| ManusJustus said: When we refer to generations, we are speaking about their graphic and processing capabilities. So no, I am not out of line when I say that graphics are important. Third Generation - 8 bit era Fourth Generation - 16 bit era Fifth Generation 32/64 bit era Sixth Generation - 128 bit era |
Technically, a new generation of any technical device is just the successor to the previous generation that includes some major upgrade, improvement, or overhaul from the previous 'generation'. The Wii is well more than twice as powerful as it's predecessor (if you go based only on clock speeds, your argument is very shallow. Memory architecture, more texture & pixel pipelines, removed bottlenecks, etc, all play a very important role in overall speed), is far more efficient power-wise, included built in WiFi, an improved case design vs it's predecessor. The Wii also revolutionized console controls as we know them. If that's not a jump that justifies it being a 'next gen' compared to it's predecessor, I don't know what is.
I don't see your logic here. Not even remotely.
