I'm not saying that.It's a bigger fallacy to say generational shifts can only be measured in terms of graphical prowess though.
The Wii was a generational shift in terms of input mechanisms.
That's really pretty hard to deny.
What I'm saying is "the weakest has always won" falsehood/revisionist history that ignores that traditionally significant increase in power has been a major driver for new hardware adoption. People wouldn't have bought PS1s if it wasn't a major advancement from the SNES and the same goes for the PS2 last gen and the PS360 this gen.
The Wii was an exception, not the norm. It was blue ocean and expanded the pie.
