Oh here we go, everything has to have two meanings when you mention something in a Nintendo thread. But to answer you question (which is not what I was implying, merely an annoyance as gamers misuse that term) I would go with what many large dev studios have said along with my own hardware knowledge which is no, merely due to the lack of new features it offers in power eg. dx11.1 30fps at 1080p with ~3-4 terraflops of power. And yes, this also means I would say the Wii was not current gen either, but heck, that sold well due to the cash cow casual gaming and motion controls Nintendo landed on.

so which determine a next gen is only power? -

Not just power, but gpu design eg. dx 9, dx 11 etc. All that combined would tell you were the consoles sit at in terms of correct technological generations.
|
Are you saying that Microsoft decides what is considered "next-gen"?
|
*facepalm*
Where do I even begin with a comment like that? You do know that dx has to be supported by hardware and was chosen over opengl because it was better to work with, not "because of Microsoft". Also I love how you ignore every other aspect, from media formats, cpu power, the algorithms nvidia, AMD, and game companies produce which make the dx/opengl possible etc.

Relax, it's just a joke. A joke poking fun at something said at Sony's E3 2006 conference.
