The WiiU is definitely a next-gen console, and yes i believe the 360 will grab 2nd place, just. It still bothers me that anti-nintendo fanboys still consider the WiiU as 'just catching up to current gen" when its obviously a next-gen console. It'll kick off the 8th generation, and be a significant leap over the current-gen HD consoles and compete reasonably well with the next Xbox and Playstation. "Anonymous" devs coming out and saying the WiiU is weaker than the current HD consoles are either fanboys with nothing to do, or devs getting a giggle out of trolling gamers. The ones who aren't anonymous are far more believable:

THQ: "WiiU is just alot more powerful than current HD consoles it does 1080p very easy."

Crytek: "WiiU devkits are very powerful,the specs are very good"

Vigil Games: "We had the game at the same level as high end pc version in a matter of days and a few lines of code got the game up and running on tablet in 5 mins."

Epic: "It will do things current HD consoles simply cant do its going to be a powerful box."

EA: "Wii U is not a transitional platform, it is a true next generation system."
