New rumors have started to surface regarding the Wii U’s capabilities.

Last night, we heard that the system was supposedly 20% less powerful than Microsoft’s next home console and today, a source speaking with Develop – originating from late 2011 – says that the Wii U will be twice as powerful as the Xbox 360. The site says it “could achieve roughly twice the processing and graphical potential of Microsoft’s current generation machine.”

Apparently some studios were expecting more power from the console.

Develop’s source said:

“I’ve heard [a project designer] complain it’s underpowered compared to what Nintendo announced, resulting in people having to de-scale their plans.

Along with this rumor, Develop has learned “that a prominent UK racing studio has committed to support Wii U with one project each year.”
