Not sure what, exactly, makes a console "next-gen".  I guess your view is that increased cpu horsepower and graphics resolution and graphics effects are what matters.  Nintendo doesn't believe this: they believe what matters is delivering an innovative and improved game-playing experience.  In that regard the ONLY next-gen console is the Wii: all I see on XBOX360 and PS3 are the same ideas and gameplay mechanics (with some subtle changes) that were available on PS1 and N64, but with more polygons, and higher resolutions .  In fact some games play better on the older consoles, for example Fifa08 and ProEvo (winning eleven)are more playable and have more features on PS2 than on XBOX360 or PS3.  In any case, the 480p graphics of the Wii on my 42" plasma look pretty good to me. In Australia Wii is perpetually sold out, PS3 and XBOX360 are available everywhere. nuff said.

All not true. The main 730MHz PowerPC CPU is (according the games coders) less powerful than the 733MHz Celeron in the XBOX1 (at least at the API level) and the GPU has lower throughput. Add the lack of HD support (XBOX-1 will happily do 720p and at a push 1080i) and the Wii is not a true 7th gen console.
