 600 $. Sony was making a 200 $ loss on each machine. Those days are gone ! So you should NOT expect a gap as important as Wii vs PS3/360 during Next Gen.
So the Wii U is be less powerful than the PS4 and 720, but nothing in comparison of the Wii vs the 360/PS3.
The Wii U will to be to the PS4/720 what the 3DS is to the Vita.
Is the 3DS suffering from against the Vita ? Not at all.
Because Nintendo created a machine that can give great looking games. Look at Monster Hunter 4, Mario 3D Land or Resident Evil Revelation ? They don't look as good as Uncharted Golden Abyss does that mean that the games looks awful ?
That power debate has to stop, especially when we haven't EVEN seen any PS4 / 720 to date...
For Halo 4,
As a hardcore Halo fan and as many Halo fans outhere, I'm REALLY septical about Halo 4.
Your feeback looks encouraging, but until now I haven't seen anything telling me that the game will be worth the hype. I mean the new enemy doesn't have the charisma of covenants. Maybe I should see more...
Reach is one of my favourite game of this gen ( and my favourite after Halo CE ). So the bar for Halo 4 is REALLY HIGH.
I keep the faith thanks to your comments now :)
