the only way to prove this is going by multiplatform games....i think you already know how they perfrom vs PS360 ones. Not much better.

Even if you look at the really "stunner" Wii U titles -- Mario Kart 8 and Xenoblade X it's not like they're miles beyond the best looking PS3/360 games ... Halo 4 and Last of Us are not that far behind if at all honestly. I think Xenoblade X is the one game that maybe punches a bit above those titles, Mario Kart probably gets away with probably more simplistic environments/character models due to its cartoony nature. 

Wii U games should look a little better even if we assume a 350 GFLOP processor, that's a decent bump from 250 GFLOPs on the 360, then factor in doubling the RAM to 1GB for games and triple the eDRAM from the 360 ... and sure some games should look better. 

I liken it more to the jump between the PS2 and the GameCube and especially XBox. Certainly the top tier GCN and XBox games like Rogue Squadron, RE4, DOOM III, and Riddick looked better than anything on the PS2, but they weren't like a huge step beyond the PS2 either. 

yes they are. the mix of better graphics, native 720p and 60fps early on already proves this.
