Yeah, the WiiU is a generation ahead of the Wii, but the Wii was a generation behind everything else out at the same time

Yet another "hardcore" gamer who only views progress in terms of polygon counts..

It's quite the opposite of what you claim actually.. Wii was WAY ahead of its time, which is the reason Sony and MS are now trying to "catch up" with their motion control Wii-type games. PS3 and 360 were and are the ones behind the times, clinging to the same old type of games and gameplay, and also the reason they are fighting for second place. Wii was truly something new.

Wii wasn't ahead of its time, it was a fad that quickly faded away.

No, it wasn't. 5 years is a normal console lifespan, a fad would have been 2 years.

And need I mention again that the wii mote is still being used for the U?
