My question is, what defines the "next gen"?
(A) Does a "Wii HD", at 1.4 GHz CPU (same or slightly upgraded PowerPC architecture), 128MB main memory, 48MB graphics memory, and a 400-450 MHz GPU (still Hollywood, or slightly upgraded architecture) count as "next-gen", or not? To date, no console, that I know of, from the "next gen" was less powerful than one (or more) from the "current gen".
(B) Does Microsoft releasing a "family friendly cutsy" XBox 360 in a new, little cute case, with a motion sensing "pointing mouse" count?
I say (A) No. (B) No. ...and I voted 2013, of course. =)
