is this seventh gen of consoles starting to die?

I realize threads like this come up all the time and there are probably a ton of un announced games coming up this year. Saying that though are the consoles starting to really slow down and coming to the end of their life cycles. The Wii I feel has pulled out all of it's big guns, (Mario, DK, Metroid, Zelda) and there is a new Zelda coming out. The titles the 360 has upcoming (that aren't kinect based) are the forza 4, mass effect 3 (may or may not be on ps3 also), eldar scrolls and gears 3. The PS3 has twisted metal, LBP2, KZ2 and uncharted 3 (not including move titles).

I realize that theres loads of multiplats i haven't mentioned and feel free to mention games I missed because I'm saying this off the top of my head. But overall do you think this gen of consoles is starting to die down (with the motion controls on 360 and ps3 just being filler till next gen)?

We will see.

I think so.

Wait what?

PS3 has a great line-up, 360 has some good titles, and wii has skyward sword (all i want from that :P)

ps3- infamous2, uncharted 3, killzone 3, lbp2, restistance 3, mlb the show 2011

360- Gears 3, forza 4

plus multiplats like brink, rage, arkrham city, battlefield 3, SSX, etc.

Based on prior console cycles, we should be seeing a new "Wii" very soon at least. Don't know about PS3 and 360, I kind of don't want to buy new systems already. It seems like they are still getting more and more out of the hardware.

I think they are on their way out, but Sony and Microsoft are definatly trying to squeeze some more years out of their consoles..

No. Maybe the Wii but that's about it. The PS3 is barely reaching it's prime. The 360 is getting more support with the Kinect.

This generation has been pathetic.

I was looking back through my old EGMs and GIs - - during the PS2/XBOX/GC years, there were 4 or 5 really good games . . . . every month.

Look at the current generation,. We're lucky to get 4 good games a year.

nottu

just because console sales are slow doesnt mean the gen is dying. It just means that there's now a good install base on all three systems and game developlers can be assured decent revenues for their creations. The only thing the next gen will add wold be slightly better graphics, which means more time in developing games, etc. I'm happy where we are right now.

No, it isn't. I'd give it another 2 or 3 years, at least.

nah, I'd give it another 2 or 3 years before we get anything new.

Which is terrific.
