When does a new generation begin?

Technically when the Wii-U releases.

But seeing as it's not exactly a big leap forward in terms of technology for consoles, you could be forgiven for saying that it starts... Whenever M$ or $ony release their plataform.

When I upgrade my PC.

when the games made for it are released (?) The wii-U may be out.. but until a Next generation games releases for it it hasn't started.

Quote the exact term. Stop being a baby.

Now you're just applying your arbitrary limitations to try and prove your point. We've meandered into the "Cranler's opinions are sh*t" territory :)

Could NSMBU be done the PS3? Could ZombiU?

No, they require the GamePad.

Edit: Nintendoland applies here as well; the asymmetric touch screen motion-controlled gameplay is impossible on other systems other than wii u.

Ergo new technology, ergo even if you don't use the release date argument the wii u counts, thanks to the new technology included (gamepad).

The only reason ZombiU isn't mindblowing and Gears is to you is because you don't like nintendo, you like MS, and you don't like new control methods, you like graphics. All of these are opinions.

Looks to me like taking your eyes off the screen to look at the controller is an immersion killer, especially in a game like Zombie u.

Read through my posts, seriously.

next generation used to describe a product that has been developed using the latest technology and will probably replace an existing product http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/business-english/next-generation

Nothing there about some company whose 6 years late to the game.

According to youre rationale the 360 started a new gen then the ps 3 started another gen after that.

Just wait for the e3 the year the 720 launches, then we'll see some real next gen games.

Latest technology, like according to rumors, the Radeon HD 6xxx series DX10.1 capable, a tri core out of order execution SMP 45nm processor, a high-speed low-latency wireless controller linkup for display + motion + buttons, and replaces the Wii, an existing product in the 360/ps3/wii generation.

Meets your definition for sure.

[QUOTE="Cranler"][QUOTE="cainetao11"]No. A generation has the console manufacturers LATEST consoles in it. Notice, the plurals. This is the way it is done here. If you dont agree, that's cool. Freedom is what I defend. But maybe you would be more at home in another forum. Everyone knows there are things in SW that can be scrutinized. It doesnt revolve around your opinion, nor mine.ryaxnb

To handle the loss of gaming marketshare to the ps360.

[QUOTE="Cranler"][QUOTE="cainetao11"] the term exclusive can de defined as excluding one of a group. As in saloons during the building of the rail roads in the US excluding blacks, but allowing whites and the asian workers of said rail roads. By that logical definition, PC/360 games exclude the PS3, and therefore are exclusive. But not here in SW. that isnt the definition of exclusive here. This is how it works. Again, if you dont like it, there are other forums. And Zombie U is not on the PS3 or 360 but will be on the Wii U. A next gen title. EDIT: also, the Wii did compete directly with the PS3 and 360. Many people went to the store, and spent their money on the Wii instead of a PS3 or 360. ryaxnb

Keep thinking your 360 is the shooterbox and a comfy home for core games, everyone is going after that sweet casual money.
