lol no one voted for no wonder y?
friend:can i play your wi*off*
me:hellz no
ohhhhhh thats y

[brockly]

next-gen I have to say no just for the graphic and the upgrades in the system.. to have a big hard drive blue-ray hd DVD or even a DVD or to play music.

to me next-gen is a upgrade like to keeping up with the Jones.

this one is like why do I want to be a Jones. I going to be a Wii.

and that why I got it. It's not ooo you have this well I better get that.

as one says "it march to a different beat" and I'm happy for that "breath of fresh air"

so in next-gen the controller is but the system I would have to say no..


sorry if I steep on any toes..

For me, next generation means bringing something new to the console wars. Nintendo has done that in spades if you ask me.

1. New Controls
I know a lot of people know about this feature, but it is still something new for the home consoles.

2. Online Play
I have heard plenty of people saying that X-Box 360 Online features do more then the Wii's. They also complain how you need to have a friend code to fight anyone online. But that is not true. You can fight a random person by just telling the game that. It worked on the DS and it works on the Wii.

3. Graphics
I am not going to lie and say the Wii's graphics are the best, but I can say that they do get my attention more so then the PS3 or XB360 because all games now a days look so realistic, it is really getting boring. I play games to get away from the real world, and the last thing I want to play is something that reminds me of the real world.

Very detailed! Repped!

For me, "next-gen" means something new. "next-gen" doesn't always mean an "upgrade" of the previous generation, it could be worse. Graphic-wise, Wii surely doesn't have the best graphic, it stays at PS2 level, but the new remote controller is a huge step forward, huge enough to cover the poor graphic, so for me, it's considered "next-gen".

As HDTVs price drop like crazy recnetly, a lot of people can now afford HDTVs. Why do we use a HDTV? BETTER GRAPHIC!!! So in my opinion, there will a new Wii coming in the future that will support HD quality graphic. Just an educated guess
