Saying the Wii isn't next gen from the quoted piece from Atari, is like saying the 360 is better then the PS3 since they listed it first. It trying to put your personal spin to bash another system.
As far as the wii not being next gen, sorry it is next gen. No not graphically, but controls have always been part of improving from previous generations. Controls have changed every generation except the last one. You have crosshairs of the nes, shoulder buttons of the snes, and rumble and anolog sticks being added to the standard controllers of the time.
