Should the Wii still be counted as next gen or not?

PS. By next gen i mean the same gen as the PS3 and 360.

Ever since the Wii was announced laughter came from the haters, saying the controller is a gimmick. Later, when the graphics were revealed, compirasions between Wii and the other systems took over this forum and the entire gaming industry.Wii was a sure failure to all haters, but the result was the exact opposite. When the Wii launched, it took the world by surprise when it outsold the PS3 on a daily basis and threw the X360 off track as it stole the thunder to become the console everyone talked about. haters began with weird arguments that only time could decide, is it really a fad? is it just hype? will it's games flop? will continue to sell? All of those questions were answered in benefit to Wii and much more. haters make an argument, Wii shoves it up their behinds every. single. time. It just became clear that haters thought the Wii was just for sales, so they said sales don't matter as much as scores, but low and behold Wii has the highest rated game since the N64 days, and the new fighting game could probably take the charts as well, and what is it i'm hearing? Wii scores don't count because reviewers are lenient? WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS? haters, let's be frank here and quit this mumbo jumbo and get it clear. Lets ask the question you all want to answer.

SHOULD THE WII STILL BE COUNTED AS NEXT GEN OR NOT?!

enough of these weak arguments, enough of this unspeakable trolling, you don't even have to say why just answer the qand quit making a mockery out of yourselves so we can all rest in piece.

oh and if you say yes, then you are expected to accept any sort of Wii ownage from past, present and future while still accept that Wii is in the same standards as the rest of the competition.

NO

THe Wii Ps3 and 360 are CURRENT gen.

Why are we still on this? The wii is a CURRENT GEN SYSTEM, just like the PS3 and xbox 360. It is not power that defines what generation a system is in, but even if it was, it would still be a current gen system.

So yes, the wii is current gen. So can we drop it already?

Of course. The Wii is so awesome, you need two gens to contain it's awesomeness. Not only is the Wii current gen, it's next gen as well. The PS3 and 360 are only current gen.

:roll:

dude did you see all the threads trying to turn the scores against the Wii ever since it started owning?

it's just too much i mean they didn't even do this with the DS!

oh and BTW current =next in SW :P

Hell yes

play ssbb for this wonderful gift from the Nintendo gods i gladly accept this console lol im in love with it

no, when it's only the controller thats been radicaly changed. far too many wii games allow you to play with classic controller or GC controller anyway, defeating the purpose in my eyes and leaving you with nothing more than tweeked GCgeordie73

so by your logic, the only thing that changes from one generation to the next is just better graphics? how sad

This really won't change a thing; there will still be people who don't consider it in the same gen as the 360/PS3.DementedDragon

If a NES-Clone comes out this gen with games, it'll still be current-gen no matter what.

PS. By next gen i mean the same gen as the PS3 and 360.

Is this a serious question?

It was released during the same generation as the PS3/360, and it was Nintendo's follow-up console to their previous console (which belonged to the same generation as PS2 and the XBox.)

It is just as much a part of this "next" generation of consoles as are the 360 and PS3.

look i know all of this, but this is not why i made this thread, i just want to shut some people up, and from the looks of it, you and me pal are the ones who are shutting up :?

If sega randomly dropped out 16 bit console into the mix it would still be in this generation of consoles.darkenedsquire

yes. a generation is a timeline, not graphical horsepower, silly.

Agreed

[QUOTE="geordie73"]no, when it's only the controller thats been radicaly changed. far too many wii games allow you to play with classic controller or GC controller anyway, defeating the purpose in my eyes and leaving you with nothing more than tweeked GCogvampire

so by your logic, the only thing that changes from one generation to the next is just better graphics? how sad

yes. if we were not fussed about graphics we would all be still playing pong. or 8 bit computers etc...

but dont forget. improved AI, more complex game play, huge open worlds. why am i writting this? you know that already though. unforunately the wii is unable to do this. therefore it's last gen

No, Wii competes with the Playstation Portable.TheMysticHorse

Well, the PSP is getting its ass kicked by the DS anyway. Why add more pain?

If you meant current gen then sure.

Generation is all about timespan, nothing to do with technology.

No,the Wii2,Xbox720,and PS4 are next gen.:roll:

Wii is current gen.It stopped being next gen the moment it was released.

Since when did "next gen" get solely defined by Graphics?

And with motion control Wii's selling in greater amounts then Blu-Ray players, I fail to see why one is a gimmick and the other is not?

Regardless of what the casual gamers who call themselves hardcore in this fourm seem to think, Wii is going to outsell 360 and PS3 this gen and I am not quite sure how the industry leader cannot be considered next gen?

No,the Wii2,Xbox720,and PS4 are next gen.:roll:

naturally things would progress in graphics, but if we were just worried about graphics, then we wouldnt have the analog stick or rumble. you really need to open your mind.

regarding bolded statement: you know that not every next-gen game has those features, so i guess those games arent next-gen?

[QUOTE="l-_-l"]I don't consider it this gen. I consider it a last gen console that arrived way to late to the party of last gen.princeofshapeir
