Wii U capable of much higher quality graphics than 360 and Ps3.

PS3 is more capable than the X360. How's the Unreal and Modern Warfare game engines working on it again after 5-6 years?

how does having less ram and weaker gpu make ps3 more capable

PS3 has a much faster memory set up than 360, something 360 hides with the 10MB of eDRAM. PS3 also has a HDD in every system, allowing for massive amounts of virtual RAM. When optimized for PS3's memory tech is more capable. Cell is much more powerful than Xenon in every faset. The only aspect 360 has the advantage in is the GPU. The 10MB of eDRAM, and the unified pipelines give it a major advantage in flexability. However, PS3's GPU is very comparable, as 360's gpu has to be balanced in real world apps, so its extreams are not attainable. Basically, it comes down to whether Cell or the 10MB of eDRAM is more effective. Evidance GoW, KZ, Uncharted, Infamous 2, GT5, and more show PS3 is more capable when developed for directly. That is not to say Forza, GeoW, Halo, and Alan Wake don't loof very good, just not quite PS3 quality.

OT:

As for WiiU. The stronger GPU and more RAM will help it out, but the fact that it has to run two displays will hold it back. I would expect games that look asteticly more pleasing than PS3/360 later on, but they will fall short when it comes to liveliness due to the weaker CPU.

One thing I could see happening that will make massive improvments to astetics is games barely utilizing the second screen. This would allow all the GPU power to have one focus, and most of the alotted memory to be utilized for one goal. In this case, you would see major improvments in textures, and detail to the world, and also possibly a chance of the GPU picking up for the weaker CPU. 

All of this crap about WiiU is already old. It is stronger than the Gen 8 HD consoles. It is not better in every way, but it is better were it comes to graphics. Is the difference ever going to blow them away? No, but it will be more than enough to run a smooth 720p, and in some cases 1080p game with better textures, and better aa. It is not the generational increase we would see from nes to n64, or PS2 to PS3, we get it. So take it for whta it is and enjoy it.
