Forums - Gaming - Do you consider the Wii part of this generation?

1. No console war has been decided by graphics. Ask the PS2, PS1, Wii, DS, and NES. The SNES was the only true amazing superpowerhouse that ever won, but that's even debatable.

2. Generations are strictly historical terms. They refer to periods of time and nothing else.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoles_(seventh_generation)

The 7th generation started with the DS, and it includes every system that came out after the DS, including the Vii, and the Wu, and the Gizmondo, and several others.

Alright relax guys it's just my opinion, lol

I like my graphics and I decide my generations by it. You guys think differently and thats understandable, but this is just what I think. I just want to know if I'm the only person that thinks like this or not. You don't have to all prove me wrong lol

So don't harass me to much

 



So ugly people aren't part of their generations?

Also, I know you say 'it's just your opinion', but it's not really the kind of thing that each person can decide based on their own opinions. It's like saying you don't consider George Bush the 43rd president because he was stupid. Presidentiality isn't determined by intelligence (unfortunately), and console generations are not determined by graphics.

Think however you want, but it's fallacious thinking.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Dreamcast graphics sucked compared to PS2/GC/Xbox...

Not compared to the PS2, though.

I think 2 + 2 = -7 and the Earth is flat.  Am I right?  That's what I think so I think it's right but am I right?

 Some people are far to interested on some minor matters. HMMM




Ugh.

That's just stupid. It IS part of this generation. Why would you exclude a gaming console from a generation just because its graphics aren't on par?

Graphics aren't the most important part of gaming you know.



Here we go again.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

You can consider them separate parts of the industry if you want, but a generation is a period of time.  Is a person's ugly sister not the same generation as her beautiful twin?  Sorry, but there are some things that just can't be argued.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

oh cmon my logic isn't off by that much maybe 2 + 2 = 5, thats more reasonable lol

Edit: Off to bed, so you guys are free to insult me all night, but until the morning!
