R700 is the chip that is comparable with the WiiU GPU.

For a 2012 console, not matter what happens, the Wii U will not be kicking out graphics that are anyway near as good as gaming PC's from a few years ago. In short, with that GPU, the WiiU really isn't a next-gen console. 

The Wii U is launching after the Wii, isn't it? 

So if I released a console with a 200Mhz CPU, 46Mb Ram and a Geforce FX 5200 you'd classify it as next-gen?

Note how I said "with that GPU". 

The GPU, in fact all specs, are largely irrelevent to being classified as next gen.

The sole requirement is that you are part of a predecessor/successor relationship of flagship consoles.

Whether they want to release a console with specs that are doomed to fail is their business.   It's dead on arrival next gen but still next gen.
