Releasing on November 18th, 2012 in North America, the Wii U's PowerPC-based Espresso CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and AMD Radeon “Latte” GPU outputting up to 1080p (with an 854×480 screen on the GamePad) wasn't particularly capable, compared to the Wii U's competitors. This, of course, was not all, as poor marketing and a less-than-ideal launch lineup resulted in the Wii U being one of Nintendo's biggest sales flops, with it selling only 13.56 million unit… text/html 2022-06-21T22:31:57+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://io55.net/wiki/eop/video_game_consoles-home/8th_generation/ouya_inc._ouya?rev=1655850717&do=diff Ouya Inc.

With the NES Classic releasing on November 11th, 2016 for NA/EU (re-released on June 29th, 2018), and the SNES Classic releasing on September 29th, 2017, it comes as no surprise that the systems specifications are not particularly extreme.
