I don't like the Xbox 360, I dislike it alot, but nevertheless it IS next-gen, Next gen means the next generation. All the current ones Gamecube/Play station 2/Xbox are now NOT Next Gen.

Also, of course the PC could wipe the floor with any system, but you can't really compare a PC and a System.

yea... i keep hearing how GREAT the xbox 360 is... "OMG OMG OMG!!!"... thats all i hear from people... but it just doesnt make sense... how can M$ have the gal to call the 360 NEXT GEN when we had the SAME graphics in PCs TWO YEARS ago...?? yea... its a pretty good deal price wise... but u can get a PC just as good for a $200-300 more than the 360... which is funny because people are paying up to $1000 for the thing on Ebay... hahaha... wow... idiots... y not just buy the computer that has so much more capabilty??... yea this might be a rant/rave and it wouldnt suprise me if it were moved into the vent section lol... but i was just wondering what u all thought.... do u consider it NEXT gen?

In my opinion the Xbox 360 is by far next generation. I saw a commercial for a game for the Xbox 360 and the graphics were amazing for a second I thought that I was watching a commercial for a television show. This new system is also going wireless for controllers (this would not be next generation except for the fact they are the only ones you can use) so that has made playing video games a lot better so you can sit in your favorite chair in the living room while playing it.

Well some PC's can destroy the 360, but that's not the point. It's a gamer's dream until PS3 which will by OK...But I'm still gonna play my 360

It's fairly obvious you haven't read the hardware specs for it. The 360 runs not one, not two, but THREE 3.2 Ghz CPUs and has a graphics card that can render something like a million polygons a second. To translate into English: Think the power of 3 high-end desktops put together for the processor and like 5 of the best PC video cards available for the 360's one vid card. The 360 allows for individual beads of sweat on people, which is something the PC has no hope for far at least another year or so. Don't get me wrong, I love my PC, but it gets owned by this.

ya he does have a point. the 360 does have some really nice technology that some PC's cannot even compare too. ya of course if you go and buy a $4,000 computer then it is going to be a lot better.

Um... wtf?

Yes, it's next gen. And I seriously have to stay out of this gaming forum. I've seen some of the dumbest threads ever in this forum because you guys are clueless about the industry.

The 360 is a next generation game console, not a next generation PC. You don't even compare the computer sector to the console sector. Overall, both are part of the same industry, but there quite different at the same time.

I don't think that Xbox 360 is the best console or even the next generation its just normal in my opinion PS3 is the next generation in gaming technology Xbox is just dull , Thats what I think about it

If that's what you think about it, then it's time to do some research. Both PS3 and the 360 have about the same amount of power. That means that every game on the PS3 is possible on the 360, and vice-versa. And the 360 is far from dull. In fact, the 1 year head start has turned into a huge benefit for the 360, as it has already acquired a good number of excellent games, not to mention 2007, which is loaded with AAA 360 games.

Its easy to tell that all the people talking bad about the Xbox 360 are PS3 fans. I think before you guys say bad things about the Xbox 360 you need to compare the hardware specs and then compare prices. After you do that you need to actually play both of them side-by-side. You will see NO difference graphics wise. Now online features are a whole different story. Xbox does and always will have the best online features. (DUH its Microsoft). So unless your a hardheaded PS3 fanboy you will see its next gen.
