Horsepower is so irrelevant when it comes to determining a generation. It's always been time of release, up until the Wii whooped ass this past gen. People try to play semantics because they can't have it that the Wii was/is the market leader of a soon to be done 7th gen.
But here's what's ironic; Wii U feels more like a step backwards from the Wii than an evolution of it. An abandonment of a console that sold 100m units and 'won' the console war. An abandonment of a console that was very user friendly and economical. Which had a controller that really did revolutionize gaming.
What we get with Wii U is a hodgepodge of past Nintendo controllers with a touch screen. This isn't resonating with the market, and I remain baffled as to the mindset at Nintendo.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
