It looks better with butterflys flying around and what not, but I honestly wouldn't put that in the top 10 of PS3 graphics. It's nothing that special. It looks pleasant though. I will be dissapointed if EAD Tokyo's game (Mario 3D) and Retro's games don't take a giant dump on this visually.  

Pikmin 3 game likely simply is not complete enough to be released on time. Pikmin is not a big enough potential seller for Nintendo to give it a giant budget to be some kind of super-visual showcase. 

Uncharted series is generally argued as a great or one of best looking PS3 game series. I've played them all on a 1080p TV with high quality HDMIs.

There are elements in that Pikmin3 video (surroundings, water, light, fire, etc) that easily match or beat anything in the Uncharted games. Now, the many character models like Olimar or the pikmin etc are not super great, but I was only referring to the environment.
