It may have that power spec-wise; but the fact that the device needs to render 2 screens, invalidates the possibility to have those graphics at all.

I'd file this under "wait and see". If it's possible (the operative phrase), then it may be unlikely for the controller screen to be heavily utilized. And forget about multiplayer with two GamePads. Getting a higher-end Unreal Engine 3 game to run well on WiiU would be impressive enough (not to mention "next-gen"), though I have a feeling that a downgraded version of Unreal Engine 4 will be standard in a few years, once newer platforms have hit the market.

Of course, it depends on how far a developer will choose to push the Wii U. Nobody even tried to push the Wii further than GameCube, it seems, but perhaps history won't repeat itself.
