Do you include the wii when discussing current gen consoles?

just wondering when this gen is over will you look at the wii like a console that should be compared to PS3/360 or do you thing it's in it's own catagory.

personally i don't think its a cirrent gen console. not to say it not a system or is bad but just it not really competeing with 360/PS3. when i think of a next generation console i think of something that cleary is advanced from teh previous gen and so far most consoles have been like that except for the wii. it no secret wii isn't all that powerful hardware wise and at best it more powerful than the first xbox. with ps3 and xbox360 you see a pretty big leap forward while with wii the leap is very small and teh only real difference is the wiimote. to me wii is more of an inbetween console thats closer to the previous gen then this gen. by no mean am i saying it's bad but i do see alot of people comparing the wii to PS3/360 and i always wonder why? they are so very very different and are targeted to very different people. what do you think?

We always have been.

Besides, there are no "next-gen" consoles yet.

Its a current gen console, just like the PS3 and 360.

All 3 are current gen consoles, all three are essentially competing for sales of the same demographic, nintendo has just gone the further step by putting more focus on the casual/non-gamer market, where as Sony and Microsoft have clearly shown they are in it for the hardcore gamers market, which only make up for a small percentage of overall sales.

Yeah I guess we call them current-gen now since all three have been out for over a year. Anyways , the Wii may not be competing directly with 360/PS3 and it isn't as powerful, but its still a current-gen console because it came out around the same time period

Of course.

If not, someones going to make the ridiculous argument like

OMG TEH 360 HAS TEH RROD, IT DOESN'T COUNT

or

OMG TEH PS3 HAS TEH NO GAMES, IT DOESN'T COUNT

OMG, PS3/360 IS WINNING TEH WARZ

They only way you win is to say your weren't fighting!

Just saying that's how it comes across... as a premature damage control...

next gen or current gen has nothing to do with graphics and resolutions but the most people are not able to understand that !

I call them fanboys

I believe it should be in its own category. I mean look at it, its crap but its selling. Bravo to Nintendo. Really. And since alot of people who buy Wiis already have Ps3s or 360 thats a good accomplishment for nintendo getting into a position where its a sort of necessity instead of chooseing among the 3. But needless to say, what does it say about the Wii games when most owners need ps3s or 360s?beinss

Um, do you have any proof, are are you just making stuff up? Link?

A secession of a earlier product is a next gen product. What makes that product "next gen" is up to the company that makes said product and their reasoning for releasing a new model.

I do not consider PC or Wii in real next gen game discussions personallysaolin323

Thats because both are ahead of the 360 this gen.

Do you consider the DS to be last gen. then compared to the PSP just because of the graphics !

Yes :|

It i a current gen ystem becausae it came out to replace a last gen system. What is sohard to understand about that?

yes, it is a current gen console, wether fanboys like it or not. its kicking the "real current gen" systems asses and taking big names like guitar hero and destroy all humans.darkspineslayer

I think you'd prove your point more if you left Destroy All Humans out.

when people say the wii's graphics are awful the obviously havent played super smash bros brawl or super mario galaxy.

You know they complety had motion sensing game systems 4 years ago. OF COURSE ITS included into this category

So you'll also agree that a "last gen" system is whipping the PS3 and Xbox 360's butt for every month of it's initial release?

what spelling has suddenly come under scrutiny in forums now?Ragashahs

I wasn't referring to your spelling

I was referring to your ridiculous belief that the Wii is not a current gen console because "that's what you think". It's like me saying that a Nissan Skyline isn't a car because "that's what I think". It is what it is and your inability to understand the english language doesn't change that
