My points stands without an answer.

How many people didn't go with the "meh" consoles, like the SNES and PS1, or Wii U, to get the "true next gen" like Jaguar, N64 and the next MSony consoles.

 

True next gen sounds so lame and desperate.

people didn't go with the Dreamcast and waited for the "true next gen" PS2 and people didn't go with the 3DO/Jaguar (released oct/nov 1993), but waited for the "true next gen" PS1 (released dec 1994(jpn)/sept 1995)

No, the true next gen for the 128 bit era is the Xbox and the true next gen for the Ps1 era is the N64.

And boy, so many people have waited for that.

Fact is, in these gens there were machines released 1 or more years ahead of the competition, but people weren't ready to invest yet and didn't feel the hardware available was all that "next gen", so they waited until a console came around that satisfied these demands

Will the Wii U have a similar fate ? I doubt it, the software line-up is great and although the graphical advancements over PS360 aren't all too obvious (at this point) I think people might even not care that much, as I suspect a majority don't really want ultra-realistic graphics, but are more interested in good art.
