OT, the information contained within the OP does not constitute proof but what I really want to say is...
I have a dream..........that people would stop worrying about tech and start talking about actual games again! (this is not directly solely at this thread)
The Wii U punches above its weight, this much we know. What its weight is exactly we don't know. We will get games at least as good looking as we have with the HD twins, better looking than the HD twins, and then if we are really lucky we might get some games that take a step to bridging the gap between the HD twins and the new HD twins. However, amongst all 5 consoles there are going to be very few games that are bleeding edge, it's clear at this point that that ship has already sailed (with the PC on board).
What we will get is the best-looking iterations of Nintendo franchises that we have ever seen, and with the artistic skill they possess, that is no small thing. What would be even better, and what gets me excited, is if we get the best-playing iterations of Nintendo franchises we have ever seen.
This pointless to and fro over, what often amounts to, very small differences and needless comparisons only serve to fuel people's insecurities and diminish their enjoyment of games that they might otherwise enjoy.
