I don't understand why you arm-chair developers can't get over the fact that the wii u is struggling to outperform the ps360.

- Wii U is NOT directX 10/11 capable. Purely Direct3D9 territory.
- Wii U GPU is a Radeon HD design from way back in 2008. It is only a few manufacturing generations ahead of the PS3, but it is still in the same ballpark.
- The best looking games on the wii u such as Mario Kart and Smash are well within the capabilities of an Xbox 360. Xbox 360 would run all those games on par with the wii u.

"The Wii U has some PC-like dx10/dx11-like systems like geometry shaders"

The "best looking games on Wii U" are games like Trine 2: Directors cut which was confirmed by its developers to be beyond the capabilities of PS3/360:
