I feel the Wii-U isn't really a next gen console, the Wii was half a gen and the Wii-U is current gen
What you feel and what actually is are 2 different things.
Based on the definition of a console generation, The Wii U is next gen.
New technologies, graphics, etc. are not what defines a console generation.
whats the definition of a console generation?
The time era of which it got released.

The same because Wii-U just showed up 7 years late to the party.

From: king_madden | #020by the time that actually happens though, the next new things will be coming out for sony and MS. so as people are being amazed by the jump in technology for the ps4 and 720, I doubt many people are going to be saying "hey you know what the wii-u finally is pushing out things much prettier than the old ps3 could."
I think people really exaggerate what the next gen visual leap will be. I have no doubt in my mind, that it won't be remarkable. Next gen will be a features, not graphics.
There's actually not that much further that they can go, unless they want to spend years and years and years making a single game world, to potentially have it flop or be pirated by those with the "devs don't deserve my money" mentality.
This generation was a decent size leap, but all it did was jump up into PC level visuals and if they bring out something super duper, it's just going to overheat.
WiiU will be a perfect example of where console visuals are going.

I have no interest in the Wii U anyway,I don't hate the system I just have no interest in their first party games and I can play third party games on my PS3.

Just to clarify, yes, the first 8th gen home console has released and Wii U is better in some things compared to PS3 and 360, the same in others and worse in others.
End of story. Don't fanboys get bored of being fanboys?

Again, a console generation is defined by the time era in which it is released, not the technology.
The Wii is a 7th gen console, and the Wii U is an 8th gen.
Deal with it.

Mario will never be considered next gen. And a tablet for a controller with a 4 hour battery life sucks. At least you won't see cod players play for 4 hours + anymore.

Except Mario has been considered next gen for the past 7 generations.

next gen begins...with a console equal to last gen consoles.
Next generation is the next generation, not the super high tech improved over the last.
The WiiU is next gen, and it's arrival is the beginning of it.
.
I wish it felt more like it.
Do you do anything other than whine?

it's called, "charging while you play", which you can do with the PS3 DS3, which I do, with it being plugged into my laptop.

You really don't understand what 'next generation' means, do you?
You ever hear of 'the next generation of royals'? When they're but an infant? By your logic, they're not next gen, but previous gen

DmC looks like a good game. I also enjoyed the latest Final Fantasy and Resident Evil games. I like video games.

So it is out and its not next gen console since it is not using new tech never seen, everything already available. NIntendo fanboys would make you think this is a big thing, but Sony/MS don't care so why should we.
I would like to congratulate NIntendo for finally joining the 21st century with the wii-u, should have done it last year with the wii. And having a console thats in HD.

Young heroes between the ages of 12-17 make RPG and other video games better then older heroes 18-21 and over.

I think we need a class on how to understand the word 'next'. It really seems to baffle folk here.
Now since the xbox spanked the PS2, spec wise, does that mean it actually existed in it's own generation therefore the PS2 never actually "beat" it?
