If that's the case, then he doesn't actually mean that this is the last console generation. But what he's saying is that this is the last change we're going to see in standardized hardware for a long time - and he's wrong. The industry cannot be allowed to stagnate, not now of all times.

He does say this is the last console generation. Now, unless you want to say that he's suggesting that the Wii isn't new hardware either...?

 

Wii is just two GCs duct-taped together remember?  It's no more powerful than the Xbox and so, no, many do no consider it 'next gen'.  

If a Xbox 720 and PS4 remain the same technically but with new interface devices and new online/software solutions (and Nintendo goes to Wii HD) then that won't be viewed so much as a new generation as it is a revamping of current generation.   Like DS - DS Lite - DSi. 

From a development stand point it's the same gen, however from a consumer perspective it may be 'next gen' just like the Wii is.
