“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

The last console to release is the only next gen console every consoles before that or either current gen or past gen



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

i would like to know..what is the one thing that makes the Wii U next gen console ?(8th gen)

is it the online online functionality ? better then xbox360 or ps3? "NO"( don't try to compare it to ps4/xbox one lol)

 Raw power? twice as much then ps3/xbox360 "NO" 

Graphics? huge difference then ps3/xbox360 games? "NO" 

Memory? as big of jump as ps4/xbox one "NO"

Cpu/gpu ? far more powerful then ps3/xbox360 "NO"

Hard disk? 8gb only basic...ps4 500GB/xbox one 500GB, 8gb only, is this a joke?

Bluray? ps4 yes,xboxone yes(finally) wii u "NO"

Connectivity..usb 3.0 like ps4 and xbox one,wii U "NO"

new and freshing games?(i know there is mario,zelda,metroid,kinda games coming out) but what are the new and original ips?

3rd party support "NO" games like watch dogs,the division,battlefield 4 ect. won't be on the wii u.lame!

HOW exactly is the wii U, a next gen console, when it is not even better then the current gen consoles which came out over some 7/8 years ago? don't even try to compare it to the PS4 or the xbox one! when in many categories it's not even better or the same as ps3 or xbox one....we all know by now that nintendo really messed up this time around...when you call it Next gen on one hand and on a another hand you have to deal with "loading times" it's almost laughable...by now we shouldn't have to deal with the "loading times" yet the damn thing can't even download a demo properly...

"i have nothing but respect for them but don't call it next gen console when it's not even better then the current gen consoles. i mean no insult to the nintendo or nintendo fans...but facts are fact.(i'm a sony fan but i don't get to a point where i blindy start worshiping them...if they mess up which they did back then with the ps3's price...you just have to admit it) just like that i think nintendo fans should accept the fact wii u turned out to be an failure! Nintendo can do better then that! come on

I'll cross out all the stupid arguments you make.

Why did somebody give him a real response? We should have just left this the popcorn thread until it died.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

WiiU = new gen just like Wii. Next Gen = PS4 and XboxOne.
However they are all in Generation 8.
It is also the next generation of Nintendo Consoles.



You are asking the wrong question.

Furthermore if your criteria for next-gen is merely something that is like the PS4 and XBone then of course the WiiU isn't next-gen, because it is different. If i chose to define next gen as improved efficiency, low power consumption, SSD, optional HDD, asymmetric gameplay, latency free second screen play with a fantastic integrated social network and free online then neither the PS4 or the XBone qualify.

Alas, neither of us get to choose a meaning for "next-generation", it's already got one.



Not this again

Reported for not bringing your own damn popcorn.  At least Jesus was considerate enough to not be a mooch.
