Looking at the Wii and have played it...graphics wise I do not consider it nex gen..the Wii remote is a novel idea, but honestly does not blow me away.  I honeslty cannot say its even par w/ the PS3/360.  Thoughts?

Its one of the "Next Gen" consoles but it doesn't pack "Next Gen" power.

Anyone who says the Wii isn't current-gen or "next-gen" (as some of you still say) doesn't know what a generation is...

Of course it is next gen in the truest sense, that it is offered at the current time AFTER the previous Ninty system. As far as technically next gen, no, I personally do not consider it so. If the remote really blew me away, I could let the graphics slide, but it does not.

It's not. Nintendo said the system is "new gen" - therefore the Wii is the one and only "new gen" system. Anyone who calls it "current gen", "next gen", or "whatever" is simply ignorant of Nintendo's decree.

It's really a step backwards.  The controller, it's main draw, is terrible and very unresponsive and the graphics are horrible.

If the Gamecube was Nintendo's last generation system along with the PS2 and Xbox then what does that make the Wii. Oh wait? That makes it Nintendo's next generation system. Logic? Naw....

This is the stupidest topic ever. How many times must it be stated that the term "next-gen" has nothing to do with system specs?

Also, how many times must it be stated that the PS3, X360 and Wii are all current-gen?

 

Get with the program, mate. Come back with actual knowledge, and stop wasting GameSpot's forum space.

I like to see peoples opinions.  By definition you could say the Wii is next gen.  Its like comparing a Kia to a Benz to a Porsche.

They are all vehicles true, but making a comparison is dumb.

Depends on who you ask.  If you asked anyone from reality, then yes, it's next-gen.  If you asked fanboys from system wars, then no, it's not.

And for the last two gens, where they actually started failing, they had superior graphics and power.  Why should they keep going that route, when it doesn't work.  Isn't doing something multiple time while expecting the same result the defenition of insanity?

they had superior power, but nintendo ALWAYS SCREWS UP in something, n64 cartridges, GC no online, and now WII underpowered, and they end up losing the war again and again

 

by the way.....that definition of insanity is from a movie.....cant remember which one

Technically it is, due to the innovative design and basic idea behind it. Even if it doesn't have the graphical power or processing power as the other consoles, doesn't mean it isn't 'next-gen'.
