Of course Wii U is a next-gen console. Generations aren't measured by power....

What are.. ? Sega cd and saturn are both considered 5 gen..

But wii-u is pure next gen.. and next gen will be defined by HD (becurse the biggest player enter, And the HD tv now have a big marked share) And offcorse the ekstra screen..

But there is one more thing you may not consider.. Virtuel reality... Wii U is made for it... (all nintendo have to do is make a upad, shaped as a headset.. whitout touch..) And also MS and sony expering with it..

VR will chance the way we game.. and the way we live.. This comming gen could very well be the one..and then it will be the VR Gen instead..:)

Being wholly dependent on the Genesis, the Sega CD was 4th gen, as was the 32X, and other contemporaries like the NeoGeoCD or PCEngine CD (TurboCD)
