    The Wii U graphics is on par with Xbox 360 and PS3. Wii U can only be called 7.1 gen console. There are some benefits but, aren't huge like slightly higher frame rates but, you won't notice that all the time. In comparison, the PS4 and next Xbox will be able to process 3 or 4 TFLOPS which is close to highest performing PC graphics. Wii U is in the GFLOPS range I believe.

    dude if i remember right both the Wii U AND 3DS didnt get price cuts, so of course the 360 and PS3 sold more during that time, easily logic, however she was comparing it them during their 4-5 months of release in which the Wii U sold more, and even if it didnt get to outsell PS3 and 360, its sells werent that bad.
