WiiU is a generation ahead the Wii.

Thanks for clarifying for me.

Re: Bold - Might well be idiocy but Wii while directly comparible to the previous gen's power introduced an element that will without question be strongly associated with 7th gen systems (motion controls).  WiiU again not comparible to 8th gen system powerwise, also does not have a unique characteristic to associate it with anything other than the 7th gen aside from coming after Wii and coming, as you mention, 6 years later.   For those that will argue the point, Dreamcast had a second screen on the controller, Gamecube, Wii and PS3 used handhelds as an additional controller (with it's own screen) in certain games.  Of course DS but that's a handheld so for the sake of arguement we won't include it.

I am as usual assuming WiiU will have a short life and Nintendo will release another console mid 8th gen, which will be considered a full 8th gen console bumping WiiU back to 7th gen in the history books as it'll fade out in the same time frame as PS3 and maybe 360 (hard to project how much of an afterlife that will have).   If I'm wrong on that account, WiiU will obviously stand as a 8th gen console.   

Wrong, wii u isn't much behind the ps4 and xone.

You should really drop this. In terms of power, the Wii U is a lot closer to the PS360 than PS4/X1. This is a fact, and everyone else has come to terms with this.

If you so badly want a powerful console, why not just buy a PS4 or X1? The best parts of a Nintendo console aren't graphics or power anyway, and if you don't see that then you are missing out on what they really offer.
