Future Console Talk

[Cusefan]

I was thinking about this the other night and decided to share my thoughts with you guys. According to Ubisoft, they believe the Next generation of systems will hit the market in 2011-2012. Here are my predictions

* Apple Will enter the Console Market because Apple is cool and they know it.

* Console Peripherals will not work on these Future Systems

* Some or all of the Consoles will support 3D technology, It may even be the backbone of one of them.

* One Major Console will try Something "groundbreaking" (think Wii) but Unlike the Wii, it will fail miserably.

*A Major third party developer will develop exclusively for Apple

* The Systems will somehow be linked to your cell phone

* The Next Xbox will have a internet Browser

* The Apple System will also be a suitable Computer

* Sports games will probably still disappoint.

Next Xbox predictions: After 1 month your console explodes. That's Microsoft's new way of innovating.

I can't see myself buying any new console that comes out. I feel like the 360 has too much life left in it. No need to move on to the next big thing when I'm content with what I have. It made sense when I jumped from the original Xbox, but what will a new console really offer? The graphics on 360 are great. They should just keep on trying to make innovative games.

I agree with Pappy, I don't see any good reason why the 360/PS3 can't last another 5 years. I don't want to even think about buying a new console anytime soon.

I did think the time frame was a bit soon, personally i think the PS3 will easily outlast the Xbox by 4 or 5 years.

Im not buying another system Unless Madden is downright amazing and not a stripped down gimmick.

Yeah I can't see the reasoning behind producing another system so soon. PS3 and 360's made a pretty big leap in terms of capacity, online capabilities, etc. so I can't really see them producing another console for another 5-6 years.

I'm intrested in the "forwards" compatibility of the 360. The biggest thing is if I can transfer stuff from the hard drive or even if it uses the same one. That's important with all the DLC around. Can't get here soon enough for me,nothing to put in these HDMI ports now!

I've also learned my lesson and will absolutly not be buying a PS4.

What happened with you and the PS3?
