The ps3 and xbox 360 BOTH cant do games in 1080p and 60fps, nuff said the conversation should end there. The wiiu is ahead of the ps3 and xbox 360. you might say 'look at the last of us, it looks way better than any wiiu game'' well to that i say look at all the titles that came out a year after the ps3 (and especially the xbox 360) and than compare

This, the wii wasn't able to do more than 480p so it was a gen behind the ps3 and xbox 360 now that wii U is a gen ahead of the wii it's the same gen as the ps360 nuff said


The Neo Geo was able to do things that most consoles couldn't match until the Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox/GC era, but that doesn't change the fact that it was released back in 1990 and is a contemporary of the SNES/Genesis. The idea of power alone determining a generation is a false one. Heck, look at the hand held contest, the Game Boy line usually had the weakest system on the market but was compared to more powerful devices, same with the DS vs PSP, no doubt they are the same generation but their abilites are vastly different.

The original Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicom was not stronger then either of Sega's two first entries (SG-1000 or Master System/Mark III) but they are all grouped in the same generation.The only way the Wii U isn't grouped with the PS4 or Xbox One would be if Nintendo killed the system off early and even then they are likely to still be grouped together just like the Dreamcast is with the PS2/Xbox and GC.

Yeah, the WiiU is a generation ahead of the Wii, but the Wii was a generation behind everything else out at the same time


Yet another "hardcore" gamer who only views progress in terms of polygon counts..

It's quite the opposite of what you claim actually.. Wii was WAY ahead of its time, which is the reason Sony and MS are now trying to "catch up" with their motion control Wii-type games. PS3 and 360 were and are the ones behind the times, clinging to the same old type of games and gameplay, and also the reason they are fighting for second place. Wii was truly something new.

"in terms of polygon counts"

 

And services, comunication, social media, history telling, cinematics...pretty much everything the Wii misses. I dont understand how motion control makes up for all that.

WTF is history telling?


Is a typo, i meant story telling, narrative, sorry im not a native english speaker.

Ok since people say the wiiu is 7 generation, so your saying nintendo release two consoles in the 6 gen? (wii and gamecube) that doesnt make any since why are people saying really retarded stuff? Ok.. by you logic, The PS4 will be 7th generation also! remember the ps2? how weak it was compare to the other consoles, I guess since it was the less power it was a generation behind which makes it 5 generation. That will make the ps3 6th generation and the upcoming ps4 7th generation!


See how dumb things get when we use your fanboy logic?

Whelp, the impression is that the wii is 6.5, is a gamecube with motion control, no other inovation, only motion control which is a gimick that struck gold, pure luck. But apparently the fad is over so.

Horsepower is so irrelevant when it comes to determining a generation. It's always been time of release, up until the Wii whooped ass this past gen. People try to play semantics because they can't have it that the Wii was/is the market leader of a soon to be done 7th gen.

But here's what's ironic; Wii U feels more like a step backwards from the Wii than an evolution of it. An abandonment of a console that sold 100m units and 'won' the console war. An abandonment of a console that was very user friendly and economical. Which had a controller that really did revolutionize gaming.

What we get with Wii U is a hodgepodge of past Nintendo controllers with a touch screen. This isn't resonating with the market, and I remain baffled as to the mindset at Nintendo.

The problem is most Wii buyers did not thought of it as a video game console, in a video around the web a ramdom person was asked "when did you play a video game?" he answered "since the 2600", and then he was asked, "have you played the Wii?" and he said, "oh, yes, but those are not video games, those are interactive things". There are many testimonies like that around the web, Many Wii buyers never saw the we as a games console and only cared about Wii sport and Wii Fit. So the Wii u looks too much like a game console or to the average Wii buyer he does not see a reason to upgrade.

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.
