Each generation needs to have sufficient power to allow devs to make truly next gen games without the limitations posed in earlier gens. The wii has been to me, a half generation behind, and the wii u is to me, a full generation behind. Sales mean nothing here, I am going purely off of technical capabilities. They may have gimmicks tied to them, but I view the gimmicks as forced peripherals, not generational leaps I do think ps3 and xbox 360 tried to start the 7th gen earlier than it was ready for but the 8th gen has launched at a pretty good time to be financially reasonable while showing excellent improvement. |
I also agree with this, i like to measure generations by the power of the consoles and not the time of their release.
For the most part, every console of each gen has been relative equivalent when it comes to horse power. Nintendo being the exception since the 7th gen with the Wii, and now with the Wii U.
I reeeally hope they make a good use of their money and invest in a proper R&D so the NX can be at the very least, equivalent to the Ps4.
Im sick of "intra" generations.
