If you think WiiU is still 7th gen, wouldn't that make the PS4 7th gen?

Hum... no.

Your logic comprehension fails.

People don't really say the Wii U isn't a 8th gen console. For all intent and purposes, it is. They're saying it is a 7th gen console from a graphics and horse power perspective. The PS2 was by all means a 6th gen console when it comes to horse power. It offered quite a huge leap forward compared to the 5th gen. In fact, when it came out, it was more powerful than PCs for a short while.

Now, the Wii U offers roughly the same graphical/technical fidelity as the 7th gen HD twins. Yes, it is most likely slightly more powerful. But it's not the leap we get from one gen to an other since the beginning of the game consoles history. Definitely not the leap we got from PS1 to PS2, PS2 to PS3, or PS3 to PS4.

If we apply your failed attempt at logic, the SNES isn't a 4th gen console because it wasn't as fast as the Genesis... ¬_¬
