Wow. So touchy. Why, exactly?

I'll word it an other way then... The Wii U is an underpowered new gen console. Better? Ha ha!

It's irrelevent to you, maybe. But obviously, it affects you quite a bit, since you're so adamant in making sure people see this the way you do. 

Also, nice of you to finish that post of yours by flaming.

I'll word it a different way for you, then. The PS3 and 360 were overpowered consoles, hence the exorbitant price of the PS3 and the fact that the 360 had hardware problems for the first two years.

My point? It's all perspective. And since we can't have reasonable debates about things when we use subjective measures such as "which console is underpowered, overpowered, etc" to define the basic parameters, the only rational thing to do is to choose an objective measure.

And what luck, we have an objective measure - time of release. Which fortunately lines up quite nicely with the actual definition of "generation".

As for why I'm touchy - I'm touchy about anybody who would dare to screw with the English language in order to reinforce their personal bias.

And no, there was no flaming. I referred not once to people, but to arguments. The argument over "What constitutes next-gen" is a STUPID one, based on the ignorant idea that power should be the defining property of a generation. I did not say in my post that the people involved in the argument are stupid, I said that the argument itself was stupid.

Man let it go. Not worth the time. The media and the haters are going to have a frenzy tomorrow. The situation is going to get worst before it gets better. Just enjoy the games you love - thats all what really matters.
