As I mentioned in another forum, while Mario Kart 8 has visible polygon edges, it proves on a technical level that the Wii U is capable of doing what the PS4/XBox1 can do, but just not at the same power level, such as 1080p, and with insanely high res textures, or with massively geometrically filled expanses.
Essentially, Mario Kart 8 proves that the gap between the Wii U and PS4/XBox1 is not that huge, and that this is not the Wii and PS3/XBox360 situation all over again.
