The Wii U is weaker than the other consoles because it's less expensive. The competition is not only a year newer and doesn't split resources across a gamepad, but they also cost $100 more, and are from established tech companies. Nintendo would have to have sacrificed their children to a cult of C'thulu for the Wii U to be more powerful.
That said, I'm still not convinced any amount of difference will amount to a hill of beans, anyway. Graphics weren't the reason last generation ended: memory limits were. Developers just couldn't make big and pretty maps with only 512 MB of RAM. The Wii U has 1.5 GB of RAM, which is not 8 GB, but it's enough.
The graphics on the other consoles may be a notch better, but the graphics of this generation as a whole will only be a notch or two better than last gen, anyway.
