I mean graphics are PS2 quality to say the least.

Most games that come out today are either multiplat ie ps360 exclusive.

nintendo have done nothing to persuade devs to make Wii the first port.

So why not just be honest and call it the PS2 with wiggle control.

I mean can it honestly be compared to PS360?

Because it came out past 2006, when the "next gen" started. For the record though, reask is most likely just fu*king with us, seeing as how hes been here for more then 3 days, more then long enough to know this site is 95% Wii fans.

GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Oh crap... Here we go again.

Haven't you been in the site long enough to learn that "gens" are defined chronologically, not technologically?

So by your definition the PS1 wasn't in the same gen as the N64?

The PS1 being 32 bit vs the N64's obvious 64 bit?

Also the Atari Jaguar was in the N64's generation?

not this again, this topic comes up once every month, you will at least get your 100+ replies.

generation is determined by time not horse power, if nes launched along side PS3 and Xbox360 it would still be part of the 7th gen.
