Because technology is very important as it allows better AI, and better graphics help a lot with immersion. I'd say the Wii wasn't next gen. If you ignore hardware then what makes something next gen becomes very messy (release date, name etc all have issues when compared to PS3 slim, or xbox elite - think about it ;) )

Well, so you claim the PS2 wasn't in the same gen as Xbox and Gamecube, as these two clearly had considerably more power?

 

The difference between PS2 and GC/Xbox was visible, but not enough to be a game changer. The difference in power between Wii and PS360 is much bigger, enough to make some PS360 impossible to port to the Wii without a complete change on it's mechanics. 

Compare God of War 2 and Halo 2. There is a difference, but isn't that big. Now compare Mario Galaxy and Uncharted 3/Halo 4. It's a huge, huge difference.
