"If you disagree with me, you're an asshole."
If nothing matters but the gameplay, then why are you so defensive about the visuals?
These screenshots aren't impressive, especially compared to what the other machines are doing (especially the PC), but that's not a crime. The Wii U's in the same position as the Wii when it comes to graphics. The machine is running outdated tech compared to its competitors, though some of the developers will figure out how to squeeze all the power they can from the device. On the bright side, to compensate for the lack of juice, a lot of games are going to have to rely on a strong aesthetic style over simple horsepower, so at least there'll be some interesting-looking stuff out there, too.
There's no need to be upset.
