WiiU's next gen because its designed to get downports from the Xbone and Ps4. Its a next gen set of ethos and design.
WiiU's all about optimization. People call it a 7.5 gen console because its still PPC. It doesnt have a huge amount of RAM to be PC like so devs can just right code that will run anything.
Sure its stronger but Ps4 and Xbox One will lose performance. Just like PC's do.
The WiiU is an 8th gen console because that what its capabilities and design tell me it is.
