Considering the only gen that matters to me is Nintendo's, yes it is a new gen in the sense that it is far superior to the 3ds and decently superior to the wii u in power. As far as I'm concerned the hd twins don't exist, I have a pc that destroys them for the games I can't play on Nintendo.

Yes and while that may be true, no one will actually view it as a 9th gen console due to its lack of power, games and price.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.
Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

No problem on you butting in. But Nintendo being "creative" and not adhering to technological advancement and if they decide to release a console every 2 years won't make gen count move with them. What they are releasing is totally possible of being done on gen 8 so they making this system haven't unleashed a new gen. |
Except that's not true. The PS4 isn't a portable machine, doesn't have a packed-in motion controller, doesn't have HD rumble, doesn't have detachable controllers, doesn't have splitscreen multiplayer on the go, doesn't use cartridges, etc.

And using a cartridge or detaching controller, rumble or motion control are going to make games that weren't possible before? Or the splitscreen. All of that already exist and you can play today, even if you decide that they together doesn't exist, there isn't necessarily any game that would come only because of it. And that was what you were trying to push before to decide a new gen.

It's self proclaimed 9th gen consoles, that trying to compete with 8th gen consoles with the spec of 7th gen consoles and the inovation from 6th gen consoles.

And what game that's on the PS4 wouldn't be possible on the PS3, but with less fancy graphics? Please do tell me.
Detachable controllers can lead to infinite possibilities. Nintendo can release GC-themed joycons for example which would make it possible to perfectly replicate the control scheme of GC games on the Switch. This can be done for any retro console or game.
And games like Arms and 1-2 Switch are literally not possible on PS4 hardware. Splitscreen on the go doesn't already exist. In fact, splitscreen on your TV is also dying out on the PS4/X1.
And what handheld offers home console experiences on the go exactly? Switch games even get a boost in resolution when you plug it into the dock.

Then that means a sad day for a gamer. A generation above PS4 but with the graphic below PS4.

Much better graphics than the PSVita though. ;)

I actually kind of want the switch. The gamecube reminded me just how much fun Nintendo games aim for. I should buy some games for the Wii U.
