Nintendo could release something that was only marginally more powerful than the Wii, and if they intended to go head to head with the next Xbox and Play Station, it would still be next gen. It's their offering to the next generation of consoles. It doesn't matter how damned powerful the console is. What if the Nextbox is 2x as powerful as the WiiU, and the PS4 is 2x as powerful as the Nextbox. Are they all in 3 different generations? Then how do we categorize them? In short: A console's generation is determined solely on which consoles it is in primary competition with. Gen3: NES, Master System, Atari 7800 Gen4: SNES, Genesis Gen5: N64, Saturn, PS1 Gen6: GCN, Xbox, PS2 Gen7: Wii, X360, PS3 Gen8: WiiU, X720, PS4 |
