WiiU is a generation ahead the Wii.

A generation ahead of the Wii isn't very impressive, in my opinion. A generation ahead of the HD twins is another thing. But that's no biggie for me really. It's more powerful than both and unlike some I'm actually content with the late offerings from both consoles this gen, so if the Wii U can at least do what they're currently doing then that's fine.
