Well it may be better but maybe it won't, looking at past events is not the best way to make a forecast imo. There are other things to consider, in these two past demos N64 and GC, Nintendo had a leading hardware tecnology this means it was new to industry, so developers didn't know exactly what they could do with it. Also since those demos, at the time, were already looking better than anything avaliable for purchase, they did't really need an hardware-pushing demo. In Wii U case, the industry is already accostumed with PC/360/Ps3 hardwares, so while it will take some time to get accostumed to the new architecture, developers may already know more or less what to expect from it. And in this case Nintendo has to show how good the console is looking from the beginning, since they already have similar competitors on the market.
