What i meant was that MS are using the term "next-gen" as some sort of stupid catchphrase to try and excite people who somehow believe they will be "entering the next generation of gaming". It's a term that means nothing. If you truly wanted "next-gen" today, surely you woud have to travel forward in time or something?!!

I think by next gen, they're trying to say that they're officially beginning the next generation on computers (the Xbox 360 and PS3 are, afterall, computers.). The Xbox 360 IS next gen because it has 3 processors, and 2 hardware threads per. The reason it's next gen is because Intel (and we all know they're a massive company) is going to release multi-processor computers beginning in 2007. So, in essence, the Xbox 360 is the beginning of the next-gen.

I hear you but... I'm sure they simply mean or could argue that they mean that it is the next generation X-box. Does not need to mean anything but.

well they mention next gen games, which i took to mean games that are offering all of dx9's features including real mapping/soft shadows/hdr/ sm3.0..etc, theres been a few on the pc that offer some but not many that offer all thos features, but i'm sure they reference thier hardware as well but seeing quake 4 stutter on the 360 tells me its THIS generation,not next
