The thread is just as much about how the Wii is superior to the other consoles, which judging from the games it clearly isn't.

If you want us to answer to the claims that the 360 and PS3 aren't next gen, then I'll just say that Will Wright has had his head up his own ass for quite some time, and is acting like a mid 50s Einstein of video games. In conclusion, the 360 and PS3 have had more innovation for games than the Wii's duckhunt technology ever will.

you're a tard, alot of the games are dual-releases, and the xbox360 is keeping up fine with the graphics so far with games like Grand theft auto 4, so stfu please.

As for saying they aren't "next-gen", just no. It's already been mentioned but look at sixaxis, everything going wireless, HD capabilities, that's the next generation. Otherwise we haven't made any jumps in televised media since black and white . . .

well next-gen doesn't need to be revolutionary its just the next one, right? also they are current gen now due to the fact they are already out.

Next-gen, huh?

QFTT

dont get me wrong, I own a Wii and I like it, but the games just suck, they are far too easy and simple.
I have much more fun playing on my PS3, and my 360 before the bastard broke -_-

I'm loving the plethora of facts being thrown onto the table here

/sarcasm

the PS3 has not won, yet, give it time and once sales match the 360s (which is very likely to happen, just check out the sales rates) fanboys should all shut the fuck up. nothing wrong with two equal consoles.

IT'S SO INNOVATIVE! :o
The Wii isn't pushing any limits, there's no in-depth gameplay. It's mostly "family fun". And that sickens me.

yeah and your a dumbass because the playstations have come a long way because if you want the grapics to be good you a hi def tv it's gonna out macth the 360. Just face it sonys done a better job than the xbox company anyway xbox will never beat the ps3 because theres hardly been any complaints about it.Now look at the 360 it had to be recalled because it had a ring of death in which fried the 360 and ps3 did just fine try beating ps3 now jackass.

I thought all the new consoles were next gen.

The wii has way better graphics than the gamecube. The wii is simply not HD.

No one cares anymore, prices are dropping for the PS3, soon everyone will have all three consoles.

I find it funny that you talk about sales, yet you completely disregard the Wii which is in fact leading both in terms of sales.

As for next-gen, I have to say that for me, a new "gen" implies some huge step in gaming. Last gen brought online gaming to the masses via Xbox Live. The one before that brought in 3D Polygonal games. But the only "new" thing I see this generation is the Wii-mote waggling that has everyone in a rage.

The PS3 and Xbox360, while being very fine consoles, hardly bring anything new to the table, rather refining tried and true policies. Well, besides the 360 having a record number of hardware failures, but if that is what it is to be next-gen, then I think it might be an idea to take a step back and review the situation.

Only on PS3. The xbox 360 simply doesnt have enought data storage on the disks or enough processing power to carry it out. And for anyone who is like "STFU you dont get 4d!!!" then shut up, read up on it, then come back.

We don't see 4D, thus making anything with 4D would be amazingly pointless.

I apoligise for coming off as a fanboy, as I am in fact not one of those rabid mongrels.
Anyway, like I said, I like the wii, and don't doubt its potential.
I didnt talk about the wiis sales because I assumed that everyone here already knew about them, due to them being so colossal.

In japan i think its Wii, PS3, DS, PSP, PS2 GBA (lol) 360
The japanese love their Ninty and Sony, but despise Microsoft.
American/ Japanese conflict maybe?

Well they aren't next gen anyway because this is the generation that they are in now.

I agree with Wright's general statement (that the Wii is in fact a more advanced system than the other two because it opens the experience of gaming to the entire world, really, as opposed to just a hardcore niche), but I don't agree with his final assessment. The 360 and PS3 are most certainly "next-gen" systems, allowing us to play new and exciting games in new and exciting ways. They just aren't widening the scope quite as much as Nintendo is.

Which is certainly not to say that Wii games are better (because with a few major first-party exceptions, they're largely not), but you have to put yourself in the shoes of a 4-year old or a senior citizen or a soccer mom. We take for granted our knowledge and love of games, but the sheer complexity of many of our favorite titles tends to scare off all but the most dedicated of gamers (i.e. everyone on this forum). With the Wii, this mysterious "gaming" thing that all them kids are doing is finally being unraveled. It's the first step towards taking the lid off of video gaming and letting the world at large actually begin to understand it and accept it.

And in the beginning, yes, it will suck. Tons of casual games, tons of shovelware. But soon, and largely thanks to the Wii, more and more people are going to start to allow their hobby to grow more complex. They're going to begin to understand gaming as we do, and the positive payoff will be massive. Generational and cultural gaps will close. Entire families will play together. Gaming will be recognized as a wide, mainstream activity and art form, not just a diversion of the nerd-folk. It'll be kind of like South Korea, but much less creepy.

Of course, the Wii is just a games console with fancy controls, not a miracle worker. But it's an important first step into genuinely getting everyone into the game that Sony and Microsoft just haven't taken.

Japan, the country where more GCs are sold each week than 360s.

When I can live a virtual simulator where I can do whatever the hell I please and have it feel real, then it'll be next gen.
Untill then I am quite happy pressing random buttons and have some measly wimp on screen do it for me rather than myself, the measly wimp do it.

"Yoo spen' valooable Ar-mer-i-can doll-ars and FAIL. Lolololol"
That is how I picture the Japanese take on the 260

Seriously, the damn NES had motion sensing(of course, it was the shitty powerglove but it worked). Next gen dosen't neccesarily mean "revoulutionary" it just refers to the next line of consoles made. The prettier graphics are just bonuses, really.

Retarded fanboy is retarded.

shut you retarded jackass who do you think you are to critcize me I did know it was your specal day to act like a retarded jackass.

Overused gifs make your posts more mature.

Jaketheclonetrooper, stop stirring up the pot because of console bias
Ralph, stop posting

until they make a console that plugs directly into your brain, allowing you to sense things, (aside from pain however, as this would probably result in a lawsuit) such as touch and smell, next gen isn't here yet... this being said, when this comes out the human population will probably die out over night due to extraverts releasing sex games....
