Why does it matter if Wii U games dont look as good as others?

A lot of people would consider AC black flag, BF4, Killzone SF, Ryse, Forza 5, COD ghosts to be more fun than the games the OP mentioned, its opinion vs opinion.

Just because you admit they look better, it doesnt give you greater credibility when you state the gameplay and fun factor isnt as good.

Another common mistake you made is assuming graphics and gameplay are not linked.

With the better graphics cards, PS4 and Xbone will be able to handle many more characters and animations on screen at once than the wii will.
if dead rising 3 was on wii U the decision for the developer would be to either have 2 zombies on screen at once or make it run at 2 frames per second....or make it look like mario which would kill the whole purpose of the game.
And dont you remember those black screens on COD reflex edition on wii? or how limited and pale the action in GTA chinatown wars on DS was compared to vice city stories/liberty city stories on PSP?

Just because a few developers managed to make a good game using limited power, its not a reason to state that they would not have benefited from a more powerful system, and that everyone else should downgrade their expectations on power.

This, Nintendo games are good but not as otherwordly as some people would like to beleive. I was primarily a budget PC gamer (1GB 5670HD) last gen. I got a 7870hd around WiiU launch for some breathing room, and the system was too expensive then. I got a Wii U cause I fell for the Nintendo crowds OMG quality, OMG good games, OMG gameplay,  OMG graphics dont matter hype after missing out on the Wii. The games are good, no doubt, but dont blow my mind. They dont move Heaven and Earth. Truth be told Id be perfectly fine without them, moreso now after experiencing them. However, If I only played games on Nintendo and none of my PC excluysives or 3rd parties, THAT would be a real tragedy. Im going to be extremely skeptical of whatever home console they release next
