Well, first of all, how are you surprised by the hardware when we've had rumors for at least a year that it was going to be a hybrid handheld/console. Realistically the hardware is going to turn out better than we imagined with most rumors pointing toward a Tegra X1 successor around .6-1.4 tflops depending on whether or not it's docked, and NOW we're hearing that it will be somewhere between Xbox and ps4. So again, if you aren't impressed despite being a member of this forum for longer than I have, then blame your own ignorance.
Secondly; Nintendo games have super clean IQ but a simplistic art style. WiiU games looked FANTASTIC for the hardware and you're prematurely assuming that the launch trailer for the console is where Nintendo will stagnate with graphics and that's outright absurd to assume. Beyond that, Nintendo isn't that far off from Pixar so as far as graphical effects goes, there's not a whole ton of room for improvement - rather, I think Nintendo will focus on making game worlds bigger and more immersive which is right where they should be focusing on the first place.
Lastly, the upgrade from 360/PS3 to X1/PS4 is not as substantial as the jump from Ps2/Xbox was to the next generation. You can blame diminishing returns for that. I think that this thread is either premature or its flame bait.
