Pretty much no system ever has its most graphically advanced games in its second year.

Well, technically Wii should have been easy to max out quickly considering how it was an enhanced Gamecube. I don't think Wii U will max out in graphics anytime soon since it's a completely different architecture than either Wii or PS360, so we'll need to wait a few years after the devs get a hang of it. Plus, I don't think many developers have been using features newer than PS360 GPU features all that much, so there's that which we can expect (if they don't intentionally ignore those features)

Even with the Wii, though, just about all its most advanced games came out in its 3rd, 4th, and 5th years.

Well I did say "should" have been easy to max out due to the similar architecture to Gamecube, but considering how some developers looked at the system, it  wasn't surprising that we didn't see too many advanced-ish looking Wii games until later (aside from Nintendo's own games).
