There will be a pretty significant gap between the Wii U and PS4/720, what we know of the leaked PS4/720 specs show them to be well beyond the Wii U.
It may not be quite as bad as last gen, but that doesn't mean there won't be a pretty large difference.
A lot of hardcore gamers are already biased against Nintendo to begin with, lets be honest, so that doesn't help either.
If a game like Star Wars 1313 is available on Wii U, 720/PS4 ... and 720/PS4 versions run at 1080p + better graphical effects, higher poly count, higher frame rate, etc. not many people are going to buy the Wii U version, then the excuses from developers will start ("oh the Wii U version didn't sell great, so we're pulling resources away from it"), etc. etc.
This is all so predictable, happens to Nintendo over and over (and over) again.

if the rumours are true about Wii U specs and 720 then the gap will be bigger next gen than this.
Wii U rumoured 1.5 gb ram. 720 rumoured 4gb minimum 6gb max.
Wii U rumoured 3 core 3.2ghz. 720 rumoured 12 core 3.2ghz.
Wii U maybe able to 1080p most games as native atandard. 720 1440p - 2140p.
Those figures are much broader than 360 - Wii.
But those are rumours and we will wait and see.

I can't really comment on the other rumors as I haven't been following them, but the bolded sounds quite far-fetched to me. I mean it's probably going to be at least 5 years from now before you can go into your average electronics store and find a 2160p TV at all, and it will probably be 10 years before people start buying them at the rate they were with 1080p back in 2006.
