Is Nintendo always going to be behind Microsoft and Sony in graphics?

I dont think the graphics will improve much next gen for Sony or MS, afterall 1080p is a massive resolution to work with (1920x1080), and the movie industry seems happy with that as does the gaming world. We wont see 1080p go away for at least another generation or 2 yet. The new direction will be 3DTVs that dont require glasses.

yea i dont' think people realize that no matter what ps4 and 720 can do that they are still restricted by the 1080p resolution foudn in tv's

Yep, I doubt the Wii U will have any problem in delivering current PC games at maximum settings limited to 1080p with 60fps. What else you can do? You can use more sophisticated lighting effects, but that will require a lot of power and most people will not see the difference and upgrade the textures, which is very expensive to develop and, more important, will make loading times very boring. The Wii U will be fine. Whatever Microsoft and Sony are cooking, it will not rely in graphical power to surpass their current platforms.
