Are Wii U graphics better than Wii?

I believe the Wii maxed out at 480p, the Wii U at 1080p (the gamepad at native 480p), and in TV mode the Switch at 1080p and in Handheld mode 720p. Technically speaking, the resolution has improved with each new generation of consoles.

Is the Wii U better quality than the Wii?

The Wii U is by far the superior option for video quality. Not only does it have an HDMI port, it outputs in 1080p. It even upscales Wii content to 1080p, and does a pretty nice job of it. In comparison, the most the Wii can do is 480p, and it's not even a good 480p unless you invest in the WiiDual.
