When people say the Wii U isn't Next Gen, they aren't referring to time/competition, they are referring to power/graphics. Get a clue Jay.

.Close this.

Agreed. Thread needs to be closed. Trying to pass off opinion as fact is not beneficial for the community. 

This must be 8th gen, because it came out in 2012. :)

Kinda a hidden rule that you have to be relevant to be counted. Kinda the reason why people dont count Dreamcast in the 6th gen.

How do you determine relevancy though?

Let's be honest; it's all to do with power. A 2d game with the graphics of the SNES will never be called next-gen if it's announced to be released for the PS4. Next-gen games are ones that are considered to show significant technical improvement over previous games.  Why people then change it for consoles is beyond me.
