Multiplattform
Nintendo-presidenten Satoru Iwata berättade för Nintendos aktieägare att Wii U inte kommer hamna i backspegeln på Sonys och Microsofts kommande konsoler. Han nämnde att det kommer inte kommer vara någon drastisk skillnad i grafikväg mellan konsolerna.
"We cannot promise that the Wii U will never be excluded from multi-platform 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.
The difference between the Wii U and the other consoles will not be so drastic because there will be fewer and fewer differentiators in graphics"
Other companies might launch a next-generation console with more power, but...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."

Microsoft har dock annat att säga om Wii Us grafiska förmåga. Microsofts Phil Spencer nämnde nämligen nyligen att Wii U mer eller mindre är en Xbox 360 när det gäller den GPU-kraft.
"building a platform that is effectively a 360 when you think of graphical capability".
"Now [Nintendo is] really making an on-ramp for the back catalog of games that are on Xbox 360,"
Phil kommenterade även Nintendos val att släppa sin Pro Controller och tycker det var ett vettigt beslut.
"makes a lot of sense with the platform Nintendo has built. They've moved the buttons around, and they've made a controller that feels familiar for 360 gamers, so I get why they are putting those pieces together,"
Grafik är ju inte allt men vem som har rätt i det här fallet får vi troligen reda på inom något år då förhoppningsvis både Sony och Microsoft har visat upp vad deras konsoler kan erbjuda.
