One once again as I said before, if that is the case then why is the 360 elite not in a generation of its own?

Do i really need to explain that to you?  It is a modification to current hardware, not a step up or means to move forward with new technology.

So you are then looking at hardware which then means that the Wii U may not be next-gen as it could be argued that it is neither a step uo or means to move forward with technology.

It is a step up from the Wii and that is pretty obvious.  if you argue that then their is no reasoning with you.  Ive already explained all that and I also want to point out that the Wii does not play WiiU games.  Now why is that? 

Anyways i'm sure you will reply with some other reason you have but this is still a never ending whole.  If you want to complain about this then you can try to change the worlds view on this subject.  

From the Wii, yes, but not compared to the PS3 or 360, therefore it's 7th gen, no?

If you don't compare all existing consoles to one another in terms of hardware, then how can you classify consoles which are not successors e.g. Xbox, Playstation etc?

No, the wii's competion was the X360 and PS3.  Something that is explained in the OP.  WiiU's competion will be the PS4 and the NeXbox.  hence 8th generation.  what is so hard to understand about all this?
