Are they like your bitter tears every time you bitch about next gen consoles because you can't afford them?

Only an unabashed troll brings up income prejudice as an argument.

Awww. There there, the mean NPDs won't be here for at least another fortnight.

Bye.

No.

 

[sprsk]

It'll never catch on. GAFers are terrified of sexual intercourse. (By "sexual intercourse", we mean speaking with a member of the opposite sex.)

But but but but

It was IBM that decided on the prefix of "hexa" rather than the proper Latin prefix of "sexa". The word "hexadecimal" is strange in that hexa is derived from the Greek έξ (hex) for "six" and decimal is derived from the Latin for "tenth".

touche, but i actually just don't think they're worth the money.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

But but but but

GAFers can't even properly communicate in english, and you expect latin and greek out of them?

 

[RyuHayate]

Because most of the series from the previous generation are getting the next-gen treatment and have yet to come out.

"Next-gen Metal Gear Solid gameplay..."

"Next-gen Final Fantasy experience..."

"The thrilling next-gen GTA..."

You get the idea, I suppose.

Your ban bet depends on it...

that's just so pepsiman doesn't have to go it alone. and i have a very small chance of losing. i tried to get a gutsier wager going via msn for the month, but there wasn't a taker. maybe next time.

It's ok, we're all doomed anyway.

lol what about the word politics

poly means many

and tics are blood sucking creatures

have you guys heard that one

have you

And this is why.

[AdmiralViscen]

its current gen now and has been for the last year., why are the media and gamers alike still going on about "Next Gen" ? next gen is PS4, Xbox720 etc...

Differentiation from Wii. It's here to stay this time around.

 

[dirtmonkey37]

i see this mentioned a lot.

does it really bother you?

Most likely not. We didn't have any interesting threads today so he felt compelled to create this one.

 

[Xisiqomelir]

Keep it up guys, this thread could be something special

I think it made it!

 

[selig]

How are we going to distinguish between Wii and PS3/360 then?

That´s exactly the reason why it´s stil used.
So that Nintendo-haters can epxress their troll-opinion.

If at all, there are current gen and new gen, now.

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

Indeed - the term 'next-gen' has established itself in the gaming-community. Heck, they are actually saying this: "...It begins when we bring the new Grand Theft Auto to the next-gen platforms". ;o

 

[Lobster]

When next-gen starts outselling PS2.

(Wii doesn't count)

I don't get it. Why the hell not?

Wii is more next gen then Ps3 because all Ps3 did was add a 1 to its name.

Hows that for a fanboy remark?

 

[TheGreatDave]

I understand making a distinction between Wii and PS3/360. But talking about a generation as if it doesn't yet exist makes little sense.

HD systems works fine for me.

 

[Sharp]

Who cares. It all means the same thing in the end.

 

[Guy Legend]

Wii is more next gen then Ps3 because all Ps3 did was add a 1 to its name.

This point should not be overlooked.

 

[lynux3]

This point should not be overlooked.

Overlooked as in it could receive an award for the worst point ever.

 

[Lobster]

This point should not be overlooked.

360 is the most next gen. It is 360 times more then an Xbox.

 

[Bluemercury]

Overlooked as in it could receive an award for the worst point ever.

 

[seat]

It's on the same level as "Wii-is-not-next-gen" trolls, so why not? After all, everyone knows that if you don't support the HD consoles, you're just bitter because you're poor.

 

[Bizarro Sun Yat-sen]

The newest console I've ever owned or spent more than ten minutes playing is an N64. For me, PS2 is next gen.

 

[Death_Born]

Are they like your bitter tears every time you bitch about next gen consoles because you can't afford them?

 

[sleeping_dragon]

we can use npd, i guess

or the systems' specifications.

 

[AniHawk]

or the systems' specifications.

Yeah, but we actually know npd sales.

 

[InterMoniker]

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Psychotext]

:lol

 

[sleeping_dragon]

Yeah, but we actually know npd sales.

we need both so that we know which one compete with what. Wii vs Ps2.

 

[AniHawk]

You're not very good at this.

 

[Lobster]

*my mistake

 

[nincompoop]

Never forget!

 

[C.Dark.DN]

the consoles aren't set in stone yet. similar to how the next generation of people to run the world (us) will be called it for years. and while we're classified as the next-generation, other generations continue to be born.

 

[AniHawk]

Never forget!

:lol

Man, you just blew my mind.

 

[HolyStar]

The next next gen should just be called "neo gen"

 

[Galactic Fork]

360 is the most next gen. It is 360 times more then an Xbox.

No no no, 360 degrees is a full circle so it's right back where the Xbox left off. It didn't go anywhere.

 

[avatar299]

How does it feel to have stuff go over your head like that?

It must be like a late summer's breeze.

 

[Lobster]

Oh shit. Better edit it out before the Microsoft Ninjas get you!..or have they already got you?

:lol

 

[Brofist]

Never forget!

:lol someone seems to have stalled in the distance.

 

[fernoca]

So I guess.. (from this thread)...
PS2 = Last Gen
Wii = Current Gen
360/PS3 = Next Gen

And if my the time the "Wii Too" is released and the 360 and PS3 never beat the current gen Wii...will be get caught in some kind of time paradox..because "Next Gen never happened" .... PS4 and Xbox 720 were released..and Wii Too (along with them)..will be the next-gen Wii..but the current gen system, but not as next gen as the other two..but it can't be current gen, because there was never a next gen to begin with.... ? ??!?!?!?!??!?!/1/1/!??1?1?1/!?1?

 

[Barnolde]

Never forget!

:lol Wii shaking a stick.

No no no, 360 degrees is a full circle so it's right back where the Xbox left off. It didn't go anywhere.

Sure it did, back to Microsoft for repair.

When PS4, Xbox 720, Wii Too hit we will be calling them next-next gen.

Hi Dragona

/sexual intercourse

 

[firex]

We can have "kiddy gen" for new consoles, and "troll gen" for new handhelds.

 

[Campster]

I've been railing against the term since it's inception, since it's been co-opted from simply being a way to differentiate hardware generations into a term that just generally means "good." "Next-Gen" gameplay, physics, graphics, etc are all sort of silly terms that don't make sense.
