I don't get why people refuse to think that the WiiU is not next-gen, or that the other consoles will be a marked improvement over the current ones...


i don't get why people refuse to think the other consoles can't make a marked improvement over 7 year old (8 by the time it releases) technology.  did the world suddenly stop advancing? 

No, but the economy did. People won't go out and pay more than £400/$450 for a new system now, that is almost certain. So unless you sell at a dramatic loss, you won't see a marked improvement.

i'll pay $400 and see a marked improvement.  you don't give enough credit to what $400 purchase price (an extra $100 over the wiiU) can buy especially when $100 and ~15% of the systems power isn't going towards a manditory secondary screen.  launch games won't be mind blowing different but they will be noticably better and by the end of next gen i promise you games will be mind blowingly more advanced than what you see today.  ..just like ps2 to ps360.

No, that's very true. I'm not saying the other consoles will not be a marked improvement; more that porting to the Wii U will be possible so a new console is not needed. 

well, i'm entirely sure about porting to wii U ... but i will obviously conceed that nintendo won't and shouldn't can the wiiU by 2014.  i'm posting dispite what the article in the OP says not because of it.
