What does that have to do with anything? In the gaming industry next gen means more power and the Wii didn't have that. That's just my opinion.

There is nothing wrong with saying that Wii U is a next-gen console with typical 7th gen specs, if that is true. It's still a next-gen console though.

I wasn't talking about the WII U! This conversation is about the Wii!

If Sony and Microsoft release new consoles with the same specs as the PS3/Xbox360, Would you call those consoles next gen and be happy about it?

...It's the same case as the Wii though, except the Wii is a 7th gen console with similar specs to the Xbox/GameCube. It's still 7th gen because its product cycle coincided with the next PlayStation and Xbox, and its the next-gen Nintendo console after the GameCube.
