I'm not quite sure how you managed to get "confirms Wii-U is a next gen console" from the quote "in between current gen and next gen consoles".

You've even bolded the line which says that.

Well this is the second game they confirmed that they have a game visually above current-gen PS360 with that along that this is Ninntendo's newest home console confirms it is next-gen!!!  Anyways just because X1 will be slightly less powerful than the PS4 (don't kill me MS fanboys) doesn't mean X1 won't be next-gen.  Wii U is definitely the least powerful of the 3 consoles but it won't have the same amount of diffrence that was found on Wii vs PS360.  Hell, the Wii U already runs all their games  consistently on 720p vs some sub-HD games found on PS360.

Any proof for that claim? Cause of course you mean games that are multiplatform between PS360 and Wii U, not some games on PS360 that weren't released on Wii U, which would make the comparison plain stupid, right?

All games on Wii U run at least @720p. Blacklist, for exemple, only run @720p on Wii U.

The Wii U also has a few sub-HD-games: http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1676919&postcount=5
