So no hope for WiiU4Nspire by calc84maniac? :'(

Just kidding, but like every console, we won't see it used to its full potential until a few years later since developers still need to learn how to.

Thats a fair point .

Nintendo is always a step ahead with hardware.......first ones to do touch on handheld thingies (nintendo ds), first ones to use motion control remotes, and no first ones to use a gpgpu

Yep. Compare early calc games to newer ones.

It's actually the opposite if we include ticalc.org (in average)

That reminds me, I hope that Nintendo didn't make the new hardware too hard to code either, because this happened with the Atari 2600 and PS3 if I remember and as a result there were much fewer games coming out for those consoles (although for PS3 this wasn't nearly as bad) and in Atari case didn't make full use of the hardware (eg Compare Mario Bros Atari 2600 with Solaris).

The atari2600 was not only hard to program. It was also less powerful. Look at the best nes game compared to the best atari2600 game.

I'm sure the WiiU hardware is nowhere close to what will most likely be the next Xbox and Playstation, but it's a big improvement over the Wii. If I remember correctly, the Wii hardware is on-par with the GameCube

That said what will matter too is the game selection. When the PS3 came out it took 5 years until it has a decent game selection (by decent I mean not limited to just 3 genres, such as racing, sports and first person shooting in PS3 case. On the 360 you had RPGs, platform games and space shooters years before.
