Also...why is bluray considered the next gen when it comes to movies when all it offers is a prettier picture? Silence of the Lambs is not a better movie cause its on bluray... Yet when it comes to videogames, you people claim visuals don't matter. Sounds like some people here are in denial or hypocritical on the graphics issue...


I'm not sure what you are trying to say since this is a contradiction.  Do you mean Silence of the Lambs is not better because it's on Bluray, and games are not better with better graphics?  Or do you mean Silence of the Lambs is better because it's on Bluray, and games are better with better graphics?


Im saying that the movie is the same...but it is considered the next step because it looks better. Therefore a game that looks better should be considered the next step too no? Guitar Hero 3 looks better on ps360 than Wii...is it not a better game experience?

I don't know...I know what you are saying but I don't know how much new game design ideas we will see at this point.  There is so much out there that can be tweeked and adjusted to provide a new expereience now that I don't think a revolutionary idea is needed this generation. Xbox live/PSN was next gen for consoles this generation.  Also universal 720p support was next gen for consoles too. Xbox did 720p on 5% of games last gen. PS2/GC did it on 0%. DLC was next gen. COD4 online play is something not possible on consoles before this gen so that should be considered next gen.  In game achievements...next gen. Wii mote is next gen too, well an idea for next gen that developers have yet to fully adopt as next gen...too bad its on a piece of hardware that doesn't support any of the previously listed next gen ideas. Its much easier to add motion controls to PS360 than add the rest to wii...
