Graphically, yeah, but Oblivion had a better variety of climates and colors.

In terms of geographical biomes, Skyrim is more diverse than Oblivion by almost double. Skyrim has tundra plains, autumn forests, pine forests, volcanic wastes, craggy river valleys, swamps, snow fields / forests, and glaciers. Cyrodiil is mostly just the Great Forest, with the Gold Coast and the snowy Jeralls on the borders.

In terms of weather and color, Oblivion has the clear edge, but...not as much as I once thought, going back to it. Oblivion goes too far into oversaturation (particularly in greens), whereas Skyrim overcorrects and goes way too far into desaturation. Still, Oblivion easily wins this category, largely due to many of Skyrim's textures being just bafflingly ugly, from its ratty pine trees to its snot-colored cave walls and Imperial fort ruins.

tl;dr - Skyrim's worldspace is more diverse, but Oblivion's is still prettier overall.
