[QUOTE="Binski"]I see the wii like the PSX a more improved cube, not necessarily next gen but slightly improved upon. A great machine the wii is....But next gen Implies technology that has not been seen before or years ahead of it's predecessor. Some argue the wii is powerglove 2.0. To say the wii is next gen puts it neck and neck with the PS3 and the 360 and that clearly is not the case. Im not bashing the wii I have fun with it but Next gen get thrown around here way too much.
NotThat_basic
Do you even know how the powerglove worked???
Since when are graphics the sole determination of whether something is 'next gen' or not? Is that it? Only if the graphics are 'uber' greater than the previous system can a system be called 'next gen'? That's pretty narrow-minded, no?
The Wii is 'next gen' and it is 'neck and neck' with the PS3 and 360 - just not in the graphics category to which you seem to fixate.
The GCN played mini-discs - Wii plays DVD
The GCN did not have an online network at all - Wii already has a pretty nice dashboard when you start up
The GCN certainly did not have the VC - the Wii does
GCN 485Mhz - Wii = 729Mhz CPU
GCN 162Mhz - Wii = 243Mhz GPU
GCN 40mb - Wii = 88mb memory
Oh - and there is this little thing called 'motion sensing' that neither the GCN (nor any previous system) had... ...you're right, how could I be so blind to the fact that the Wii isn't 'next gen' when compared to the GCN. :roll:

Since it is neck and neck withe PS3/360- Lets save some mp3s on the HD--Oh Im sorry wii uses flash memory
I feel like downloading a movie on my wii--Damn I forgot no HD/ No movie downloading service---but the wii is neck and neck with the PS3/360---:roll:
Need I continue....Please the wii is no where near the PS3/360...Nintendo never claim that, yet you silly sheeps are!?
The wii is fun but don't come out your mouth making it more than it is. It's a fun machine but the PS3/360 run laps around the wii feature for feature.
