Whats the best thing this gen has brought to CONSOLE gaming.
last gen i believe it was Xbox live... nothing else really stands out.
i think most people will say motion sensing. but as i have barely played a wii. (might buy one for christmas maybe) i would have to say achievements.
Yes they can be bad as you get the achievement whores that have 200k plus gamerscore. but for me its good to go over them and see what you have. and its obvious to see what games you really liked etc.
Achievements have increased my playing as i use to get bored of games really quick (still do) but i play for a bit more or play games on the hardest difficulty to get those few more gamerscore points
If they could be used a little better to mould the way you play the game and have it almost impossible to get 1000 points unless you played it to death, then they would be perfect
achievemsents like getting 30 kills with every gun (dead space) etc are great as they do mould the way you play the game. but ones like shoot 30 toilets are just stupid and pointless etc and points for campaign should not exceed 500 max.
so yeah achievements are pretty sweet and i want a wii but i think it has no achievements!!!.
another thing would be wireless controllers. i hope next gen can take it further and wirelessly connect to the tv somehow so all you have is a power cord.

bandai pippin had wireless controllers and that was wayyy back during the first playstation!

it was also a horrible abortion of a console with hardware designed by apple, and internally they tried to kill it before it got out... in the end they sold the developed console to bandai..... it was suposed to be a dumb console (no media drive/internal storage) for hotels to rent out gaming through a main server with teathered permenet controllers when apple originally worked on it.... we see how that turned out
granted this was before the return of Jobs... the savior and bringer of the Ipod, and profits
