I stand by my statement that the WiiU is indeed the first what will presumably be the 8th Generation of consoles. These arguments about the power of a console determining a consoles "Generation" are simply incorrect. For example, the N64 was a 64-Bit console, and had superior graphical capabilities when compared with the PS1, which was only a 32-Bit console. Anyone who thinks that these two consoles were a apart of a different generation is simply wrong. The two were in direct competition with one another for sales and market share.
The Wii claimed a large casual market share, but the console was launched to challenge the PS3 and X360 in direct competition. It had its share of hardcore games. It was a 7th Generation console, there's no doubt about it.
Consequently, the successor to the Wii is the WiiU, and it is undeniably an 8th Generation Console. |
Then explain why if Braid 2 was released for the PS4 it wouldnt be labelled next-gen if it was the same graphics.
The Wii did not challenge the PS3 or 360. That's like arguing the Dodge Ram challenges the Ford Mondeo. The Wii was aimed at a different share of the market than the 360 and PS3. Just compare the game line up and it is obvious that is the case. It's share of "hardcore games" can be counted on one hand, and by hardcore games, I mean Western core games.
You also use the faulty idea that successor = generational leap. If that's the case then how do you guage where the xbox starts without then introducing completely arbitrary rules?

Why are you in here argueing with everybody? The Wii was obviosly after the same crowd and expanded with casuals just like X36- and PS3 expanded with move and kinect. The wii also outsold both of them.
Anyways i don't feel like argueing with you but i dont understand why you are argueing the way you are.

If the Wii was after the same crowds why did Nintendo make a console that a)focused on motion controls and b) wasn't able to play the vast majority of core games?
Saying the wii outsold them is akin to saying the ford mondeo outsells the dodge ram. Yes it does, but it's a comparison which has no value to it. Pens outsell Ferrari's - point?
