Because of specs and bashing of internet.
But Wii U is next gen, generations are determinant on when are they released, not on what specs they have.

True we are calling Wii U 8th gen because of it's release timing, but when we say "next-gen" it means advanced from the current gen.  Wii U is 8th gen in label only.

well going by your definition of "advanced from current gen"  WiiU is 8th gen as its advanced from its 7th gen Wii....Logic i know it hurts the brain cells
