Your talking about this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf29-F2Nh88 cause 360 has more lighting go ahead and watch it and let me  at what seconds this lighting kick in.

I watched your video and you seem to be confusing lighting with gamma color.   The overall oclors on the Wii U version appear darker, right?  That's a gamma difference, not lighting.   

The lighting differences are found in light sources such as street lights, neon signs, etc...

digital foundry makes no mention of better lighting i will take there word, cause i can't see it in pics or videos. i can see some of the better textures,  but only during the cutscene pics. thats the only real upgrade i see, and oh yea they mention a 5fps advantage during crashes. but all version hold a good 30 fps. with sometimes even the 360/ps3 pulling ahead.

Then my question is, do you make a thread every single time Digital Foundry finds just a 5% variance between games?  Why only when it's a Nintendo related issue?

nope because everybody knows ps3/360 are on par with each having advantages, while some people still think wiiu is much more powerful then 360/ps3, and think this is proves it, when in reality its your typical 360 vs ps3 comparison, with wiiu winiing the faceoff, don't you remember this http://www.nintengen.com/2013/02/need-for-speed-most-wanted-wii-u-vs.html 



Depends on what you mean by 'much more' powerful. On paper it's around 3 times more powerful but in terms of real world performance we're probably talking about 4 times more powerful. It most certainly isn't 'on par'. The Out-Of-Order CPU and dedicated silicone for sound, IO and OS functions alone make a huge difference, as does the low latency RAM.

We're talking about a CPU with 3 times more cache, 4 times more RAM with considerably less latency, a GPU with more than 3 times more eDRAM which is on-die as opposed to being on a daughter-die and a GPU with a DX11-equivalent feature set as opposed to a DX9-equivalent feature set.

The fact that the Wii U SKU of Most Wanted uses PC textures speaks volumes to anyone that doesn't have an anti-Wii U agenda.
