Not sure where I read it, but some developers mentioned that Nintendo was listening to the developers (programmers?) and changed the development kit in response to that.

But you make some good points, I never really thought about it that way.

And yet there are some facts that are hard to argue with. The developer of Aliens: Colonial Marines said to ONM that the Wii U has more RAM and a great processor. And that's why the Wii U version of the game will probably look better than the other versions.
It could still be hype, but it will bite him in the butt if it doesn't turn out to be true.
