One issue could be bandwidth - you need higher bandwidth to go along with all the extra memory and I'm not sure how well Wii U can take advantage of the extra RAM with it's bandwidth.  What do you think?

Games like Trine 2 Director's Cut and Need for Speed Most Wanted U were able to use higher resolution textures on Wii U compared to PS3/360 thanks to the extra RAM. Shin'en have also said higher res textures should be a "no brainer" for Wii U, and have promised to employ 4k-8k textures in their upcoming games.
