That was paid sony advertisement.  Sony paid them to do a dev diary to talk up the PS4 version, and any business that walks away from free money is stupid.

 

They won't be porting anything, Wii U version is being built side by side, by a different team.  It will look extremely close, and the "polish" they are adding won't change the visuals or the gameplay, they said that all next gen versions look the same, they will play differently on each console, however.



Sonic All Stars was another ported game that was ported on early hardware, and is only using two cores.  Most if not all of the ports so far are locked to two cores because they didn't have enough knowledge about the system to optimize it correctly.  They did say that the issues were resolved and that they are able to use all three cores now, but those games still do not.

 

Isnt that crazy though.  Its nuts that it can even happen, how in the world can a developer not be aware that they have a third core sitting idle.  It actually makes the CPU seem even more impressive, instead of being a weak link, its actually gotta be pretty capable, it runs most of the ports better than the PS3, and comes up just a little shy of the 360.  E3 is going to be interesting.

Wii U is as underpowered to the PS360 as the 3DS is to the PSP.  Seriously, with what we've seen with games like NFS:MW, Trine 2, DuesEx:HR, etc. From what we know about the CPU and GPU from the die shots the Wii U is definitely on another weight class above the PS360; but below the PS4X1!!!

That makes no sense at all. The release date for all 3 versions is 19th November. Why on earth would they develop the wii u version which is powerpc based with the 2 x86 consoles. Even if the wii u version is enhanced it would still likely be developed with ps3 and 360 due to similar architecture. It's likely those working on the powerpc versions are sharing resources across the 3 formats. Clearly the wii u version will have enhanced features with regard the gamepad and thats where the additional effort will go.

 

Many ps3 and 360 games are outperforming wii u games so they have as much right to say they are competitive with ps4 and xbox one versions and its quite possible that visually or in frame rates they may actually end up superior to the wii u version if the wii u is making massive use of the gamepad.

 

All this wii u is powerful talk really needs something or anything to back it up. All we have so far is a few improved textures in need for speed and a slightly better frame where as some ps3 and 360 games have improvements over wii u like improved frame rates, higher resolution, more sound channels, improved graphic detail, improved graphic effects, physic's engines etc. Surely we need to see the wii u outperforming ps3 and 360 before we start saying it can take on the ps4 and xbox one. If it can't outperform dated hardware like the 360 and PS3 then clearly it hasn't a chance against the PS4 and xbox one.

 

Dude, seriously I told you to Google it, check mynintendonews.com a few weeks ago UBISOFT OPENLY CONFIRMED THAT, and I know some games are ports but a lot of them manage to prove that Wii U is more powerful than the PS360, I know it's not out yet but I'm sure Deus Ex HR DC will prove you well wrong, get your facts straight, one last time UBISOFT CONFIRMED THAT THE WII U VERSION OF WATCH_DOGS IS COMING FROM THE PS4 BUILD, WORK ON THE PS360 VERSIONS HAS NOT STARTED!!! that is all.
