If this thread creates the perception, that to be the true "next gen console" means to have the best sales, then yes Nintendo is the most next gen of all.
But
Maybe people were and still are simply not ready for the "new generation" IMO Microsoft jumped the gun, causing Sony to do the same.

IMO Sony and Microsoft have taken gaming in the right direction. Fact of the matter is though, that direction is too complicated and/or expensive for most people to jump on board with.

IMO An evolution or progression of gaming has occurred with Sony and Microsoft.

IMO Nintendo has just created a PS2 with a parallel control scheme at a comparatively low price point. The masses love this because they pay attention to marketing, and enjoy having more money. And who doesn't love Mario?

You ask- was Sony left in last generation?
The answer is No, they (and Microsoft)have created a new generation
The rest of the world was left in last generation. with the wii.

True innovation will never be accepted (at first) on a grand scale.
Enjoy your Nintendo you Sheep.
But know if the world ended tomorrow, you will have to die like everyone else knowing that you made the choice to own a wii.
I hope you all choke
Yet the Wii has introduced something new for me - for the first time since i've been with her the wife has allowed me to have a console in the living room (well she moved the GC into the living room when Zedla WW was being played), out of a PS2, Xbox, GC, 360 and Wii this is a first.  She now also buys games herself and i'm sure mine is not the only household this is happening in.My point is this gen and all gens following after that will be decided by it's sales and popularity and all the extra DVD players or 6 spare controllers in the world aint gonna change that. 

 



Those people that think they're perfect give a bad reputation to us who are... 

"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony
