lol. Now where is Skyrim, GTA4, Dead Space, Mirrors Edge and many many many other good games ?
So what amount of ports and exclusives (of which I only mentioned a few myself, there are many more, just as there are many more it didn't get) is the threshold to be accepted as of the same generation, that the GC and Dreamcast somehow passed but Wii didn't, and how did it come to be? "lol" doesn't qualify as an argument. Nice to see you sneak in yet another qualifier too, "good games", giving you room to further boost your subjective views as some kind of standard and dismiss any other's.
As for trying to state the obvious, ie, that Wii was underpowered so some games couldn't be ported (though others could, we were told MW couldn't be but then it was proven false), it has nothing to do with my points and is something nobody has disputed so I don't know why you bring it up. Not that it was the only reason it lacked support of course (again, see the GC, Dreamcast, etc).
i agree. current technology hd console that released after current hd consoles.
Just as PCs are only as good as consoles when we look at certain ports and how they don't offer significant improvements, because we all know games don't have anything to do with financials and if the systems were actually more capable any developer could essentially remake a port with all new jaw dropping visuals (not to mention exclusives, obviously Wasteland 2 should look like current console FMV if PCs were totally powerful, so the truth must be they aren't!). I mean, why wouldn't they, it would be so rad!
Though, again, nobody's saying WiiU is really a huge technological leap, or as huge as the next PS and Xbox (not saying it's not either, it's quite the unknown quantity, especially the latter). Just that regardless if it is or isn't, that's not what qualifies the next/current/last gen monicker. Because it doesn't. And even Perkel here agrees, and says it's the games/support/whatever else that matters (so essentially the time frame, because obviously the PS2 had tons of support, but in its time, not now, so it was current then, not now), though he then chooses to only qualify the games he wants and pretend everything else doesn't matter...
