I wager a point, the Wii is not "current gen" based on my next argument.

 

Would u consider

 

+ = Current Gen?

 

 

I would say, NO

If you wager Yes, then would you agree that the 360 (slightly fater model) + a new controller would be the "next gen" (one after the PS3 and 360)?

Is the Wii the successor to the previous console? Yes.

Isnt that just the next generation of the console?

I deem the mystery solved.

If Intel released a new motherboard and chip set that is not that much faster than what they have already on the market, would you consider that the next step in Computation?

Does it phase out the previous one? If so, then yes.

Next-gen is the next generation of consoles, meaning the successors to the previous consoles... The Wii comes after the Gamecube, making it the Gamecube's successor, which also makes it current-gen.

What's the Wii, like 5 times smaller than the Xbox?

It uses a ton less energy as well, correct?  Isn't it also easier to develop for?  Your argument is rediculous.

I wouldn't consider an Xbox with a Wiimote add-on next-gen, because it wouldn't be Microsoft's next console.

What that has to do with the Wii, I honestly don't know.

The Wii is Nintendo's NEXT console, so therefore it was NEXT-gen, but is now CURRENT gen.

I think he did that to show the Wii is as powerful as the old Xbox and has a new remote with it.

Nobody actually cares whether you think the Wii is current gen or not. The Wii is current gen, which is actually a fact, not an opinion, being that it is the successor to the Nintendo console of the last gen, the Gamecube. It will become last gen only once Nintendo releases their successor to the Wii in about 5 years.

It doesn't have to earn the title thats what it is, next gen. That is a fact. The only joke here is this post.

People are still arguing over this? It's current gen, just like the 360 and PS3. That should be all there is to it.

I should make a thread that says that the 360 isn't current-gen because the controller has no motion-sensing to it and the gameplay is exactly the same :roll:

Here's my response to these posts using this fanboy logic: Since the PS3 is a multi-media player and not a video game console why are we even allowed to discuss it here. With that truth out of the way it is obvious the PS3 is not next-gen, in truth it is a DVD player that happens to play video game roms.

Xbox 360 = Current gen

PS3 = Current gen

Wii = Current gen

Anyone who can't understand this shouldn't play video games.

IMO The Wii is a great multiplayer minigame console thats alot of fun in parties or whatever, nothing more. Until i see some quality games with somewhat decent graphics thats better than a PS2 (with the exception of SMG, looks cool btw) the Wii will always be a gamecube with motion sensing controllers.  (Even then i would've preferen a more advanced gaming machine to support their Wii motes)

Technically none of the new console are "next-gen" anymore...they are all current gen...next gen only applies to a group of console that arent out yet...GC/PS2/X was last gen, this is current gen...you arent using the terms properly as their meaning intended...>_>

Its interesting to watch people dance around the question I posted without answering my question. So i will ask it AGAIN, If you wager Yes, then would you agree that the 360 (slightly faster model) + a new controller would be the "next gen" (one after the PS3 and 360)? BTW, Last Gen = Xbox and PS2 Current=PS3 and 360 next=roughly 2010-2012

Yes. The console would be the successor to the previous console, and therefore, by definition, "next." >_>

If Intel released a new motherboard and chip set that is not that much faster than what they have already on the market, would you consider that the next step in Computation?

Exactly the Wii is a joke and simply doesnt deserve the title next gen.

But it does deserve the title of "PS3 Ass Kicker!!"

Maybe you haven't noticed, but the wii is not an xbox. Sure it has similar hardware, but it also has virtual console, native support for wireless controllers, backwards compatability with the gamecube and many other systems (with the VC), Connect24, and a whole slew of other features. In no way is the wii an xbox.

Seriously does this matter in any way?

It will be supported for years to come.
That's all people need to know.

Fancy names.. It's called the "Wii"..
If it is "Current gen" it doesn't make it sound cooler, ok?
People don't buy consoles for fancy names.
