Re: Future Console Talk

I don't see new consoles anytime soon. The economy won't support it. Developers can't afford it, and there's just way any of the companies can take the hit of launching right now.

Nintendo is bad enough doing the DSi and not having a single exclusive title for it at launch, I mean, why would anyone get it? I wanted one till I read all that, and it went off my list of wants.

Can't even believe Sony is thinking of another PSP.

Apple? No way they go into consoles, they are making money hand over fist with the iPhone/iPod Touch, making a console would be a step backwards for them, they want everything portable.

Sony and MS can't even think of putting a new console out. Sony hasn't got the PS3 over yet. MS has had so many trust issues, why would anyone look at a new system?

The current crop of systems are fine, they will last a long time.

I say 2013 at the earliest.

Re: Future Console Talk

I believe if the PS4 and 720 came out in Holiday 2011, it would probably sell out right away.

It's easy to sit here and say I have no interest in future systems right now but once you see the improved graphics, a certain segment of the gaming population will get sucked in right away. I remember people saying the 360 launched too quickly, yet that system sold out during the holiday season.

While I see the PS3 up on the upswing, I feel like the 360 has already peaked. It's already been reported that Microsoft is working on a game for their next system. I would be shocked if the 720 didn't come out in 2011.

PS3 YLoD.

That's the end of that.

Through the non-Sony systems of: NES,Gameboy,SNES,N64,Gamecube,Genesis,Gamegear, Sega CD,32x,Saturn,Dreamcast,3DO,Xbox,360 and 2 PCs the only one of those that's failed on me was the 360 wich fails on everyone but at least they do something about it.

Re: Future Console Talk

Wait, Sony doesn't have a 2 year warranty or something? It died after the YLOD?? Wow, that's a hurter.

One year, then it's $150 to fix.

Re: Future Console Talk

I could have sworn Sony and Microsoft already reported they wouldn't be releasing any type of new consoles until around 2012 or later. Something about the lifespan of the current consoles still have a few more years considering they were built technology wise to last longer than the tradition 5 years.

I love my 360 and my PS3 and don't see a need for a newer console considering they haven't done enough nor everything with these systems yet.

I know that Microsoft did, I don't about Sony.

I doubt Apple will do anything at all. Too much is going on there right now.

This generation has been somewhat of a dull ride. We were promised so much and given so little (so far anyway).
