Next Gen is Xbox 3, PS4. We are in the current gen; and if that isn't your intention, then the Wii is New Gen.

Nintendo themselves said that it isn't part of this gen. It's in a league of it's own. It's not in the graphics race like the 360 and PS3, and it was never intended to be.

the "used on pc" arguement doesnt work. pc uses a controller with gedrees of freedom instead of complete motion sensing. that being said...

its a new way to play. what sony and ms dont understand is that generatins of gaming shouldnt be divided by graphics but how you play the game. thats what makes 360 the least new gen, and wii, the most. i dont care how bad the merciless lemmings try and flame me for that, its true.

you asked how is the wii next gen and we gave you an honest answer...

So i see you wanted to ask how is the wii current gen?

Because it is Nintendo's next console for the seventh generation of consoles.

Just like the PS3 is sonys console of the seventh gen, as is the 360.

You want to know why you aren't going to start an argument, TC?

1: Your thread is hardly original. We really don't care to post the same thing billions of times like your type seem to.

2: It's a stupid question with an obvious answer. The Wii is "next-gen" because it's the successor to the Gamecube.

3: We've already admitted that the 360 and PS3 win in the graphics department....many, many, many times. We don't exactly see what you want us to say.

4: We pity you. Basing your opinion on a system on graphics. Tsk tsk.

what makes 360 next gen (i mean this gen)? is it that o so new controller? or the wonderful gameplay that couldnt be done on last gen systems? or that small and very entertainment system friendly shape it has? or the online that costs $50 a year? or the microtransactions that EA and Ubisoft and Activision are going to whore out for extra $? which one of these things is it?

the wii is next gen because the concept of the a pointer/gyroscopic controller has been integrated into games on it plus the fact that the wii has the capability of creating graphics beyond last gen's graphics. also, it is the successor to the last gen gamecube. therefore, it is next gen.

u seem to have stumble right over the sarcastic part of my post. i dont like 360 that much but i respect it as a system, surely you dont mean all those mean things you say about Wii, i just pointed out some downsides of 360 and used them in a dumb attempt to "own". i am sure that the TC and even yourself, Mr. "wii60ftw" know alllllll about.

what makes it this gen is the

visuals - the Wii's visuals top next-gen

the online(ill pay 50 $ for this any day) - The Wii has online

games that couldnt be done on the older sytems - The Wii has games that couldn't be done on the older systems as the graphics are better and the motion sensing has to be implicated

yes the new controller - That's the easiest one to make a comeback at

new hard drive - Oh well, the Wii can store game saves, channels, and VC games in its memory

and alot more reasons - That you either couldn't make up or weren't important

So yeah, the Wii is just as "current-gen" as the 360 and PS3 Which is exactly why I hate this arguement. It's pointless and annoying

what makes it this gen is the

visuals  which, beleive it or not, will be surpassed by ps3

the online(ill pay 50 $ for this any day)   for the exact same online you got last time? home is better, im sorry to say.

games that couldnt be done on the older sytems   which relates directly to visuals. so you used the same point twice.

yes the new controller  with the guide button that all 3 comtrollers have. and they switched the place of the button on the handles which were terribly placed, that feels very uncomfortable compared to the wiimote... right...

new hard drive  the original xbox had 50 000+ blocks, more than anyone will EVER need.

and alot more reasons   that you just cant think of? right...

You didn't mistype anything. You just got it all wrong. Just like the countless other people like you that do the same thing on this forum.

It's just stupidity. The fact that you don't realize that the Playstation 3, XBox360, and Wii are all Current Generation consoles.

What's even more stupid is the fact that you didn't learn from other peoples' mistakes even though this happens everyday.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Do we have better graphics or gameplay than our parents? Next-gen is exactly what it says: The generation after the previous one.

A controller alone doesn't make anything ''next gen'', it doesn't even have online yet which is something thats long been capitalised on. Raw power pushes the boundaries of content and creative potential further (I'm not even talking about eye candy). Yeah a good developer can get a lot out of very little but how many of those are around? Its more last-gen than anything but different, often does things better and is more fun to play in general (I've owned one since launch too).

They haven't done online since the NES/SNES days, they tried it but it flopped because it was the wrong time for it (only being able to connect at specific times and requiring a big add-on to do it, come on). Now there's the DS which could do things better (fine for a handheld) but the Wii still lives in the past over this. And it is new gen because Nintendo said so themselves, I'm talking about capabilities over previous generations not system release timeline.

"Next gen" as you use it is just a frame of mind. You establish your own criteria for how you view the next stage of video gaming. It doesn't have to be X amount increase in processing power or internal memory, unless you decide to only see it that way. Others may decide to see it as a new way to control a game, or enhanced online features. Nothing wrong with either opinion. Not every progression has to be an evenly spaced stair step.
