The primary competition of the Wii U is the PS3, Xbox 360 and even the Wii. And Wii U is doing pretty bad. I doubt the Wii U will last longer than two years once new consoles from Microsoft and Sony arrive. (no bash intended) So it's really kind of an 7.5-ish console. It is in direct competition with the last generation AND the new generation.
Thar said, it's purely up to interpretation what is Next-Gen and what is not. It becomes more complicated if you look at other markets. What about smartphones for example? Are 99 $ Smartphones with Single Core CPUs Next Generation just because they release in 2013 and are a successor to some other phone? Doubt it.
