And the Atari 7200 was a generation ahead of the Atari 2600 yet still considered Gen 1.

I believe history will lump WiiU in 7th gen with Wii, 360, PS3 and lump Nintendo's next console with Gen 8. Of course I could be 100% wrong but only time will tell.

Regardless you are completely correct in saying WiiU is a generation ahead of Wii for Nintendo.

atari 2600 is gen 2 and atari 7800 is gen 3

You are correct.

I meant to say Atari 5200 was a generation ahead of the Atari 2600 yet still considered a part of Gen 2 alongside Atari 2600.
