How much longer do you think this generation will last?

Hey everybody! With E3 right around the corner and everyone getting excited about the new games coming out for there respected console(s) how far away do you guys think the new generation of consoles are? Also what kind of features do you believe these consoles will have?

I predict by the end of:

2011- new wii

2012- new Xbox

2013- new PS3

The next Xbox will release in 2014.

PS4 is expected around 2013, and I can't wait!! :D

LOL, This is a good generation in gaming. I personally wouldn't mind it lasting a few more years. xD

On topic, I think it'll last for another 2 or 3 years. I did hear that they were already stepping up the graphics capabilities, so we'll have to see.

Will the likes of Natal and Move around the corner, I'd say it would last at least another two years, maybe even three.

MS and Sony have said they want this generation to go on for another five years. Personally I find that to be a bit insane since the PC is already blowing away the consoles in terms of performance (compare PC exclusives or ports designed primarily with the PC in mind such as Metro 2033, not the lame console to PC ports, and you'll see what I mean) and features (multi-monitor 3D gaming with each monitor displaying resolutions up to several times higher than the average resolution found in 360 and PS3 games). In another five years there simply won't even be any comparison between PC and consoles as the PC will be on an entirely different level. So as much as I would love to see that happen (since it would usher in the rebirth of PC gaming as a platform more or less independent of consoles) I seriously doubt it will since the console makers aren't going to let themselves get that far behind the curve.

I'd give the current generation another two years. I doubt we'll see anything at this year's E3 since there hasn't been a single rumor yet of a next-gen console, but I would expect something at next year's E3. And then a year after that we'd probably see the release of the next-gen consoles.

My guess? Natal crashes and burns this year, and as a result, in 2011 we'll have the official announcement for a November 2012 Xbox.

Personally, I'd love to see this generation last as long as possible.
