No one is saying that WiiU is not a generation ahead of Wii. People are saying that Wii U is not a generation ahead of XBOX 360 and PS3.

Lifetime Sales Prediction - 6/29/2013
Wii U - 38 million
XBOX One - 88 million
Playstation 4 - 145 million

No ones arguing that, its my point hence why the 360/PS3 are outselling the Wii U as if it didn't exist.

yeah that's why PS3 introduced Move and Xbox introduced Kinect. To compete with a console a generation behind everythig else?!? You're so out of touch dude.

Well the fad has ended. POP!

By fad you must mean move becuase the wii mote is a viable option and kinect is bundled with the X1.

"wii mote" look at current Wii and Wii U sales

"kinect is bundled with the X1" which is a reason to not buy according to many.

So as you can see the fad has ended, general public is not interested in games because of Wii mote anymore and hardcore gamers dont care or wont buy a console because it has motion control.

I consider the Wii U to be in the same generation as the PS4 and XBO, I think it shouldn't be based on power.

Yet another "hardcore" gamer who only views progress in terms of polygon counts..

It's quite the opposite of what you claim actually.. Wii was WAY ahead of its time, which is the reason Sony and MS are now trying to "catch up" with their motion control Wii-type games. PS3 and 360 were and are the ones behind the times, clinging to the same old type of games and gameplay, and also the reason they are fighting for second place. Wii was truly something new.

LOL! Next there will be Nintendo haters saying the U is on par with the wii and Nintendo was stupid for creating a new console instead of having the pad communicate with the Wii.

They were stupid for releasing the pad at all. Keeping on with the Wii would have been best.

- 20x the installed base
- Virtual Console already had all the games on it
- Bug-free, fast OS
- Not like they could have less third party support
- Gamecube BC
- Every first party game shown so far except Pikmin 3 and X would have worked on it as is, graphics wise
- 1/2 the price
- No one is buying Wii U for the U Pad's gameplay anyway

Wait, are you saying release a higher-spec Wii with HD graphics, or just don't put out a new console and keep supporting Wii for another six years?

Yeah, it is ahead of the Wii. OBVIOUSLY.
But the Wii was a generation behind PS3/360 so this basically puts Wii U roughly on par with 7th gen consoles.
