Greenberg: 'We believe we're less than halfway through this generation'

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=24469

Good news, the userbase of HD consoles are growing and niche games are starting to sell combined on both platforms. I also cant wait for Japans greater contribution to HD systems, something that will grow a whole lot not next year.

But ive always said this, MS has NO REASON to end early, they too have the capability to go for 10 years.

This is why it's waaaaaaaaay too early to tell which console will "win the console war". Don't expect a PS4 or XB 720 anytime soon. Wii 2 on the other hand might not be far off...jdt532

this is about right...360 and ps3 don't need to be upgraded. The Wii has a lot of Room...HD, Better Online, and built inMotion +...maybe even more buttons on the wii remote!

Hm? I didn't see them talking about niche games in that article, can you pull out a quote?

Of course. They are pulling in the money, why stop now?ToScA-

I see the "10 year cycle" claim coming from both Sony and MS and I only half believe it.

On the one hand, given the current state of the global economy, I do not think it would be wise to put out a new system within the next 2 years. On the other hand, Sony and MS could be doing this to throw off each other. They could be in the process of and R & D for a new system now, waiting for the economy to turn around to release it.

There are advantages to sticking with a 10 year life cycle for both, but has past generations have proven, it is also advantageous to be first to market.

I believe I'm halway through your generation...

[QUOTE="WhoaNellie32"][QUOTE="dsmccracken"] I don't WANT it, but I know it will happen.... if not 5 years, certainly not 10 years. I'd say we're halfway through or more.dsmccracken

[QUOTE="dsmccracken"][QUOTE="WhoaNellie32"] If you really spend more than the amount of time it took you to write this post worrying about this than you should introspect, son.WhoaNellie32

I hope the best is yet to come.

I have no real worries about buying a Xbox 360 currently now, because I have at least some confirmation that they won't leave the 360 soon.. Other then the fear of hardware failure, but I don't think it will fail.
