Wii U is the same "gen" as PS4 and Xbone. That nonsense needs to stop.
And Nintendo is not releasing a new console in 2016. Chances are good they'll UNVEIL their next console in 2016. But it will not come out until 2017.
Which means we get another good 2.5+ years of great Wii U content from them. Nobody that owns a Wii U should be in any hurry at all for them to release something new.
