The arguement over Wii being next or last gen irritates me. Wii is next generation. The definition from Meriam Webster for generation is
"1 a: a body of living beings constituting a single step in the line of descent from an ancestor b: a group of individuals born and living contemporaneously c: a group of individuals having contemporaneously a status (as that of students in a school) which each one holds only for a limited period d: a type or class of objects usually developed from an earlier type <first of the…new generation of powerful supersonic fighters — Kenneth Koyen>"
Wii is next generation, plain and simple. The definition has nothing to do with the power of an object matching the power of all similar devices (even though the sentence example uses the word powerful). But I do understand that really what everyone is doing when they bring up that arguement is trying to jab at Nintendo and it's fans by saying it's graphics and power do not match the PS3 or Xbox 360. Well, in that respect, Let me say this now, you are all absolutely correct. And I don't see Nintendo or any of their fans trying to dispute that. But Graphics is not everything. For some people it is apparently. And that's fine. I have my 360 for any high graphics desires I have.
I just don't know why this issue is repeatedly brought up by fans of other systems. It's established, against other next gen systems, Wii has lower power and graphics. Is there anyone that really disagrees with this? Ok, thank you. Doesn't change that the Wii is Next Generation. Doesn't change that it is selling very well.
