Wii U 7.5 Gen confirmed!  Just like Wii was a 6.5 Gen, Dreamcast a 5.5 gen, and 3DO and Jaguar 4.5 Gens.  Expect the next Ninty console in late 2015 about the time when Wii U's sales realy fall off due to all the Top Third Party titles being 720 and PS4 exclusives!

Where's the evidence to this though?

If it's in th same situation as the Wii, why wouldn't live as long as the Wii, or any other Nintendo system for that matter?

What you're saying is what Pachter said about Wii HD, which didn't actually happen.

The evidence is in the line in the article that says in comparison to the PS4 and 720 specs it's definitely not a Next Gen console.

 

Because it's not going to sell like Wii.  It will sell a lot more like the Gamecube than the Wii and the Gamecube was retired after ~3 1/2 years.
