Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo WiiU is not a next-generation system!

Weren't the older generations based on for example, 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit...

Wouldn't those gens be based on technological stuff?


Carl, by that definition, Nintendo 64 or even Atari Jaguar are more advanced than XBox, as the XBox used a 32 bits processor, and the Nintendo 64 and the Jaguar a 64 bits one.

 

Even if we use this definition based in DirectX compatibility of it's graphics chip, WiiU is supposed to have a DirecX 10.1 chip, PS3 a DirectX 9, and X360 a DirectX 9 with some custom instructions as Memexport.
