They even included the same GPU again as the GameCube/Wii in the Wii U for backwards compatibility purposes. It's honestly a very nice GPU, and team that made it went to go on to dictate the architecture of the PC GPU for the next six years.

For a chip made in 1999, they certainly got their mileage out of it.

Quick clarification for anyone reading: they included the same GPU in the Wii U in addition to a more modern AMD GPU used for native Wii U games.
