if WII U was truely nexgen games would look more than just on par with ps3/360 ip.. also on wii u..

Reason for that it's that games this early won't look as good as games later in the system life cycle, developers are still understanding the system to get the most out of it. Here's Call of Duty 3 for the xbox 360 (which launch on 2006) just to give you the idea of how bad that looks compare to, lets say, Halo 4

The difference it's insane.

Forget about that:

This is a good video:

i'm with you and "graphics will get much better over the years on wii u" but that is a 320p video. one of the huge differences is the resolution between wii and hd consoles, that's what makes everything sharper, that's what let you see all the details you can't see in 480p. if it let you see the details you can't see in 480p or only much worse, how do you expect to see that in 320p? the resolution alone costs so much of the hardwares extra power and you don't use this in your comparison then.

you should watch both version as you would play them on your tv and you should watch both version in full screen on your tv to get an idea about the differences. i bet it will still look bad for hd consoles but much better than that.
