Agree? Sure past gen systems can still be on the market, but they will be thereafter be known as last gen systems.

So why are 360/PS3/Wii still called next gen systems? When a game is reviewed and does well, reviewers call it "a true next gen experience" and yet refer to the PS2 as last gen. So are we somewhere in the middle lol?

I would agree yes. As soon as the next gen consoles release, they will be known as current gen, and these will be known as last gen

I believe when they say next gen, they refer to our current gen. Since PS2 still lingers I guess they feel they must make the distinction.

Well I kinda had a sinister agenda to this................. If PS3 beats 360 in global sales when the next gen is upon us, will it matter or will history remember 360 being #2 when the generation ended?

*rubs chin* I don't know.....I'd say for SW's sake that it doesn't matter once the first next-gen system arrives.

I think it's not really exactly like that, there are games like half-life 2 that are really next-gen games,

even more than some new ones. For example try to compare the xbox360 squared game (but still charming) Kameo

with the beautiful, well-designed ps2game Final Fantasy XII.

What I trying to express is: there are four years aged games that can still make you say "I can't believe that this was made two-three years ago",

and are games today that, let's say, are really disappointing.
