Capcom has said in its annual report that it doesn’t believe that the next generation will start with Wii U. The report says that time is required before the next generation console cycle begins in earnest. It appears as though the developer behind critically acclaimed franchises such as Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter, doesn’t necessarily think that Wii U is a next generation console.
“Although Nintendo will release the new game console Wii U and the market will be continue to be invigorated by the increase of DLC, time is required before the next generation console cycle begins in earnest.”
I would love to see a next generation console that doesn’t come from nintendo. Also
Begin the hate…
Well, while I don’t fully agree with Capcom, they have a point: WiiU’s specs apparently will be closer to PS3/360 than to PS4/720, and since generations in consoles are measured by technology, specs play a big role (not the only one though, and there’s where I don’t agree with them), so it is reasonable, from a certain point of view, that WiiU won’t start the next generation.
Considering we know JACK ALL about the next Sony or Microsoft console, and only scraps of hints from developers on the WiiU, this post is total speculation and should not be considered valid.
Capcom probably knows a lot more than we do about the next Sony and Microsoft machines. So yeah, it should be considered valid…
Exactly my thoughts
Tip: Console gens are measured by time, not technology. Specs mean absolutely nothing.
This, which is why I think they just mean that the next generation doesn’t just suddenly start on Wii U launch day, it’s just more of a transition.
This.
Back then, when generation were measured by bits, Jaguar and N64 had 64 bits and Playstation had only 32. Was it in a different generation? I’m affraid not.
But what capcom said makes sense. This happened this generation too, the first 360 games weren’t “new generation”. The leap will happen sometime next year and WiiU will be there.
Completely agree with Victory ^
Exactly what i think…. but power alone means nothing…
Just look at this:
http://www.lensoftruth.com/
The real PS3 vs Xbox 360, in truth or real time situations (whatever u like), FACT is that most games are better looking and with better on Xbox 360 (but we all knon that PS3 is overall stronger on paper than Xbox360).
But again, i prefer PS3… why? better exclusives (IMO)…. NHNGH!
“typo” :S….
I meant ofc “better frame rates on Xbox 360”
i agree in a sense. the wiiu WILL NOT BE AS POWEFULL as the 720 and ps4 .
probably about half as powerfull.
that being said . nintendo is nintendo it does its own thing and has its own exclusive franchises.
720 vs ps4 will struggle against each other for title of ‘graphics console’
whilst the wiiu will just fly off as the ‘cheap less powerfull console which s innovative and has awesome exclusives like zelda and mario ‘ .
i am not dissapointed with this news.
in all honesty i am going to buy either a 720 or a ps4 anyway.
but i will always love my wiiu the most :).
yes Aelous we know it wont be as powerfull as a ps4 or 720 !!!! WE KNOW ALREADY!!! it will just do what the wii did this gen but in HD with hopefully much less shovelware and more epic games.
wiiu will inevitably sell the most . but its not comparable to the next box and playstation .
is the 3ds a ‘GEN’ behind the vita ??? no . the vita calnt display 3d and the vita and 3ds are in exactly the same generation . fact .
You’re telling me that Microsoft and Sony will be selling consoles that are twice as powerful Wii U at a reasonable price, and at a profit? I highly doubt the 360 and PS3 will be twice as powerful as the Wii U.
Of course, you mean the next Xbox and Playstation, not PS3 and 360
“Although Nintendo will release the new game console Wii U and the market will be continue to be invigorated by the increase of DLC, time is required before the next generation console cycle begins in earnest.”
Let’s read this part by part to understand this:
“Although Nintendo will release the new game console”
“time is required”
“before”
“the next generation console cycle”
“begins in earnest.”
In others words, Wii U is a next-generation, but, the next cycle will take some time before being taken seriously, where the hell is written that Wii U isn’t next-gen?
yeh this was said by EA. all this means is simply this .
for now , the wiiu will recieve cross platform games from 360 and ps3 .
when the 720 and ps4 are out , it will recieve graphically scaled down version on those ‘next gen’ games.
this is all this means .
nintendo is doing their own unique thing and i like that .
when a new IP or game is anounced on 720 , it may come to wiiu etc etc .
but for now the wiiu will get ps3 and 360 ports with extra features.
You… Need to sit down and be quiet, you appear to have no idea what you’re talking about.
what you fuking prick ??? read my comment again and see that it makes perfect sense and is the truth .
you’r the one who doesnt know shit.
listen . the ‘next gen’ doesnt start with wiiu . because it starts when all three ‘next gen’ consoles are released. this is when developer’s will start making totaly new ‘next gen’ ip’s .
for now the wiiu is a ps3 with a gamepad and exclusives .
in a couple of years . it will have games that appear on 720 and ps4 but not on 360 and ps3 , comprende idiot ???
If you looked a little further down you’d see me defending the WiiU as a next gen console myself.
What I meant was, you have no comprehension of how games and IPs are developed, nor do you know anything of Sony or Microsoft’s next consoles (nor does anyone), and so you are not at liberty to discuss such matters. So, yes, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
stfu you gimp. i was simply making acurate predictions.
the wiiu will most likely recieve graphically scaled down versions of ps4 and 720 cross platform games .
you seem to be the one who doesnt have a fucking clue about anything.
Considering you, and everyone else, lack knowledgeof the next Sony and Microsoftconsoles, as well as how well the WiiU will performgraphically in comparison, you’re in a positionwhere you have noevidence to back upyour point,so indeed, you haven’tgot a fuckingclue yourself.
we are getting nowhere here.
the wiiu will inevtiably recieve scaled down corss platform games. i highly doubt sony are going to puta gaming pc out for a console. so the wiiu will inevitably be powerfull enough to handle ‘graphicaly scaled down’ cross platformers.
the only way it will not be able to . is if sony and microsoft reinvent gaming with $800 giga consoles.
i see a $350 microsoft console which is barely twice as powerfull as wiiu myself. .
Why is it so fucking hard for you to grasp the idea that you have NO CLUE what Sony and Microsoft’s next consoles are going to be like in terms of power and price? You have NO BASIS for these claims other than pure speculation, and that’s why you need to shut up, along with everyone else who tries comparing them. Until we hear some official word of the other next gen offerings and see them in action, and also see the WiiU utilised to its fullest, NO ONE is in ANY position to make ANY claims about how the consoles will compare.
The Wii U is next gen for Nintendo, PS4 is next gen for Sony, and Xbox720 is next gen for microsoft. comprende you all!
clap
Whoa now, kid. No need to use language and name-calling in your post. Don’t be immature. Yes, this is the internet, but you must remain civilized.
What are you talking about? What he said that’s wrong? I think that you probably have no idea of what he said.
Exatamente, muitas pessoas (ou Trolls) estão interpretando erroneamente o que foi falado.
C senior .
Shh…don’t bring logic to MyNintendoNews, you’re going to scare the trolls away
sikr , you have completely misinterpretated this article and dumped a negative turd on us.
capcom is saying , the wiiu will become more next gen once the 720 and ps4 are out basically . ”it begins in ernest” when those other 2 come out .
the wiiu is next gen whether anybody likes it or not. its a fact . obviously capcom knows that . they are just implying the wiiu is basicaly current gen for the next year and a half .
Real talk
bttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyufDxxWIsM
He obviously likes the wiimote up his ass just like you is that the message your trying to get across sir?
…… I wasted a minute of my life.
well, it is basically on par with ps3 and 360
a bit better. once they unlock the potential of the new GPU and RAM i am guessing it will look a lot nicer.
sorta how like the wii outpeforms the gamecube and ps2 . its not drastically better , but games like mario galaxy and skyward sword look a LOT better than what came on ps2 and gamecube . so thats the small leap i am guessing.
so the wiiu will just be graphically a bit better than ps3 and 360 .
but its not about its specs. its about the fact you can play away from the tv its about nintendo games in HD with proper internet features and so forth .
and if it turns out to be $250 . that is an absolout steal .
its not a bad thing that its comparable to ps3 maybe a bit better. after all , the ps3 has amazing graphics which have barely been tapped into its full potential .
end result = buy a wiiu . and then choose between a ps4 or a 720 to acompany it.
no i think ill just get a wii u. untill maybe a couple of years after the ps4 720 come out.
You comparing LAUNCH to Mastered Console
*Looks at 360 launch titles* *throws up* god that was bad…lets look at the playst-*throws up again*
Looks at 3DS launch titles*throws up* launch titles prove NOTHING about consoles! I bought a 3DS even with the horrid launch games and look how great it turned out. So quite being an ignorant fanboy and respect the fact that ps3 and 360 are not bad consoles just because they are not nintendo consoles.
Another post from sickr is yet another loss for reading comprehension. Baffling.
And idiots/trolls takes it…
Not surprising.
And psyco blind fanboys. Its like sickr wants it to happen for views.
Nintendo really need to be like Sony and Microsoft, love Nintendo, but we need DLC, online multiplayer, it’s what makes people buy games for the lasting appeal.
DLC and online multiplayer have been available on Nintendo consoles for a while..
Well theyre already doing DLC, and bigger online presence than other companies. They just need first party multiplayer, but, that might put other companies to shame xD
Id love to see a StarFox multiplayer, or a Metroid multiplayer, both are easy target to make a multiplayer for, but also the only games that could really do online multiplayer
In all my years of gaming, the games I return to very rarely have online multiplayer or DLC. DLC cheapens a game’s creation in my opinion, and online multiplayer isn’t always appropriate, certainly not for many Nintendo games.
Mario Kart Wii had DLC
Pokemon had DLC
Super Smash Bros. Brawl has DLC
All Three Has Onle
Brawl doesn’t have DLC.
Mario Kart Wii had DLC!? Dafuq, where?! Haha
Mario kart wii dlc wat
Not everyone, I prefer to have a multiplayer game where I can get together with my friends instead of being alone in my house. I do agree on the DLC though,it would be awesome if they gave some DLC for the new Super Smash Brothers.
Gotta sorta agree
Hey there tiger :D
I think a lot of people seem to be confused by what “next generation” means. It has nothing to do with power, but with time. If I had a son, and he wasn’t as skilled as me, that wouldn’t make him not a part of the next generation. Me having a daughter later who IS more skilled than me doesn’t suddenly then start the next generation. Both of my children would be part of the next generation and my son would begin it.
The Wii U is the first next gen console.
How can you compare having children to a next gen console?… -____-”
Because both have generations.
Humans does operate the same way as console…
Both humans and consoles have generations. The only difference is the length of time.
His metaphor was…weird, but i get what he’s saying. Take the 360 for example, came out, reasonably impressive tech, games didnt look that great, besides from being in HD. PS3 came out, had better hardware, better graphics were starting to unfold, and the 360 was able to handle it. Just because it comes out first, doesnt mean it wont be next gen, but it’ll hold its own when the systems with “better” (-__-‘) hardware come out
My metaphor makes a lot of sense really. People think generation relates to power, when it doesn’t have to at all. My point was the next human generation doesn’t have to be more “powerful” than the current one to be considered “next gen”. The next consoles do not have to be drastically more powerful, if at all, to be considered part of the next generation.
It does make sense, ot was just weird :p but i know what you mean, the Wii was 7th gen, because it was in the 7th generation
Exactly.
Well yeah, otherwise it wouldve started when the 3DS and Vita came out, Capcom -.-
Bet trolls will read the title and go “HURRNURR INFURREURRRRR SIISTUUMMM”.
Handheld =/= Console
The next gen systems did in fact start with the 3DS and Vita… for the handheld market.
Its still the next generation, but i know what you’re getting at
This is a gross misquote. The intention of the statement is to say, “the next generation won’t truly begin until there are more next gen offerings.” The WiiU is a next-gen console, but it’s appearance does not indicate the start of the next generation. That is what is meant.
exactly. sikr should be ashamed of him self for misinterpretating something so badly .
what you said is correct.
so when a cod game (for example) comes to wiu in 5 years time . has better graphics than cod of today and more features etc etc and is on the other platforms . that doesnt count as next gen ??? well , yeh actualy it does . XD .
Too bad he has a trouble with reading comprehension. There are lots of misquoted or out of context articles, it’s not even funny. Trolls seems to like them, though.
I agree, the Wii U doesn’t feel next gen.
I guess u have played it right?
the wiiu does feel next gen. the gamepad is nothing short of ingenius.
the wiiu is an affordable HD console with a gamepad and killer exlusives,
its not trying to be a gaming pc .
He makes that idiotic statement, then assumes consumers just love DLC. I guess he’d think so because it’s easy money for developers.
Wii U is about creating the next interactive gaming environment, not about better graphics and bigger bucks. That’s why it’s next gen.
Okay so now I understand the next-gen cycle idea. While Wii U is, of course, the predecessor to Wii, and is next gen, Capcom thinks that the next gen “cycle” begins either 1. when the others release systems or 2. after some made up amount of time.
Well, it still fits my definition of an idiotic statement.
Reblogged this on drndark.
fuck you
Guys don’t take that quote too seriously. It could mean anything. To me I think what he meant was that if the all 3 consoles are released already then the actual “next-gen” will start.
Thats exactly what he meant, if people just read the words underneath the, to be frank, misleading title
DLC? Ninty has that.
“Time is required”? Well duh the current gen is still alive and kicking and the Wii U is going to be released at the last quarter of the year not to mention Sony and MS yet to revealed theirs. And devs still has to be very familiar with the hardware to take full advantage of it What’s a generation with only 1 console?
i think you misunderstood what he(capcom) said, he means that the launch of the wii U isn`t the start of the next gen. next gen begins when next gen games are in the market.
True. And next gen games needs “Time”.
I don’t understand what he’s trying to say… In the past, next generation consoles were marked simply for better graphics and more power, until the Nintendo Wii came with a new form of gameplay over more power. Now, Nintendo is not only making yet another new form of gameplay never seen before, but also is making the new console more powerful than the current generation! What does it take to Capcom see a console as a next generation?
Wii U is not a next gen console. Sick of people saying it is. It is around the same specs as the xbox and ps3… which are current!
You don’t need higher specs for a next generation console.
you kinda do.
The PS2 was less powerful than the Gamecube. I believe.
And we are SICK of you saying you’re a man when everyone knows you have a mangina! StFU asshole!
neither the xbox720 or ps4 will have a significant leap of specs lile previous gen, it won’t be affordable
I believe that even though they may not they will be much better then the Wii U. I can see what happened with the Wii happening again. Hard core gamers will go for the PS4 and xbox 720 and then the soft core gamers will go for the Wii U and will be ridiculed for doing so.
Just like when your mom got a boob job and everyone wanted to bang her but then they realized she still had those Arby’s Ham style lips dangling between her legs and everyone was disappointed and got ridiculed.
So you’re one of those “next-gen are all about realistic graphics”. In a sense you’re right but you’re kinda missing the point. And this is Nintendo we’re talking about. :|
Yes but also about power. I do believe features add to this but I think that it’s the last important thing.
so you would be happy to have the ps3, wii and xbox 360 still with joysticks or only d pads and 2 buttons? features are just as important as power if not way more.
The 360 and the WiiU’s launch are playong out almost identical. Slightly better looking games, which were mostly ps2 games, besides some pretty poor exclusives, console alot of people bashed. Only difference was HD, which was a sneaky way of making it look better, but in standard def, not too impressive
WiiU is just the same… But with new inferface, and good games
the ps3 and 360 dont have asymetric gamepad controllers .
its like saying the 3ds is a gen behind vita . U MAD ????
the 3ds is in the same gen as vita. and is a much better console regardless of graphics. proof that graphics dont define a generational leap .
They might not have the controllers but to be honest I can see using the game pad getting boring. I have been put off the Wii U in recent weeks. I would rather own a console which has the same specs as the Wii U, cheaper and without the gamepad. Since the Wii it just feels like when I buy a Nintendo console I shouldn’t tell people because it’s like a childish console, even if it’s not it feels that way. It took me months to tell my friends I had a 3DS and I could see the same happening with the Wii U. Sorry but I will not be buying a Wii U or any other Nintendo consoles until they create a truly NEXT GEN console.
It’s more powerful, fact.
That may be but not by far and when the true next gen consoles come out it’ll be fucked won’t it. You’ll all regret buying it.
Dual analog is 6th gen so i guess that makes the playbox 6th gen
Seems to me he’s saying that even though the Wii U is releasing this year, we won’t see next Gen game til around a year into the system life cycle. Please stop mixing the meaning of developers quote, no where in this quote did he say what the headline said, 2 please stop copying and pasting other site cause I read the same heading and post word for word on another 2nd ago
ouch! i wonder how many more developers feel this way?
EVERY DEVELOPER KNOWS THAT HAHAHAHAHA WIIU IS PIECE OF SHIT YOU LOST!
Everyone look, we got a badass over here!
The only piece of shit was the one I pulled out of your mom’s ass when I was banging her in the butt. I swear she likes anal, but as I penetrated her rectum I pulled out a PINTO BEAN on the tip of my piece…dirty bitch! Complete turn-off.
Blimey, that’s rather a gross misinterpretation of what that quote said. It means the next generation will be only fully under way when console launch periods are over and done with.
Totally innocuous and innocent.
Umm they aren’t saying WiiU isn’t next gen, they are saying don’t expect next gen material (graphics wise and such) to start as WiiU is released. When the xbox360 released before everything else with games that matched ps2/GameCube/Xbox titles, I wouldn’t of said those games were next gen material.
THIS. EVERYONE READ THIS POST.
You hit it Right on the nail. People can’t handle the truth that Nintendo has shaken up the gaming world again, next Gen starts when they figure out the culture of the system to tip into it’s true power.
Wii u will start the 8th gen regardless of power if the wii received cod
and 2k every other game was possible also just like the sixth and fifth gen the wiimote and the wii itself were improvements over the sixth gen the playbox only had better graphics with gcube gplay the gpad is the future of dual
analog the 8th gen controller unless sonysoft brings something equal or better or copies they probably won’t stand a chance
)
so i say the same thing above. and you say ‘sit down and shit up’ .
you are fukking dick bro .
Your post was full of guesses and things that couldn’t possibly be known, especially in regards to future development. This post refers to the past with solid hard facts.
Definitely not the same thing.
the wiiu will recieve watered down versions of ps4 and 720 games . this is almost a fact.
fifa 15 , cod 6 , need for speed future poop , blah blah blah . these sort of games that will not be released on 360 and ps3 . but WILL be released on wiiu . thats all i am saying. so its at the point when wiiu recieves those games and watered down new ip’s .
the wiiu becomes next gen , or ‘mid gen’ if you want to be a real ass hole about it .
Nintendo can easily match those losers in power gcube and 64 as long as it can power third party games there will be trouble but going by the past even with equal power i don’t see them with Sony’s level of support the n gets neglected but if they ever get 70% microstationers will still say its for kids people should respect the tru game kings cuz its not the fony boxers the first nintendo heavy hitter will give everyone an idea of where the power is at one more week
‘
Also, your grammar and spelling are a horrific sight to behold.
real grown up of you . i speed type at you in disgust and you start pointing my grammar out ??? *Aplause *
Merely stating facts, which is a solid step up from your wild predictions. And it doesn’t take that much effort to have a decent sense of grammar and spelling in your posts, you might spend an extra 30 seconds typing them, you poor soul.
Not to mention your awful writing abilities are seen in all of your posts without fail. Speed typing is no excuse, I’m typing this on a phone and still managing to be relatively fast AND grammatically correct.
oh woopty fucking doo sir , here is a degree to shove up your ring piece .
listen , stop acting like you know anything more than i do .
the wiiu will recieve graphicaly scaled down version’s of 720 and ps4 / pc cross platform games.
i dont see why that is so hard to understand.
i am not saying it will get them all. but it will get some . and some suprising ones.
Why is it so fucking hard for you to grasp the idea that you have NO CLUE what Sony and Microsoft’s next consoles are going to be like in terms of power and price? You have NO BASIS for these claims other than pure speculation, and that’s why you need to shut up, along with everyone else who tries comparing them. Until we hear some official word of the other next gen offerings and see them in action, and also see the WiiU utilised to its fullest, NO ONE is in ANY position to make ANY claims about how the consoles will compare.
Yes this is a C+P from above, because you keep harping on the same fucking point with no evidence.
naaaaah you are full of crap bro.
the gap isnt gunna be so big. plus the wiiu has great architecture than anything that is on a pc today can be shoved onto a wiiu and downgraded.
similar story between wii ps4 and 720 i am ACURATELY guessing.
stop replying to me now. i am right . and you will burn for what you have said. your pessemism is diesheartening to say the least.
You’rejusttoothicktodealwith…I’mnoreplyinganymoreforTHATreason,noother.
Accurately is not the right word for it but that scenario does seem probable.
It starts when all 3 consoles are released.
A generation starts when the first console is released.
It’ll pick off from the Wii U, but actually start when other consoles are released.
You do realise what you just wrote conflicts with itself?
Theoretically, yes. Practically, no. You get more sales if you sell a game as a multiplatform title, and that’s what Capcom does.
What does that have to do with when a generation begins?
capcom will wait for 720 and ps4 before releasing next gen multi plats.
He seemed to be responding to me so I didn’t understand what he’d say that as a response to what I said.
you list james willshee.
will she blow ??? i dont know , ask jimmy wilshee .
This makes no sense.
It starts when a next-gen console is launched. What if, just for example, Valve decides to launch a console in late 2014? When this generation will start?
But we know developer wont release “next gen” titles until theres at least the 720 is out, because they know not everyone will want to buy a WiiU, and they also know not everyone is going to buy a 720 or a ps4, they need to have a broad market, and for a company like Capcom, who are a “multiplatform” company, they NEED these other systems out too, or they wont make a decent profit.
We will however see next gen title, in the form of WiiU exclusives.
Yes, but, Nintendo doesn’t have to wait anything, and it can release a “next-gen” games even at launch. So next-gen NEEDS to start this November :D
And they are :p as an early WiiU game, Pikmin 3 looks fanstastic, everything moves about, all the Pikmin move in their own pattern, it’s beautiful, but omce we see Retros game, or a Zelda, Mario, Star Fox or Metroid, then people will starting eating their own words
They’ve said what we all know, wii u isn’t really next gen, in fact I’d say it’s just nintendo finally catching up to the current gen.
Oh, you’d say, would you? Please, show me your WiiU dev kit and your apparent proof and undeniable knowledge that the console is only as powerful as current competition.
Which, might I add, has nothing to do with generations. Once the hardware receives an update like this, it marks a new generation. This is Nintendo’s latest generation console, and as such it will be grouped in with the next Sony and Microsoft offering, regardless of how powerful it is in comparison.
Somewhat agree but the next gen is taking too long to get started
They aren’t saying that the Wii U isn’t a next gen console, just that the next gen won’t start with the release of the Wii U because of the fact the current gen is still booming and not dead yet.
Exactly. The only part of the comment section that’s good is that we found out that trolls have problems reading anything that isn’t in big bold letters.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Is he playing with his butt?
Even Capcom… Nintendo’s good friend thinks wiiU is CURRENT GEN
TAA TAAA fanboys. cant wait for durango and Orbis
You know those words underneath the big title? Yeah, if you read them, more often than you think, they actually say something different to the title! I know i know, calm down, its pretty mind blowing
BURNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111ONEONEELVEN
What? It’s sort of not surprising…
Sickr you really have to be careful with your title posts. The post does not justify the title. He also did not outright say that the next-gen does not start with Wii U. It could mean anything.
I agree.
It could mean they think Wii U is next gen, but since it will be the only one for a while the cycle will start later.
But yeah this title is troll/hater bait.
I agree with tem, Atari isn’t a next-gen console.
Cant tell if inbred or trolling?
So many people here who cant READ. Distracted by BIG BOLD LETTERS, and not actually reading th whole story *rolls eyes*
and Sickr, i know the purpose of a headline, and i know you want people to click on the article, but dear god, please stop making them sound completely different. You say you’re sorry about the troll problem but actually feed them with misleading headlines like this. I know people are supposed to read the actually article, but unfortunatly we live in a world full of morons.
where abouts does it say wiiu isnt next gen?
That’s a really bold statement by a company that is working on a game that is on a Nintendo system (Monster Hunter.), I bet we’ll see Nintendo and Capcom have relationship issues because of this statement. I’d love to see the 7th gen all over again, but the Universe doesn’t allow that, they already foiled any plans by having the economy in the gutter, and having Sony lose a ton of money, I’m betting all those ”Windows 8 will ruin PC gaming.” is going to be true and Microsoft will also get a blow, and hey, maybe we’ll get equal consoles for once, so we can enjoy games together once more, unless one of the 3 starts an advert campaign much like the one by SEGA…
For anyone asking me if I read that lower part, I did. I just think Nintendo wouldn’t like to receive less games just because they have to wait for the competition. That’s like having an event for Satoru Iwata, and then having to wait on Steve Ballmer and Kazuo Hirai.
Sickr has the reading comprehension of a complete dolt.
i want to kick him in the nuts for posting this.
its the biggest misinterpretation of 2012. even my 12 year old brother understands what the capcom guy is trying to say.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.SEE SHITENDO FOOLS?NINTENDO IS PLAYING WITH U SO THAT THEY CAN TAKE YOUR MONEY HAHHAHAHAHHAHA AHAHAHAHAHA!
Wow…that’s all you got?
PS4 ftw. It will destroy your Xbox 720.
“So they can take your money?”
Bro, you keep confusing Nintendo with Microsoft.
wiiu is an old gen console
720 is the next Dreamcast. Pity Xbox has no good exclusives and you pay for online. Stupid drone.
Are you f*cking serious? How does the 360 not have good exclusives, sure it only has a few, but they are all really good games. Halo comes to mind, it has a larger fanbase then some ofthose ps3 exclusives! So quite being a blind fanboy and accept that other consoles have good games too. Consoles aren’t spouses, you don’t have to protect it with your life. Geez people like you make me sick. Idiot blind fanboy, that’s all you are, have fun limiting your fun by blindly hating the other consoles.
Just because the graphics are only slightly better doesn’t mean that it isn’t next gen.
I’m pretty sure every company is out to get your money….. Its called business. Sorry to pop your bubble.
……A business wanting consumers money like every other business in existence would want? BASTARDS. -___-
Current gen specs don’t equate to next generation. Wii U is mid-generation, at best.
Generations aren’t determined by power.
Then im calling the 360 mid-generation. Pathetic disk storage, inferior processor and GPU, smaller harddrive, programmed to break (RRoD), controllers that use replaceable batteries, its was inferior to the ps3 in EVERY way. Oh, it still out the ps3. And the Wii still outsold them both (obviously not together).
WiiU IS a next gen system, because its part of the NEXT GENERATION. In fact, by your definition, we’re probably in the 9th-10th generation seeing as PC’s are FAR superior graphically. Get a grip mate, its next gen
Terrible specs doesn’t make your machine next generation regardless of when it comes out. It is only next-gen by release date, not practice.
360 is irrelevant to discussion. Because you’ve spouted nothing but blatant fanboy bias. You don’t even own a 360, because half the shit you say is just that – bullshit.
Wii U is a piece of crap, just like the Wii.
I OWNED a 360, but it was shite, and everything i said was true.
And fanboy bias? Your ENTIRE being is based on fanboy bais and hate towards Nintendo.
He calls people fanboys and he hates on wii u. Seriously nothing between the ears.
360 has more RAM, better GPU, better online network, and an established userbase. Nor was it “programmed to RROD”. You’re a fucking idiot, and a terrible, terrible liar. That in itself makes you a fanboy.
In fact the “programmed to RROD” part alone is a testament to how much of a bullshitter you are. That and the “beating GoW 3 in 5 hours” lie.
His statements about the 360, except for the RROD comment, are totally accurate though. By the definition suggested, it stands as a “mid-gen” console when compared to the PS3, and the Wii even lower than it somehow.
This is why consoles are not placed in generations in terms of power, or each console would fit into its own generation, because they are all of different powers and have different support and services. Instead, they’re grouped by when they’re released. So the WiiU could be no more powerful than a 360, but it would still be considered next-gen.
I’m not arguing specs with you, because fact is we don’t truly know what power the WiiU is capable of, we have no basis of comparison from Sony or Microsoft’s next gen consoles since they have had no official announcement, and I maintain that games are about the fun-factor, and specs as they stand deliver immense amounts of fun and don’t really need improving by vast amounts as most people seem to be hoping.
Exactly!!You don’t have a Wii u so all that your saying is “but blatant fanboy bias” too!
One doesn’t actually need one to -know- it sucks. Look at what’s shown, look at what’s being done, look at what’s on paper. Not next gen.
The wii murdered the 7th gen the u will kick off and murder the 8th gen it’s the sonybox killa the n has this shit on lock undefeated from now on u fonyoff fans should ask for next gen controller instead of 6th gen pos it’s a shame 2012 and all those losers can do is give you overpriced graphics with a whack ass gcube controller from 2000 and people crave that booty shite totally pathetic
He’s not even saying Wii U isn’t next gen, he’s just saying that the next gen (as in, a bulge in sales and new games) probably won’t be started by it. Which is true, it will be a great console but the Wii U won’t really get started until either the PS4 or Xbox 720 comes along.
Haha, what will you say now, fanboys? Even someone who supports Nintendo says the WiiU isn’t next gen. This is too awesome, really. Not because the WiiU isn’t being considered as next gen, but because someone you fanboys “trusted” made you shut up. I love Capcom. I really do.
Or, if you actually read and comprehend what is meant (which is posted a million times in the comments), you’d realise the author of this article fucked up somewhat.
Sickr just fails at reading comprehension.
And you too.

In my opinion it wont be next gen until the other two are released. Wii U is like the from 1.0 to1.5 update to this gen ya know rather then it being1.0 to 2.0 of the next gen. Hate all you want.
Misleading article is misleading.
The 360 was released before the Wii and PS3 came out, and current gen gaming didn’t really pick up until they were released (many 360 games being upscaled PS2 games).
They are right, the next generation gaming cycle will not start properly until at least one other console comes out, but it doesn’t mean the Wii U will be any less relevant.
Why do we still care what “gen” it is? What a stupid concept. I just want cool games.
Coming from the same dickheads that ruined Resident Evil (Apart from Revelations.. oddly enough THAT is on a next gen handheld console.), forced people to pay up money to unlock on disc DLC and pretty much fucking up in general…
Yeah I don’t trust Capcom anymore.
I’m guessing what Capcom are saying is that Next-Gen won’t fully begin until the next Playstation and Xbox are released worldwide.
But if Capcom are trying to say Wii U isn’t Next-Gen and that goes for any other company or person then that’s rubbish as it isn’t all about specs it’s really about the next console in line technically, kind of so that means PS1, N64 & Saturn are 5th Gen, GCN, PS2, Xbox & Dreamcast are 6th Gen, Wii, 360 & PS3 are 7th Gen and Wii U, PS4 & NextBox are 8th Gen and so on until whenever.
Pingback: Wii U, 3DS, Wii, DS, DSi, Videojuegos y Consolas Nintendo – Nintenderos.com | ¿Es Wii U una consola de nueva generación?
oh shut up, of course it’s a next gen console.
this has been going on since the Atari days, new consoles will always come out trying to 1 up each other, and hey, it may end up being the weakest of the bunch, but it’s still gonna be a part of the next generation, seeing as how the current generation is almost over.
remember the Atari Jaguar and the Phillips CD-i? they were part of the fourth generation (or fifth, depending on your perspective) and they sucked, but they still counted as part of that generation of consoles, so even is the Wii U happens to suck (which I don’t think it will) or be the weakest of the bunch (which is quite possible) it will shill count as a 8th gen console, and anyone who says different, doesn’t know much of anything about video game history.
1st Gen: Atari 2600/CV/Pong
2nd Gen: NES/Genesis
3rd Gen: SNES/Sega Stuff
4th Gen: N64/PS
5th Gen: GCN/PS2/XBOX
6th Gen: Wii/360/PS3
7th Gen: 3DS/Vita
8th Gen: Wii U/PS4/720
Happy Now??
1. you’re missing the true second generation there
2. handheld consoles don’t count and are in another category all together
and 3. you’re missing quite a few consoles there (although you were right about the main ones)
take a look here for the true list: http://gaming.wikia.com/wiki/Video_game_console_generations
Too much stuff missing.
Nope. it’s still next gen. it doesn’t matter what the specs are, a gen is defined by the period of which its released.

Also, Capcom doesn’t know jack. They may have ‘critically acclaimed’ games, but the way they’re working now is just tempting fate. How I see it is Capcom is like a jenga puzzle right now. They’ve been pulling out the values, franchises, and ect. that they don’t see as ‘important.’ but now the only structure remaining is Monster Hunter and Street Fighter. If EITHER franchise is taken out or ruined, they’re bound to collapse.
exactly, Capcom knows NOTHING about consoles and should stick to making their mega man and street fighter games and let the big boys (Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft) worry about the consoles
HAHAHAHA because they totally make real megaman games now.
I know right, they totally should go back to making good megaman games though
“Nintendo” aren’t big boys, they’re little bitches with a mass of kiddies.
take a look at Nintendo’s history, I know you only know about maybe the past five years of gaming history and that’s both sad and pathetic
let me give you a history lesson, if you look back to the video game crash of the 80’s, you’ll see that Nintendo was one of the first companies to recover, and begin making consoles, also, if you follow Nintendo’s history up until the time of the Playstation, you’ll see that they beat out many rival companies that were making consoles at the time. In 1983 Nintendo created their first console, but they were not the only ones making video game consoles, there were many others that Nintendo succeeded in putting out of business.
Between 1983 and 1994 they succeeded in putting the following companies out of business: (at least hardware wise) Atari, Sega, NCE, Phillips, Panasonic, Bandai, SNK and Magnavox, to name a few.
and Nintendo continues to be successful today, for many reasons.
Your right, Nintendo aren’t the big boys, that’s Sony and Microsoft, no, Nintendo is KING of gaming.
Now I am in no way a fanboy, in fact I much prefer playing PS3 to playing the wii, but you can’t deny, Nintendo is good, they own some of the most popular video game icons in the WORLD (Mario, Pikachu and Link to name a few) and they continue to make great games that are a lot of fun.
Again I am not a fanboy, I’m just a huge video game fan and collector and I believe the truth speaks for it’s self, Nintendo is simply the best.
Now everything I’ve just said is true, but here is my opinion on the future of gaming that may or may not be true, and it is this, I believe that Nintendo and Sony combined are going to slowly destroy Microsoft as a gaming company, I do believe that microsoft will remain the most successful computer company, but they are slowly failing at gaming and will soon realize that making video games is not worth their money, and that’s why they won’t talk about the next xbox, cause there isn’t going to be one, and if there is, it will most likely be the last.
anyway, that’s all I have to say for now, sorry about the wall of text.
Wall of text that I’m not interested in reading.
your an idiot, Nintendo is kicked ass for years and put many other companies out of business, so they are not “bitches” as you have said (that’s basically what I said in a nutshell)
also I said that Microsoft will most likely go out of business gaming wise either this generation of the next
You’re.*
I don’t care about history; I care about the present. Their legacy means nothing to my modern gaming purchases.
Microsoft isn’t going anywhere, either. Keep living that pipe dream, though.
They are presently kicking your favorite companies asspirins and will start on the 8th gen real soon have fun waiting on your 6th gen pos 720 and ps4 will be 7th gen at best if they don’t upgrade their controller or copy the gpad it will be tired gaming no matter how good it looks its inferior
This only means he thinks next gen begins when all 3 consoles are released. Not that WiiU isn’t next gen.
They didn’t say “console” but “console cycle.” They’re talking about the development of games. Next gen games won’t be produced as soon as the Wii U comes out. It’ll take a while before that happens to avoid the same thing it happened this gen.
Guys listen The Next Playstation & Xbox will probably have slightly better graphics but not as noticable as the transition from PS2 to PS3, Unless you knit pick every tiny graphical detail, the Wii U will be able to hold its own very well in terms of graphics & developers won’t have a problem making games for Wii U with its Simple Feature set. No matter what Stubborn And/or crappy developer says, the Wii U is Ready!!! It’s Next-Gen! (:
Sorry Capcom, you’re wrong about that. A generation of consoles is determined by time not by the specs of the given consoles. Looks like Capcom is playing the waiting game with Nintendo, wanting to see how the system performs before they throw any weight behind it. Understandable from a business standpoint.
It would be disappointing if after taking the wait and see approach with Wii U, they go all in on the nextbox/PS4. Choose your next move wisely Capcom. Leave luck to heaven.
some sony or microsoft fanboys are stuppid, come’ on is normal that next gen begin when 3 console’s are out. they never gonna make next gen game for one console, is to expensive for that, and that’s why they gonna wait!!
I don’t think he is saying that a console needs to be powerfull to be an next-gen console, not even that WiiU is not powerfull enough. Maybe what he’s trying to say is that one console ALONE in the market can’t start a new generation of gaming these days, it will take time until other machines come to join the WiiU, and then a new generation will be set.
I think what he means is that the Wii U is going to suck ass and be in da same position the Wii was in.
If I don’t remember wrong, isn’t this the same as when the 360 was released? It did not get any exclusives to cheer over for months and the real next gen started when Wii and PS3 came out? I think it is good that the Wii U gets any good exclusives at all at this time period :)
lol @ capcom talking about video gaming they been dead since the late 90’s
Listen cause as much as I hate capcom there actually right on this, wii is on par with the ps3/xbox 360 but that doesn’t mean that it’s should be called a next gen console. Wii U is a console for Nintendo next generations and a couple weeks ago they said that they don’t want to compete with Sony or Microsoft so Nintendo is just doing there own thing. What Nintendo wants to do it’s what they want to do. The ps4 and Xbox 720 will most likely have better specs than the wii u, but it’s never been about how good a system is but how fun the game can be, this is what I like allot about Nintendo they Just make games that are fun not Hardcore Fps games.
I meant Wii U
Fps are fun, why do you think they sell so well. I hate call of duty with most of my heart but I’ve got to admit its fun to play sometimes. And I love the great fun in halo, I hate that there is some steryotype that fps are bad games.
I’m not stereotyping your just that one person who likes fps
First SFxT and now this? Does Capcom WANT people to hate them?
looks like nintendo won this gen with wii and last gen with gamecube because the ps2 lacks the hardware power of gc and xbox.
Let’s see people take this out of context.
Besides, it was similar to the 360’s situation in which the first “true” next-gen game on the 360 was, to my knowledge, Gears of War and Halo 3.
Checking Facebook, Zelda Informer already has. But then again, it was easy enough to guess that’s what they’d run with.
True, I generally don’t go to Zelda Informer for my information anyways.
If I may play devil’s advocate for a moment…
I believe this comment is not meant to call the Wii U deficient as far as the next generation is concerned, but rather that the generation proper won’t start until there are multiple consoles of that generation competing, thereby forming a market and making it worth the publisher and development teams’ time to make games for said generation. The same could be said for the 3DS: It may be the next generation for Nintendo portable games (and the difference is noticeable), but in terms of the dedicated-handheld market the “generation” didn’t start until Vita became the other player in the space.
Though considering how the game libraries of other mobile devices already offered Nintendo a competition in sales (which I’m sure some of you are ready to say you don’t care about at the mere sight of the comment), it could be argued that the portable generation started before Vita even entered the picture. It just goes to show how ill-defined the concept of a shared generation has become in more recent years. Though systems generally launched not too far from each other in the past, the definition of a console generation now has more to do with one company’s history and what advancements they’ve made from their last tech, and the annualization of other electronics is further blurring the line in the general public’s mind.
Edit: Replace “ill-defined” with “less-solidly defined.”
Capcom is mostly correct here. And they probably know more about the other next gen consoles then we do. But the wii U is a next gen console. Even though it’ll likely be a repeat of the wii it is still next gen. Its half next gen, tech wise its not. But that doesn’t mean that its a next gen console .I’m guessing that the wii U will be in between the 360 and the 720 in terms of tech. It will likely lose hundreds of great 3rd party titles from other next gen consoles, but it will still most likely get the few nintendo 1st party titles that make the console worth it. But after hearing this from capcom……I don’t think a wii U purchase would be worth it. I mean capcom is a pretty trusted developer…am I wrong?
Never mind, I think he means a transition is needed like with the xbox 360 not truly getting next gen games until others were out and on the market. So the wii U will effectively be a 360 until the other next gen consoles come out. Then it will try its best to be a next gen console when the time is right.
Sickr you make the worst titles in the world, its like you want fanboy wars on here!
What Capcom is saying is that the next generation won’t fully begin until all the new consoles are on the market. That is when all the good stuff will happen.
This
The title of this article is misleading as fuck
yes it is…
that just makes it troll bait.
Does anyone else think that it looks kinda like Minecraft on the tv?
Pingback: Capcom Doesn’t Believe Wii U Will Start the Next Gaming Generation
Sounds more like capcom is saying that the next generation of consoles won’t start until nintendo has a mainstream console developer release a gaming console that is to compete with the Wii U. The journalism seems a bit misleading.
Reblogged this on Gigable – Tech Blog.
Eh, no matter. I’ll still be getting one.
To a point, he is right. It always takes the game maker about 6months to a year after the launch of a game system to get their good games to market for it. That is when the real cycle begins. Most of the early ones are games that come out for both systems and have issues, so they are flawed. For nintendo, the games they release in the first year should be fine, for third party, it takes to catch up to the new system.
helooow sony and microsft fanboys, chek this..http://wiiudaily.com/2012/09/capcom-wii-u-next-gen-console/
capcom means that the next gen begin when all 3 console’s are here!!
They said “begin in earnest” which basically means “kick into full gear” or “really get started”. That does not equate to the Wii U not being next gen. It’s basic logic here. The PS4/720 won’t be around for at LEAST another year, probably longer. They haven’t even officially announced them, and I doubt they will announce them at E3 2013 and release them that fall. If they were to start making games for Wii U from scratch, that fully utilize it’s capabilities, it would be much harder to port those games to PS3/360. For now, the developers will continue to make multi-platform games that will grace PS3/360 and Wii U for now. There may be an exclusive or 2 for the Wii U that REALLY begins to outshine the PS3/360 consoles, but they will not abandon the PS3/360 consoles yet. Another way of looking at it, is that this HD generation didn’t “begin in earnest” until you had the 360 AND PS3 both available. Same thing here.
As long as Wii U/PS4/720 can all run the same graphics engines, Unreal 4/Cry Engine 3/Frostbite 2/FOX Engine (which they all will be able to so far according to nearly every source) the difference in graphics between the 3, will be harder to distinguish.
