That can be said for all consoles this gen.

not for the wii u, the wii was dated just like the wii u but it's the first time that we play HD Nintendo games, still dated but it's a reall progression compared to the wii. the xbox one and ps4 are just like a new phone, very cool but then "okay". hopefully their exclusives are going to change my mindset.

Maybe they will change your mindset if you play them :)

Why is a jet faster than a car?



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

overall, games and system, I don't have that "omg this is next gen" feeling like before, now it's more like a simple progression.


I've never gotten that feeling ever with any game from the consoles I played. I come across games that I think are good or amazing but I never go "this is next gen". Graphics improve at a decent rate throughout the gens but that's not important to me. Just as long as what we can experience more it a game and what devs can do in a game keeps improving, I'll be happy. For example, No man's sky. Even if it turns out as wonderful as I think it might, I'll never get that feeling. Games are just slowly allowing me to do what I wanted from the start. It's more like "I can finally experience this" versus "oh look out how good that game looks". 

 

Well, I was playing god of war on my ps2, then I bought a ps3 with god of war 3 and after the first 10 minutes, that was mind blowing.

just like when I was playing majora's mask on my n64 and a year after, gta 3, mind blowing.

or when I was playing super mario world, and then I my mom bought a n64 with mario 64... exactly, mind blowing.

Those games may be out already, but you won't know they are there if you don't play them.

Hmmm. That must be nice to experience some games like that. I guess that I'm just more reserved or just a "not impressed often" type.
