I was just wondering after reading over the internet, people still say the WiiU is 7th generation. But from I see and with there logic wouldn't that make the upcoming PS4 7th generation?
Ok let my break it down, from what I understand the WiiU is a 7th generation console [with ps3/xbox360] because of the Nintendo Wii being a whole generation behide. So the Wii was consider a gen behide because it wasnt graphicly on par to the ps3/xbox 360, that makes it the less powerful console, and which [by fanboy logic] makes it a generation behide...Why would you consider a new console release by a company in the same generation as the previous one? doesn't make since but lets get back on subject.
So By this logic I come to the conclusion that the ps4 will also be 7th generation. because..
Well to start I could do back the the PS1 and Nintendo 64 era but the reduce confusion lets just start at ps2 era.
Out of the PS2,Gamecube, and Xbox. The PS2 was obviously consider the less power console. which by [fanboy logic] makes it a generation behind. So instead of being in 6th generation its in 5th gen, which makes the PS3 in 6th generation and now the upcoming PS4 in the 7th generation category.Like this. (only including Sony/micosoft/Nintendo)
5th Generation:PS1 ,PS2
6th Generation: Xbox,Gamecube,Wii,Ps3
7th Generation: Xbox 360, WiiU, PS4.
Make since? not really? well thats because its behide a completely bised logic! Lets just agree to stop with the fanboyistic logic and go by the fact that a console release after the previous one is the next generation line of consoles. So by time. if a new console comes out, what ever generation is currently going on it fits in there. I guess if you consider the ouya a gaming console, yes its in 8 generation.
So yea, I could have done more research but if theres something im missing. tell me. :D

Anyone that says the wiiu is 7th gen is wrong. First off, saying something is "7th gen" really doesn't mean much, as there is no clear divide besides release date. Based on power, I think the wiiu is halfway between the strength of PS3 and PS4. So we will dub it 7.5th gen.
