Meh 2 comments,

1.) I don't really consider the Wii to be "Next Gen" on a technical level, but definately as a Nintendo Console. The wii is Very next gen :P

Wii > Xbox/Gamecube/PS2 (raw performance)

Therefore, Wii's technology is the next generation.

I fail to see the issue.

 But the "gen" is usually in some sort of competition, we can all assume that there was a technical standard "last gen" seeing as the Ps2, gamecube, xbox all had similar looking titles. But this gen it seems the 360 and the PS3 have the similar titles, and the Wii has it's own separate color spectrum. I would put the 360 and the PS3 as the "console standard" for power and performance. It's not that the Wii is last gen, just not quite "next gen", maybe "Middle Gen" :P
