5th Cell CEO Jeremiah Slaczka says the Wii U is “definitely more powerful than Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.” Slaczka’s team is currently working on Scribblenauts Unlimited for the upcoming console.

When asked for his impressions of the Wii U hardware, Slaczka stated:

“(The Wii U is) definitely more powerful than Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It’s kind of frustrating to see the rumours and speculation of people going back and forth saying it’s weaker or more powerful. It’s definitely more powerful.”

Slaczka noted that his studio was “one of the first developers to see the Wii U.” He also said that Scribblenauts Unlimited started off on Wii.

“I think we were one of the first developers to see the Wii U. Nintendo came to our studio and demoed it to us. A couple of weeks later Warner Bros. got to see it, and we said we should do this. This game was originally a Wii title but later moved to Wii U. It’s been about two years in development.”
