There won't be any noticeable difference from Wii U if they go 720p. Most people have 1080p monitors anyways, and it offers a HUGE improvement in image quality over 720p upscaled, where a lot of detail/shading is blurred. Play a Wii game, then play it again on Dolphin. See the difference resolution makes?

Native 1080p

I've tried it on my own TV, going from games like Captain Toad or Tropical Freeze at 720p to Rayman Legends or Smash Bros at 1080p. It's slightly sharper, but the difference isn't dramatic.

And if NX does turn out to be powered by Tegra X1, then it should be capable of doing notably better graphics than Wii U at 720p; superior shaders and effects, more detail, higher resolution shadows and textures, etc. At 1080p, however, it won't be able to far exceed what Wii U can do at 720p.
