The 3DS isn't a generation behind, sure, the graphis are inferior to Vita's, but they're supperior to PS2 graphs and somewhat comparable to the Wii graphs at times, plus, it has glasses free 3D, which I enjoy myself.
I'm not a fanboy myself, hell, I only buy the systems that have or will have RPG's that I like, while the Wii U will most likely have lower graphics compared to the next xbox and playstation, it will most definetly be more powerful than the previous generation, several devs have said so before... Regarding the aimed primarly at children, that's debatable.. There's several series of games that Nintendo consoles get that definetly aren't for all ages, all plaftorms have childish games, dif is that Nintendo states themselves as Family Fun.
the 3DS definitely is a generation behind. you say the graphics are comparable to wii, which is comparable to gamecube (NGC>wii is where they started their retirement from using modern hardware), which is a decade old. i wasn't talking about literally a generation behind, i was saying a generation behind in terms of power. the wii, DS, and 3DS are all a generation behind in terms of power.
and the fact that nintendo is aimed primarily at children is not debatable. it's a fact. PS3 is for hardcore gamers, i don't know what xbox is aimed at - i don't pay much attention. and wii is for children or, "family" if you will. nintendo is just aimed primarily at children. it's a well known fact. i'm not saying everything on the wii is for kids. that would be stupid.
First of all, stuff like Hardcore gamers is something that I consider BS, seeing as just because you like X game more then A game, it doesn't mean it's hardcore... Most people would call a game like CoD hardcore, whereas I'd consider other games as that, and the PS3 is as much as for children like the 360 and the Wii, or haven't you seen all those childish games they have?
"PlayStation

®3 system. PlayStation

Sounds very hardcore doesn't it? Well, it's what's written in the official playstation move website, something def aimed at hardcore games, who wouldn't wanna wiggle around with a control that has a ball on it? =3
Nintendo is aimed at all ages, like Sony and Microsoft are, why would they make Kinnect and Move, if not to get people that play the wii, play it too?
I'm not even a fan of the wii, my fave console from this gen is the 360, but the Wii has some really good games, for which I'll buy one, same for the PS3.
Also, how many games on the PS3 or the 360, can you say that makes you have genuine fun, laugh or etc? And I don't mean swearing at other people via headset, but actual fun wether alone or with others.
