E3 2011: Nintendo announced Wii-U by showing off the controller and gameplay demos. After the show many people became confused. They didn't know if it was a new system or just a new controller. The industry bashed the Big. N and their stakeholders weren't happy. Nintendo's President even commented and said they should have presented the actual console.

E3 2012: Nintendo shows off Wii-U gamepad and plays demos of how it is used in games appearing in its launch window. Almost all of the presentation is focused on the controller and frequently makes references to using Wii motes and accessories like the wii balance board. Something tells me they didn't fix that confusion problem.

Ps3 cant do anti alasing, the Wii U seems to be capitalizing on that, and it appears to have the same level, or maybe even better, graphics than the ps3. Does that mean it will be on par with next gen consoles? Heck no, but were getting to the point where thats not really a big factor anymore, just look at The Last of Us and Beyond. Although the Wii u isnt supporting 4K, and i can guarantee you the next Xbox and ps4 will support those. By the way heres a great HD screenshot of pikmin 3, it still has alot of time to be polished off, but its looking great so far.
