I buy xbox360 and with the new games (halo 3, gta4 ...)
my deception goes more big (gears of war, have better graphics than all new games for xbox360)

whell I recently buy the wii, and the control are diferent but the concepts or the games are a sh***. Only play to wii sports, wario smoth moves (great sh**), and zelda but this last are the same of others zelda notging new and the control not are whell with this game.

Next when can I goes to bought the ps3, I wait see anymore better, but the control not have vibration, and probably lost a little points, but think no lies how the xbox360 with the graphics.

Think wii is only for people never player to videogames and is the easy form of play, but probably when he playing to times all boring

I prefer to make my own games (models, program...) if more interesting

I remember next-gen being used since I was young for the shift from the SNES - N64. As Doug already pointed out. Although, I'm sure it was the same for 8-16bit era.

Most techniques described as "next gen" already are present-gen or even last-gen. New technologies are in the making like id-Software are doing. But using a shader well known from old games like Doom3 is not next-gen anymore. Doom3 is from August 2004. This is over 3 years old

Fully agree with this. I always find it a bit funny to hear someone arguing about some console games being next gen or not based on normalmapping or a different "special" shader. It really shouldn't be this, but instead just to explain that bundle A of consoles is newer than bundle B of consoles, therefore, I would believe the Wii to be next gen because it is the next iteration from a major console maker. But, then again, I don't really know what next-gen means anymore, as it's used to explain so many things now.

When looking at the timeline Wii clearly belongs to the next gen consoles, but the graphical output is not what you'd expect from a next gen console.
