andrew_f Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) Do you think of the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii as the "next-gen" still or are you considering them as "current-gen"? Personally, I think current-gen, because the first of the generation is available and therefore in my eyes the generation of "next-gen" has begun. I just ask 'cos I am seeing so many posts and it just made me think :) edit : whoops! voted the wrong option :( can you also post why you think what you vote...

HawkMan Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 There isn't enough market saturation for them to be current gen yet. they're current gen when they stop makign Xbox and PS2 games, or when they're liek 10 % of Next gen production. and we're far away from that. Heck sony hasn't even been abel to deliver their next gen device yet, neither has nintendo :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levianthen Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 i'd say the current generation started when the 360 was let out of the cage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aids Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Everyone just refers to those three systems as next gen, so it just kinda stuck with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyarecomingforyou Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Although the jump between the last and current console generations is large PCs have been improving bit by bit for years and were already "next gen"... so I see it as a continuous transition, rather than discrete.

+vlsi0n Subscriber¹ Posted July 28, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 28, 2006 I see Xbox, GameCube, and PlayStation2 as current gen. I see Xbox360, Wii, and PlayStation3 as next[as in future] gen. If you're talking about how they look then it depends on which game; but I expect them [the games] to look better than current gen, and then in a few months [etc] them to increase in quality [etc].

Sheppard Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I see Xbox360 and Wii as current-gen, but PS3 as next-gen. Your name suits you, everyone should laugh at you for a comment like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera963 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) I mean, the consoles are different generations of eachother. The Playstation 3 is the third generation of the Playstation line and the 360 is the 2nd generation of the Xbox line.

yanowhiz Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 For the most part the Nintendo Wii is considered "next-gen," in my eyes. It's "Wii-mote" is an excellent idea, however the name needs "wii-named." The Playstation 3, in my eyes, is next-gen because of the Blue-ray, it gives itself the advantage of holding more per disc. The Xbox360, I don't think is considered next-gen. Most of the technologies it has, have been out for a while. It doesn't have much for the "wow-factor."

PL_ Veteran Posted July 30, 2006 Veteran Share Posted July 30, 2006 Everybody here saying the PS3 is the ONLY next-gen - It is near enough on par with Xbox 360! Everybody here saying the Wii is the ONLY next-gen - Explain the poor specs then They are ALL 1 generation - no matter what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 The Xbox360, Playstation 3 and Wii are all 'next gen' despite the xbox360 being already out. It is the new generation of consoles, NOT whether or not the tech is new and fancy. Generations are defined by each new totally new console in the series, all three of the consoles are new and therefore belong to the new generation. The Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube are 'current gen' but technically can be called 'last gen' because of the Xbox 360 being out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 True. Like the next gen, considering it updates of my favorite systems, It's gonna be pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
