The Wii is not a next-gen because it's too similar to the Gamecube and XBOX in terms of performance than the XBOX 360 and PS3, which are the real next-gen consoles. The Wii is all hype anyways, just for the remote control and all. Look at the games how horrible they look to X360 and PS3 games! And the latter 2 support HD, c'mon, you can't even compare. LOL!

When you play a shooter on the Xbox360 or the PS3, do you point your controller at the target you want to shoot, or do you use a stick to move a targetting reticule at your target?

When you play a shooter on the Xbox or the PS2 or the Gamecube, do you point your controller at the target you want to shoot, or do you use a stick to move a targetting reticule at your target?

The answer to both is the same, therefore the so called nextgen consoles are the same as the previous gen consoles. Who's idea was it that merely upgrading the graphics is enough reason to call it next gen?

They are still next-gens since most players are still playing on the older ones. To be considered a current gen, you have to be developing it's successor in serious development.

If you compare it to next-gen systems like the PS4 and the Xbox 720, then it isn't. Because last time I checked, the Wii is current gen.

No, it's current gen, like the other two. And even if the three were still to come out (making them next gen) the Wii would be next gen along with them. Graphics or power aren't what defines generations. If all three of the companies suddenly stopped supporting the current consoles and released the Xbox 720, PS4 and Wii 2 next month, with a tiny graphical update, then those would be the new current gen

The Wii is also current gen.It released in the same market as the 360 and PS3 near the same time period.The Wii is the successor to the Gamecube,which is last gen,making the Wii current gen.The Wii is more powerful than all the last gen systems.The Wii is current gen.Deal with it.

and yet at this moment in time, the 360 has some great FPS, the PS3 has a couple of half decent ports, and the Wii FPS either just straight up suck (Red Steel, Medal of honor) or they're vastly inferior to other versions (Call of duty).

2. Michael Moore always compare USA with Canada but you should not take what he says like the truth ! He's there for the money !

3. You haven't played the Wii long enough to appreciate its strong points. Make your friends think at your place. Maybe you're a big Jeff G. fan, who knows ?

Can the GC do motion control without adding anything to it? I thought not. This may shock you, but your opinion does not equal fact. *sigh* will fanboys like this ever learn?

It came after the previous generation of consoles, therefore it's next gen. That's what "next gen" actually means, it has nothing to do with the capabilities of the system.

Does NExt Gen mean better graphics then the last batch of systems? Or does it mean the next generation (the newest) of game consoles?

Your stupidity blinds me.

Oh my god until I saw this post, I really really thought it was, you sir have opened my eyes and changed the way I think forever!  In case you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm.  So just keep telling yourself the Wii is "last" gen, and maybe, just maybe it will come true one day.

Go see Sicko my friend, you'll see who's narrow minded lol.

1. I'm not your friend

2. Michael Moore always compare USA with Canada but you should not take what he says like the truth ! He's there for the money !

3. You haven't played the Wii long enough to appreciate its strong points. Make your friends think at your place. Maybe you're a big Jeff G. fan, who knows ?

That's not the point. It's that you're in no position as an American to say that other countries are narrow minded, when more than 80% of your presidents were considered mediocre presidents by their own people. What a democracy that is. Snipers over the white house, getting body checked at the airports, that's a totalitarian regime you got there... Anyways who cares. Peace.

Here's a lesson you should take accounting your jugement:

I told you : Do not post something that stupid with the Canadian flag avatar

That was because i'm canadian, you see ! :|

Sorry, it was a little obscure. But these same arguments have been recycled since the launch of the system. Cripe, dig up something new to b**** about.

Do people know how foolish they appear when they say that the Wii isn't part of the current generation? Well, anyways, isn't it just as easy saying that the 360 and PS3 are not part of the current generation because their controllers are what? 10 years old? I would surely imagine that control methods that have been used for the passed 10 years or so are a lot worse of an issue than graphics and power that are only from the last generation.
