The Wii is part of the 7th console generation. To say the Wii is not part of this console generation would be to say the PS2 was not part of the 6th console generation.
The Wii and PS2's dominance in their respected console generations was due to their dominance over three main target market groups: Casual, Non-Gamers and Children(Under 18). The Gamer market groups was more evenly spread out and much closer in comparison to their competitors in their respected generations. Winning three market groups by huge margins clearly helped out with the PS2 and now Wii wiining their respected console generations.
