Wii U Texture Resolution to be Greater Than What 360/PS3 Currently Offers

Gearbox has recently made a statement telling us that Nintendo's Wii U will have greater graphical power than current HD consoles. Specifics are still murky, but for now let's see what Gearbox is saying:

"We’ve got the (Aliens: Colonial Marines) engine running on the Wii U, and as far as the console goes, you’re going to see textures at a resolution that you haven’t seen on (the current) generation. (We're) finding out what kind of final tech specs the Wii U is going to have.”

Is this something that excites you? I am a firm believer that the graphics don't make a game, but in this generation of consoles its becoming an industry standard to output games in HD resolutions. I'm glad that Nintendo is finally giving us a proper HD console.
