if we went back to the old nomenclature of bits, what would the wii u be ?

I miss the old school 8, 32, 128 bits. it was so cool and simple.

Hard to really say because there are various parts of the system with different bit depths.   Consoles since the PS2, GC and Xbox have been 32/64/128/256 bit mixed systems.  

I recall people calling the PS2 era consoles, the 128 bit consoles.

I remember I used to refer to the current gen, the upcoming 256 bit consoles back in the time lol.

A few people started calling it the 128 bit era simply because it came after the "32/64" bit era and the DreamCast had a 128 bit GPU.  Even though the CPU was just 32 bits.   Sega even used 128 bit in their marketing material for a while.   The PS2 had a 64 bit CPU, like the N64.

But the problem is that bit depth labeled generations were always based on the CPU bit depth, not GPU.
