"next-gen"

would you call a console wich sometimes plays games in 1080p and that can sometimes even play them at 60fps next gen, while pc could do that since 2008ish?? (and earlier if you had all the $$$)

so why do they still call all the ps4 and xbone crap next-gen if it is out for more then half a year already.

at release the consoles were only outperformed by PCs now they start to become outperformed AND outdated.

we already have 3d TVs but still no 3d consoles, nvidia has had 3d for a long time now.

4k resolution is coming, again, something the consoles cant do, PCs dont have a problem supporting it, and the performance is also coming slowly.

the consoles completely miss out on the stuff that is actually next gen.

there is only one thing that keeps consoles in the market, one little stupid thing, making these software locked, low end pc's worth buying for some gamers:

 

exclusive titles.

and exclusive titles ony exist for one reason, wich is to keep the consoles alive.

"from software makes a new game, awsome!! i loved Dark Souls, finally i get something new made by them." not. of course its ps4 exclusive, i have to buy a 400$ console to be able to get that 60$ game.

i have a 2000$ gaming pc, it can run all games at 1080 with 60+ fps (112fps on battlefield 4 max graphics) now there is some awsome game i cant play on it, and the only reason that is so, is bacause someone decided he has to keep a console alive that should not exist in the first place.

now that is something truly....bs. i should have invested in "next-gen" hardware instead.

ps3 had 3D in grand tursmo 4. i depends on the game.

next gen, means next gen console, not next gen technology.

and then we get to the gist of your post which is "look at me my computer is soooooooooooo expensive"

I have been playing 1200p 60FPS since 2005 when I first got a 1200p monitor. You could even do it before that if you count the 4:3 2048x1536 CRT monitors that came out in the late 90s.

if i wanted to show of my great expensive pc, i would have listed some specs. there are many guys here with better hardware. showing off with expensive pcs is stupid imo, except for modding builds, as everyone with the same money could build the same thing. you could just as well show of the Dollar bills.

i just wanted to say, even tho my pc would be perfectly capable to play all these games, i cant.

Yes, I would call it next-gen. What the hell do you think that label means? It doesn't mean that it's the latest and greatest and most powerful piece of tech. It simply means that it's the next iteration of the previous console. It doesn't have anything to do with hardware specs aside from the obvious fact that it should be more powerful than the console that came before it. This is also why the Wii U is a next-gen console despite it's aging hardware.

Gen refers to time released not hardware. Granted these are CURRENT gen now, they are out. I really wish people would stop the next gen crap they are here.
