We really want to embrace that huge community of gamers out there." I wish people would stop calling Wii-U an next-gen machine. Please. Stop it. A generation is not a throwaway term used to describe whatever someone brings out next, it is specifically used to describe geometric increases in processing power. Wii-U is an Xbox 360 in a different box with a gimmicky controller. That's it. @7 "Compared to it's predecessor, it shure is a, as you described it, geometric increase in processing power. And thats all that counts to call it the next generation Nintendo hardware." I'm not talking about whether it's a new generation of Nintendo hardware, it is. But it is not a next-gen console, it's a new console and there is a difference. 'Next gen' refers to eighth generation. PS3 and Xbox 360 are seventh generation consoles, as is the Wii-U -- it is an extreme latecomer to the seventh generation. If great games appear on Wii U I doubt many will give a shit about power apart from the "my game system is more powerful than yours" crowd which consists of kids and very insecure and mentally challenged adults I think he has some point, because it will be easy to traslate 360 games to the WiiU due the current tech on the WiiU, and for hands on from various devs, they say is very easy to develop for, so they have something in common, the same will be with the next xbox for that
