Well this is where my name comes into play........
I dont think the wii should be considered apart of the nex gen for several reasons
1. Its tech isnt up to date. They are actually using hardware similar to gamecube. The only thing they changed was the controller.
2. The games are not up to par with its competitors graphically. There have even been games that look like they could be on the ps1. Manhunt 2 scored lower on the wii then the ps2 due to graphical lessnes (yes i said lessness)
3. Its just to much of a gimmick altogether. They just stuck a nunchuck on an outdated piece of hardware and called it next gen when it is not. Its a console that needs to try to keep up with the times in some way.
I do like the wii but it seems to be in its own category and shouldnt be involved with ps3 or 360 in any way due to the treemendous spec gap. Even nintendo has said that the wii isnt meant to compete with the ps3 or 360. I will be buying the wiibut i probably wont take it into serious planning for my gaming future.
