Here are a couple of tweets from the same person that hacked the Wii U for it's CPU/GPU specs. https://twitter.com/marcan4...
"So yes, the Wii U CPU is nothing to write home about, but don't compare it clock per clock with a 360 and claim it's much worse. It isn't."

I do think people forget what the ports from xbox to xbox 360 looked like when it first game out. When the game "The Godfather" came out for Xbox and the 360 it was hard to see improvement. When comparing the two versions you could see that there were some areas that the 360 could do better but it wasn't a big jump in graphics. If fact at first glance I almost linked the 360 version as the Xbox version.

You can't go by the prices of flash memory on Amazon or Best Buy to see what Nintendo would pay for it. You have to look at what wholesale bulk prices are for flash memory. Here you can buy 1GB-64GB Micro SD cards for $0.87 each as long as you buy 50,000 of them.
