Yeah in time we´ll see games that do a much better job.

But there´s one small peculiarity here, at least if I remember correctly...everytime a new console was released, there was at least one launch game that was clearly above what its last gen counterparts were able to produce.It´s not the case with the Wii U, there isn´t a single launch game that isn´t possible for the 360/PS3, so that´s probably distorting some views.

To be fair, Shin'en have said that Nano Assault Neo uses  effects not possible on PS360, and the devs behind Trine 2: Director's Cut have said that it would have to be cut down to be ported to PS360.
The gap just isn't visibly obvious yet.

 

The real answer though, is that it's next gen because it's the successor to a current gen system, simple as that.
