I agree that power allows for more than just better graphics. As we can see in most PC-games, some graphicsl settings allow the same game to run over a broad variety of machines. That's why it is not right to say, game X couldn't run on WiiU, because of the graphics. It would probably don't look that good on WiiU, but it should be scalable.
Something completely different is number of independent working units in a strategy game for example. If XBone can run 1000 of this, than it cannot be easily scaled, because if WiiU only supports 200 working units the game wouldn't be the same anymore. Same with physics or AI. We need to see how games make use of such features.
