Just less visuals? Try less NPC's, less music/script/sound files, simpler AI and of course more basic visuals. 

Not necessarily. For example, a Modern Warfare Wii dev confirmed the enemy counts weren't reduced.

It's all relative though. No reduction in npc's means greater cuts elsewhere.

That's the trick, trimming in the right spots to maintain the core gameplay.

Companies also can be more inclined for that "right spots" could be allocating developers to do cutting, particularly if they believe the platform in question isn't going to sell their title.  If the goal now is to not cut corners so it is real close to the PC version, then the Wii U will be out of luck.  Otherwise, why not just go ahead and do a really cut back version for the PS3 and 360, and merely add the Wii U in the mix also?  Do people seriously think that this argument about, "But, but companies don't want to miss out on sales of the established base of the Wii U, because it means money... but NAH the PS3 and 360 can't handle these games so the WIi U is the ONLY choice!"
