It will be a nice graphical update, but no generational leap like, for example, N64 to Dreamcast or PS2 to Xbox 360. Sure, BF3 and Crysis 3 looks nice, but it's no generational leap. Even those tech demos from Epic and Square, while looking nice, can't impress me enough to justify the cost of those specs, and that's assuming games next-gen will look just like those demos, which they won't because that would require two GTX 680 and a i7 in those consoles.

Is that what you tell yourself to justify your Wii U purchase?

No, the jump wont' be as big as the one from PS2 to PS3, but it will be big and it will be noticeable. Imagine what developers like Naughty Dog will do with PS4 5-6 years from release? 

I don't have a Wii U, PC, 360 and Wii here. By the way, being able to experience what PC graphics look like compared to 360 graphics, it's a nice jump, it's noticeable, but it's absolutely not what i'd consider a generational leap.  These consoles are quite underpowered compared to current PC hardware, i doubt the graphics will look anything special in 5-6 years.
