n a recent analyst Q&A session, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata responded to questions about Wii U’s hardware, specifically how it fares from a power standpoint compared to systems like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Iwata responded by reminding the audience that the Wii U’s hardware is still relatively new. As such, it's only natural that developers haven’t yet realized its full potential as they have with consoles they’ve been working with for more than half a decade.
“While existing platforms have engines that development teams have tuned and optimized for six to seven years after their respective launches, the Wii U is a new platform that has slightly different architecture and, since development teams have only just begun development on software for it, they are only at the halfway point to utilizing its full potential,” Iwata said.
