A conclusion being reached by this thread I created on the RAM differential between the Wii U and PS4 (and likely next Microsoft console) was that the WIi U will be downgraded graphically, so it should be able to get the content on the other consoles:

My question is this: Do people think the extra memory for the next gen games will primarily be used to upgrade the graphics, or other areas?  If other areas, what other areas?

Partially. It will also be used for better engines eg. destructible scenery, more obejcts on screen at once, better AI etc. It just allows them to load more of everything at once.
