I think that if you call this gen the HD gen, then wii is last gen. But if you call it the waggle gen, then wii is next gen.
Like there was the 16bit gen. It's mostly time periods but it can also be the technology "breakthrough" I guess you would call it.

But the Atari Jaguar is part of the 16 bit gen.... it was much more then 16 bit.

Despite the names... It's only time period.

 

yeah you're probably right.

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.

 

lolwut

If anything, it's 95% ultraviolent Sony fans that blow everything out of proportion due to their generally hateful nature.

1) Wii outsold GC & Xbox combined, and is outpacing PS2 even though it costs more than PS2 did at a comparable time. Know what that means? PS2 owners are buying Wii as an upgrade.

2) Developers have finite resources to make games. That means Wii is stealing some games from PS3/360 because it is more popular and cheaper to develop for. Examples: Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter

3) Wii, like PS3 and Xbox 360 can do something that no last generation machine could. You can say PS Eye is motion control, but it clearly wasn't something that mattered to Sony or else the feature would have been built into the PS3.

4) Nintendo released Gamecube last generation. You get one shot per generation. Saturn was with PS1/N64, and Dreamcast started the PS2 generation.

5) Next generation, when PS4 and Xbox 720 have the same horse power and novel control mechanisms, you'll hear Sony and Microsoft espouse the same justifcations Nintendo has used in using previous technology and a new feature as the justification for a new box.



People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

When there are more laws, there are more criminals.

Can anybody explain to me why the X360 is included in this gen? I mean it breaks all the time, you have to pay to use online features and you have to point with a control stick.

Oh crap... Here we go again.

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

 

With this logic than the zebo "is" a current gen console.  (that crappy console going to south america)

Yes, it is. So?

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.

So why does it come up every month?

I would say because a lot of folks reckon it is just a glorified handheld.

Just my opinion btw.

 

oh, you gave me two questions to answer, so i will answer them in order.

 

1. this topic comes up every month because if you some how exclude wii from this gen then xbox360 is the market leader, even though if wii was excluded it would make the console sales of this gen at about 50 million which is less than the PS2 era, meaning game industry has shrunk.

 

2. calling the wii a glorified handheld may be " just your opinion" but your opinion is just wrong in so many levels.

What does horsepower have to do with generation? We don't divide generations by console power, we divide them by their actual generational line.

Well vag we all have to justify our purchase in my case games have justified mine not hype.


What? That's not a rebuttle to what I said. I call shenanigans, this has to be a toke jopic, because this is too stupid to be real.
