I consider the devices used in
Infinite Stratos to be power suits. Most people don't call
Iron Man and
Tiger & Bunny mecha.
Really, I don't think mecha is as much of a genre as it is a story device. The reason that it is called a genre may be is a marketing tactic to attract people who have a thing for watching characters manually pilot massive humanoid robots.
