Wii is Next Gen! Stop saying its not!?

[Uncle Jimbo]

*sigh*

What's really Next-Gen about X-Box 360 and PS3? It's a hype term drummed up to get people to spend more momeny for the same thing with a hardware upgrade. If I buy a new video card, it's not a next-gen computer. Plain and simple.

The Wii is the MOST next-gen of all the consoles, hands down. The other consoles are simply similar concepts with upgraded hardware for the most part.

You can't class a PC in the same category as Video Game Consoles - there are just too many variables.

Yes, PS3 and Xbox360 are an improvement on their predecessors, but I wouldn't call them innovative so how could they be 'next gen'? That's like calling a car next gen when it’s had a bigger engine put in or new wheels added.

Now the Wii has had the most R&D out of all the consoles which has resulted in high levels of innovation with the end result, a product that has new features. Going back to the car comparison, this would be like installing suspension or airbags into a car (i.e. years ago) for the first time. Thus making the product ‘next gen’.

However, if does really come down to what you interpret ‘Next Gen’ as.

1) The next series of console releases (In which case all three would be Next Gen)
Or
3) A significant improvement in technology that brings something ‘new’ to the market (In which case, only the Wii is Next Gen).

You also forgot to clarify that WiFi access is next gen, which makes all the systems a next generation...but we should stop saying next gen, as they are now current gens.

If video game consoles keep becoming more and more like pc's, which the ps3 has, and the xbox360 is clearly on that route, would it not only be far to put pc's in the same class?

If you are going to talk about all these pc aspects of consoles(even those gpu's are manufactured by computer gpu manufacturers) that make then next gen, how could you not put it in the same class?

 

[Icetrash]

Ok I'm sick of people saying the wii is not a next gen console.

Bottom line kid, the Wii isnt a next generation console.

 

[Kamikaze]

Neither is Ps3 or Xbox360, they are all now current gen consoles.

I meant in the sense that you buy a Wii it' one specification, where as if you were to purchase a PC, there are so many different specifications around that you can't sum the whole PC market up as a single variable.
