GTA IV was a brutal game on even very strong PC CPUs. Even taking into consideration a lack of effort going into the port I just don't see how GTA V would be a very good fit for the Wii U architecture given the fact that it wasn't engineered with that console in mind. Nintendo didn't need a strong CPU for the kind of games they make but this game does.

what does the wii u lack design wise for a game like this?

It lacks the crazy lopsidedness of the Xbox 360 and PS3 CPUs and it fails to make up for it with general purpose goodness because the CPU is barely out of order and likely an ancient design which is clocked very low. We would not be having this discussion for instance if the Wii U had an AMD APU (bobcat) instead of what it currently has.
