| Agente42 said: First, is not technology because u forget the portable scene. More than 50% of market don't follow what you advocate. Gen 7 is about three things: Motions controls, touch generation and online gaming. But is not determinated by that. PSP don't have any of that, and belong 7th generation. The core tech defines only the winner don't all consoles and portables. Videogame generation is majority determined by time, because videogame is all about games and don't high specs. If technology were crucial to video game generations, the most advanced console would normally be the most successful console. Which offers the best technology considering the trade-off. However, it is not about technology, but about games. Technology is just a tool for developing new games, only it doesn't define a generation but the time when consoles compete for consumers. And the winning console technology will be something that may be adopted in the future by competitors, often adopted in the same generation, but by simulating the successful games of the winner. |
The Gen 7 handhelds are defined by technology as well, but just a different set of technology as mobile runs on a different cadence.
I.E. Gen 7 mobile was all about early mobile 3D acceleration with the DS and PSP.
