That E3 showing made it clear that Nintendo is going full power and spreading themselves thin to produce decent games for this year. The graphical and computational problems with games like star fox, devil's third, and project cars, three years into the consoles life, shows how it is the hardware that is slowing developers down, not so much the concepts.

The very fact that we had bayonetta 2, smash bros, and mario kart 8 at really good visual performance only speaks about the ability of the developers of those games (especially smash bros), not so much about the ability of the console.

Actually, none of the developers of those games are known for their technical prowess. They obviously speak to the console's abilities since that is what the games run on.

I did not mean to say they were the most technically impressive developers (naughty dog seems to take that title), I meant that their great looking games stem from the fact that the developers had a lot more adaptive capabilities (and big budgets) rather than the wii u hardware being impressive. The wii u hardware would have been great for 2010, it was manageable in 2012, but in 2015 I would hesitate to call it capable when a lot of indie/crowdfunded developers are making games that surpass the scope of most wii u games on other consoles(no man's sky is great example).
