Look i know the WiiU is going to take a lot of heat but if you guys are happy with the WiiU just ignore them. Honestly i dont see why Nintendo needs a lot of power for their games so im glad where it is. They brought innovation to the table so just ignore what people has to say about the wiiu. It is next generation. Will it be the most powerful? no but it doesnt matter. As long as it has good games that is all that matters.


...In the OP I stated that generation status was irrelevant to if you enjoy a console or not....You can't just claim it's next gen without stating why. Tis the point of this thread.


Why is it next generation?  because it is the next generation of nintendo hence next generation.  

Power and innovation does not make something next generation.  Moving forward makes next generation.

But you are ignoring rival machines. It may be moving forward for Nintendo, but not when compared to existing consoles. It seems absurd to say that a console which is technically similar to 7th gen machines is 8th gen just because it was released at a later date.


7th and 8th gen are just takes it back to where it all began.  Id or Crytech, can't remember who considers us to be in the 3rd or 4th gen.  He counts from 3D modeling going forward.  It is all on interpretation on how you take that but honestly each console is in different generation.  That is just from when games began.  Xbox will be going into it's 3rd generation and PS4 to it's 4th etc.  It really doesn't mean anything else.  You are looking to far into this.

.....Wut? 
Well check point 5 of my OP.........


yes.  We are in the 8th generation of games.  Not 8th generation of specific company or console.  if you interpret that wrong it's not my fault.
