Nah. All the current consoles have horrible graphics, maybe it's because I've been spoiled? :P

I do! I actually built a small processor when I was at university, mind you it was only 4 bit, but it was a good learning exercise.
Also no "r" in my name.

This brings us to the big question, is Wii U current or next-gen? Technically, its part of the 8th generation of consoles, but it doesn't have next-generation techology. On a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 is current and 10 is next-gen, Wii U probably falls around the 3 mark. People keep saying how next-gen games don't look that much better than current-gen. That's is false. This however, does apply when talking about the Wii U. |
Lets be honest, the biggest and most noticeable thing between any generation that people can notice is generally the graphics.
Battlefield 3 on the consoles running at 720P or lower with 30 FPS, with half the map size and player count and comparatively low/medium graphics settings is almost a completely different game compared to what's on the PC where people are running it all on ultra with 5-10x that resolution and double the framerate, bigger maps with more players.
Having the larger maps with more players can really change the dynamics in multiplayer, making it far more hectic.
Graphically I would consider Battlefield 3/Crysis 3 graphically to be the start of next gen, which is nothing to sneeze at, they look incredible on the PC, especially at a 7680x1440 eyefinity resolution, that's very much in stark contrast to the consoles where to me they look like a muddy mess.
Also, technically wouldn't the PC always be Next Gen? I mean, yearly upgrades and all means it's always the most advanced platform.
