I like how people have absolutely no idea what a 'generation' is. It's measured by time people, not power.

Big fault:

Wii Processor has 729 Mhz.

And something to think: The Xbox1 has a Pentium CPU, that is not very powerful, despite its MHZ. The Wii-Processor is far more powerful. And the Xbox360 has a crippled PowerPC-Processor, to reduce cost, for example the 360-Processor is only able to work with "in-order execution". The PPC in the Wii could use "out-of-order execution": a BIG difference.

The Wii graphics processor (and its predecessor in the GC) are a new technology that has some advantages above the standard PC-GPU's used in PS3/360.

Here are some technical facts of some consoles, sorry only in german :(:

I'VE DONE IT! THE TIME MACHINE WORKED! BACK IN 2006, BITCHES!

Oh wait...this is 2008? Dammit.

Which time machine did you use? I used the classic Sixaxis + PS3 combination.

Man, this 4th dimension gaming is wacky.

We can look at the GPU for a comparison of what 'generation' games can be compared to.

This word "generation"... I do not think it means what you think it means.

Clearly, Wii doesnt have the graphic capabilities of XBox 360 or Playstation 3, and it barely surpases the graphical capabilities of last generation's graphics leader, XBox. Wii isn't last gen, but its not this gen either. Ofcourse, that doesnt take away from the huge success that Nintendo is having with the Wii.

So....... Wii is a trans-gen ???

He wanted to say that the Wii is bisexual I guess ...

We (or more accurately video game developers, analysists, etc.) have always refered to generations by power.

Umm, no. No we don't. For consoles, its iterations of a new product in the hardware development chain.
