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

First of all, the Wii U is absolutely an 8th gen console. That being said, the PS2 was significantly more powerful than any of the 5th gen consoles, whereas the Wii U isn't much more powerful than the PS360. So in that sense your argument is flawed.

Still, power is irrelevant to generation.

Pretty much this.

 

General

It has to do with sequencing and not power (so in this sense it is next gen). However, the Wii U's power is more akin to the power of PS3/360 than PS4/XBO, and that's why some people tend to lump it with current gen consoles, but we're not going to get into that.
