It's obviously a new generation, but I kind of understand the people who say it isn't or rather it doesn't seem like one. The generational leap here is pretty small, and I'm not just talking about graphics. The console does some cool new things, but most of what it does is done better, just as well or marginally worse on 2 of the machines we already have. It feels like a brilliant current-gen console instead of this grand leap past what we have like it's supposed to be/being hyped by Nintendo to be.

Hope I don't receive too much flak for that.

I don't think you have to fear anything. The Xbox 360 and PS3 were seen that way too. There's hardly any system that was significantly superior to what was already available when it launched.

Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox to PS360 was a much bigger jump than PS360 to Wii U. Graphically it was a huge jump (SD to HD alone is massive), the advancement in multimedia capabilities (even at launch) of the PS360 was big, as were their online capabilities (even though the PS3's was pretty bad a launch, it was still a big jump over what was on the PS2). The previous gen also did hardly anything (if anything, that is) better than the PS360.
