Neither of those games look significantly better from what I've seen. Bayonetta 2 isn't that impressive and X looks a mixture of both good and bad graphically. However even if we accepted those games do look a bit better (I certainly don't) then you have to factor in an enhanced gpu feature set, an additional 1/2GB of gaming memory, a 32MB embedded ultra fast memory and a game engine that will be tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of the wii u. I.e. a game engine that is less demanding on cpu resources. We have yet to see how X for example implements its physics engine, AI, weather effects etc. We may find the game engine is fairly primitive, more of an uprezed xenoblade chronicles rather than a game engine that matches the best of 360 and PS3 that have higher CPU resources.

I like this video from the ps3. It shows so much going on in weather, lighting etc. It shows the cell being utilised to perform a large number of onscreen effects. I've seen nothing like that on wii u so far and X looks crude in comparison. In fact x looks like a fairly primitive engine not dis-similar to the original wii xenoblade chronicles just improved textures and higher res. I'm not convinced X represents an immersive living world as seen in games like Skyrim on 360. Perhaps someone can specifically point out something that is impressive with X.  What resolution will it run at as well?  I wouldn't say X vs Xenoblade is much different to Dragon quest x wii u to Dragon quest x wii. Similar graphic improvement but engine looks fairly dated.
