It is very interesting to hear a Wii detractor say this. I think this would be the exact argument many Wii fans would make in asserting that Wii is next-gen. I think you may have meant to say more realistic graphics, because surely you aren't arguing that pushing buttons is more realistic than pushing buttons has been in the past in terms of gameplay...and you probably aren't arguing that PS3 games have been any more "realistic" in categories other than graphical prowess. By your logic: next-gen = Wii pseudo next-gen = PS3 (considering Sixaxis, upcoming EyeToy) even less next-gen = Xbox 360 (Xbox Vision I guess?)

PLUS, I read some guy in the forum saying that Nintendo were aiming for non-gamers with the Wii... So here's another reason for ya why it's not Next-gen.

This argument makes no sense, especially considering what you wrote above about gameplay.

If you are talking U.S., since PS3 is definitely not outselling 360 (not to mention PSP, Wii, DS or...PS2) that is certainly not the case. However, worldwide it may be the case for 360. However, if we are to also involve Wii, that argument obviously falls flat.

Soulxxx said:Now, what's your definition of Next-gen?

Glad you asked. I would use a more time-oriented definition, which concludes in this case that Wii, X360 and PS3 are all "next-gen."
