I think the haters get quieter, while the people that love it don't really.
I don't think the cycle really exists, it just appears too.
But, I think the art style works better. If it went for the grittier style (which I would actually prefer, if the graphics were up to par with PS4, X1, PC). I think it would make the Wii-U show it's crappier hardware more. The cell shaded artstyle masks it, like Mario Kart, and 3D world.
I know wii launched with TP, and that basically contradicts with what I said, but idc.
