Yes.

And after the Wii U launches we will not be able to discuss the PS3/360 anymore and will have to go to the Legacy Board if we want to do so. By the end of November, this board will only be able PC, Wii U, Vita, and 3DS

Technically, it does, yes, but the thing I wonder is, how will the industry look at it?

Do they consider it a true next gen system that is here to push things, or just a slightly more powerful PS360?

Yes. It also starts another generation of Nintendo outselling the Competition.

Lol no. It's Nintendo's belated attempt to try and catch up with Sony and Microsoft.

That's probably because- and I can't believe I am having to outline this for you- console generations are determined by timeframe

Is that really your intent? All I'm seeing is a softball question. Why don't we try with something more interesting and disputable like:

Is WiiU's hardware closer to next gen or to current gen?

Because that was never in dispute, not even by the most braindead of all sheep. It's closer to this gen than next gen, of course. Unless both Microsoft and Sony decide to pull a Wii next gen, Wii U is closer to this generation's hardware than it ever will be to next gen hardware.

This.

The term generation has lost its meaning in general. Most people associate a next gen game with better graphics, but relative to the 6th gen, Minecraft is a next gen game if we go by the timeframe definition, and it has graphics from 3-4 gens ago!

These associations are meaningless today. I mean, Pushmo on 3DS is a next gen game! It's crazy how fast the industry is moving. People who still associate games with graphics or something other than a simple timeframe need to go out more, instead they use "but THIS is a TRUE next gen game!!!" when refering to some random AAA dev tech demo, LOL

So you gotta know that most of the people who make such a statement are actually trolling because of the reasons outlined by you.

I think the most reasonable definition of a generation jump is a major shift in third-party developement. That will not happen when the wii-u releases, but when PS360 do. For that reaon my answer is no.

No. It's got last gen hardware. It's finally entering this gen [spoiler] Yes it's next gen. But if there is a reason for people saying no, it's because it's gonna be another wii [/spoiler]
