Except it's highly doubtful that it actually happened. Why 19 times? We know it's not true... I call BS (edit

lol no. Assuming this isn't just PR people joking around with that specific a number(it probably is them fucking around), I wonder what measurement they could possibly use to get that

Uh-huh...
I think the Nintendo rep was a bit of a wind-up merchant, and taking the mick out of this guys need to compare them. It's a little more subtly sarcastic than saying 'eleventy billion times more powerful', but I think they were being sarcastic nonetheless.
Or, they missed a decimal place

Reading the whole article, it was pretty balanced. I would call BS if the rest of the article went off and defended that number. It doesn't.
.19
Yeah, no way the Nintendo reps were serious when they said this (if they said it at all).

Somehow I doubt the Wii-U is 19 times more powerful. However, until the system comes out, we won't really know for sure.

The student tending to the Wii demos on Gamecity in Vienna last year also claimed that Last Story looked better than anything on the 360. Hired guns, they're paid to lay on thick. Just like every booth at Gamescom told you that they had the most/best/loudest/coolest/sexiest crowd and the games with the most (relevant) awards.
Read it. Great read.

Uh yes we do. Not even the other two will be 19x more powerful or even close to that.

Lol...
Because there is no difference between 720p and 1080p to viewer.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Why the surprise?
Isn't the company called Nineteendo?

Come to think of it if he was indeed being sarcastic and joking, "19" would be the type of number I'd say for the joke, know what I mean? Probably just sarcasm and Eurogamer took it out of context for the clicks.

Are these the same Nintendo reps that Nintendo has at E3 that say made up things like confirming a game is in development when they have no clue.

Lol it's strange that they didn't even use an even number for this bullshit.

I was trying to come up with other numbers that sound like "nineteen" that the author could have mistakenly heard and can up with "ninety" and "nine tenths."
So Wii U is 0.9x, 19x, or 90x as powerful as current gen.
Somebody get this man a medal.

I'd think 19 times more powerfull than the Wii would be a stretch...maybe PS2?
I give it a day before NOE deny the rep ever worked for them.
do our homework tell us everything about how your factories work: 0/10"

I wonder if Greenpeace will have a field day in their company reviews (4000 watts can't be good) or they'll go for the usual "you didn't

What? Are your serious with that statement? You would have to be blind not to see the difference..
On a side note I wasted money on a blu-ray player and tons of movies in that case..
I should clarify a standard 32inch 1080p tv would require the user to sit 4 feet from tv to see the difference, and 6 foot for 720p. Again you can tell the difference but I get what your saying..
Most of us sit 8-10 back so the 1080p may be be irrelevant except sharper/cleaner images.
