Who calls this gen "next gen"? Next refers to the future and we are in the present. I can understand refering to consoles as "next gen" while in a transitional period when both old and new are still on the market, but this gen is too old to call "next gen".
Here's so help for anyone still confused:
Past - Last Gen - Xbox, PS2, Dreamcast, Gamecube
Present - Current Gen - Xbox 360, PS3, Wii
Future - Next Gen - Nextbox, PS4, Wii U
Next year will shift everything over like this:
Past - Last Gen - Xbox 360, PS3, Wii
Present - Current Gen - Nextbox, PS4, Wii U
Future - Next Gen - ???
Right now we are in a transitional period so some people will consider the Wii U "Next Gen" and PS360 "Current Gen" while others will consider Wii U "Current Gen" and PS360 "Last Gen".
