We must stop using the term "next-gen"

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

It's 2014. The PS4 and the Xbox One have been out for more than 8 months. It's time to forget the PS3 and the 360, and start calling the PS4 and the Xbox One the current gen. 

[BonBon Scott]

They weren't even Next-Gen before they were released.

[Snickerzz]

lol its ganna take some time, especially since devs are still making games for "last gen"

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

They weren't even Next-Gen before they were released.

I know, Luke's video of the 480 vs the PS4 made sure we know that.

[Askew]

We are not console users.

lol devs are making "next-gen games" and "last-gen games." Where's the current gen? I don't think devs are making games for the PS5 and the next Xbox's name is gunna be 

[Oshino Shinobu]

It's strange that they're still making near enough every new title for the PS3 and Xbox 360 as well. Maybe it just shows how small of a jump these new consoles were, people aren't bothering to switch. 

[Cacao]

They weren't even Next-Gen before they were released.

Apparently not even 5 years before their release...

Obviously referring to Slick's video with the GTX 480.

you know what i mean lol

[CoolBeans]

I just call them pleb stations

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

We are not console users.

I know. Neither am I. But the words"next-gen" and "PS4" and "Xbox" are still everywhere.

[VG Docs]

The almighty XBOX....two

[Izaya Orihara]

Now with 30% more gen. 

[Izaya Orihara]

They weren't even Next-Gen before they were released.

Technically they are next-gen. 

[BonBon Scott]

Technically they are next-gen. 

 

 

Get outta here with your technicalities.

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

The almighty XBOX....two

I wouldn't count on the Microsoft Xbox team to name their product what we expect...i mean look at the name change from Xbox 360 to Xbox One

[Foxxer]

Marketing man.

I know, it'll probably be a retarded name either way though, and the Two would certainly fit that 

[Enderman]

We call them 'next gen' to make fun of how retardedly outdated their performance is.

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

lol maybe a different term would hurt a console player's feelings more than what they thing their console is.

[sabot]

We should call them previous gen now!

[Builder]

They weren't even Next-Gen before they were released.

By definition, they were only next-gen before they were released. Now they are current gen.

 

What you people don't seem to realize is that there is an enormous cost to mass manufacture custom built systems. The Xbox One and PS4 have all of their components connected by a pick and place machine, then the casing is assembled and someone tightens a few screws. To build a custom PC like we say has way better performance would require retooling and adjustment of the production lines, and that isn't profitable. They are integrated devices, like smartphones and tablets.

 

I would go as far as to say console gamers are the "real" gamers here, they are more focused on the game than they are on fetishizing computer parts. They want to buy the console, stick in a disk, pick up a controller, and play. You still can't do that on a PC. You have to build it, install Windows etc. 

 

The performance isn't even that bad. Games around 10 years from now will look awesome on the Xbox One and PS4. They look great now, for god's sake. The optimization takes a long time, and part of the reason for the console cycle's existence is for devs to fully optimize their games for a stable platform. PCs are not stable platforms. The hardware changes yearly, and their stuff is expected to run on everything from the latest Titan Black to the pokiest 8800GT.

 

Stop with the asinine master race stuff and PTFO. The objective of fun, folks, which is an oft forgotten aspect of games these days.

Wow, I suggest you take cover before the wonderful PC keyboard warriors wreck you. And are you suggesting that PC gamers aren't gamers at all because we like to do things the hard way? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!?!  *insert emoticon to look casual*

I'm just saying that you're no less of a person or a gamer for just wanting to play the damn game and not do it the hard way.
