Technically, the Wii U is going to be a current generation console, not next gen.

But anyway, at the moment I am not likely to make the switch as soon as another console comes out.


Thats just ignorant. The WiiU runs a HD48xx series GPU at least 5 times faster than the Ps3. Since PC hardware hasnt gotten significantly faster in the last 2 years, even if the Ps4/Nextbox had Ati 6000 series GPU equivalents, the might be 20% more powerful than the WiiU at the most. Next gen is going to be an even closer playing field than the current gen and all 3 consoles will be 4-5x more powerful than the current HD offerings, allowing for every single game to run Full HD, with AA, and smoothly. The WiiU is definitely Next Gen. Why do people seem to think that because the Wii didn't have HD that it wasn't in the same generation as the Ps3/360? A generation is defined by the consoles that are competing for sales for any reasonable length of time. 

Sorry about that. Fanboys make me mad.
