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.

we don't know exactly how much more powerfull than ps360 the wii u is. but we can say for sure the difference is from moderate to high.

How can we "say for sure" what the difference is when you yourself just said nobody knows how much more powerful it is? I also like how you're trying to tell me my subjective terminology is incorrect, and then introduce your own subjective terminology.

 

The point is, most Wii U games so far look equal to or, in some cases, even worse than PS360 games. Of course it's the beginning of the console's lifecycle, and by the end of the Wii U's life it will have produced several games that are notably better looking than anything on the 7th gen consoles. But Look at the PS2's launch lineup. There was nothing on the previous gen's consoles that compared to something like Tekken Tag , Dynasty Warriors 2 or Midnight Club, from a graphical standpoint. All signs point to the difference between the PS2 and the 5th gen as being a much bigger leap than the Wii U from the PS360. That's the whole point.
