real question: sony's % of royalties aside, are blu-rays selling better in japan than here?
aaaand this is why calling the Wii U next gen is retarded.
speaking of retarded, you're infecting multiple threads with this mess, i see.
its the next iteration of hardware from nintendo; that makes it next gen, just as wii was in 2006.
this isn't complicated, but sticking to your arbitrary metric of "hardware must be at (x) point" is. even then, its a significant leap from the wii, their last system.
opiate and others have written extensively on the way new input devices create various/lateral metrics to simple #'s and how we should obviously expect this, not only of nintendo (it's been their post gamecube strategy, as clearly seen in DS/wii) but of others in the future as well, given the diminishing returns of chasing bleeding edge tech etc etc - none of this is new to most people here, man.
Your first argument is good. It makes sense. The PS3 has a good library of games, and it well should. It has been out for 6 years. The other two I don't get. Why is it a bad opinion? Why is it wrong to call Wii U next gen and what does that have to do with the price?
surprisingly, this wasn't replied to, but we did get personal insults. surprising.
