They are still miles ahead of the Wii U. I don't even consider the Wii U a true 8th generation console. More like 7.5 generation console :P

I don't consider the Xbox One or PS4 current gen consoles based on the fact that the 7th generation was extra long and spanned 2 normal generations and yet when they released these systems they still only had the regular leap in power. Wiiu is a gen 7.5 console, xbone and ps4 are 8th gen and pc is already in the 9th gen using the type of logic you are using. This is all just using your logic on that power is what determines what gen a console is in however I don't have that view. They are all in the 8th gen. The definition of generation is "the entire body of individuals born and living at about the same time". A new generation is about birthing something new and living at the same time as others in that generation.

That's cool. I can definitely respect your notion for sure. I just do not consider the Wii U to be of the same caliber of the X1/PS4 in terms of online functionality, graphical prowress etc. I do feel Nintendo have always been one-generation behind for quite some time. The Wii lacked high-definition whilst the PS3/360 dived into it head first and it seems the Wii U is only now just catching up with online gaming. Just my opinion. PC will always be king of visuals.

I agree with you on all the points you've made. Nintendo has a long ways to go and maybe one day they will be in a position to re-enter as a direct competitor to microsoft and sony but right now I think Reggie is correct and that Nintendo is better off with a differeniated product.
