How many more years!

I know this may seem like a wierd topic since the 360 is only on its secound year and the Ps3 has barely started.

Well with the 360 having hardware problems I think its safe to say Microsoft will push their work to get the next console out by 2010.

The PS3 looks like it could last until 2011-12

The Wii I thing will be replaced by 2010.

So that gives us IMO 2-3 years left of this generation.

It should be like 10 years.mentalhelp

It should be like 10 years.mentalhelp

I know after spending £400 on a PS3 some people would love to think so, but really the longest a generation has lasted is 5 years.

PS3 will go til 2014.NobuoMusicMaker

Yes that 512mb of ram will tear up games in 7 years time.

Do you like the Wii? By 2010, the PS3 will be the equivalent of purchasing a Wii today.

7 years minimum for all consoles. That's at least what I think. DA_B0MB

7 more years with GC graphics thats nothing but torture, and in 6 years PS3 and 360 graphics would have the same problem the Wii has at the moment.

Dont tell me I dont mind, in 5 years PC games will look amazing awsome and complete ownage to anything the consoles can do and you wouldnt feel like you need an upgrade my %@~

What will happen If microsoft forces the next gen in 2011 before sony has recouped its losses from the PS3 disaster? No more PSX?

Why do you seriously believe that a console could last more then 5 years?

It would take a "genius" over at SONY's place to believe that a PS3 could stand against the competition forover 5-6 years.

All you cows out there are rampaging on Wii's graphics now, how do you think PS3's graphics will look when the next Xbox is shown?


You guessed right, like crap. haols

wow, that's like saying guess how n64's graphics are compared to xbox1's graphics. like crap.

NO, that is not the same :|

Technology advances far quicker now then ever before.

Next generation we will most likely see another increase in resolution, most likely they will aim for the so called extreme HD. (beyond 1080p).

Needles to say, the GPUs will evolve accordingly.

The jump form N64 to Xbox however, wasn't as big as one might think, just look at the difference between Halo 2 and Perfect dark, then look at Gears of War.

This gen (not counting Wii) has been the greatest leap in graphis since the jump from 2D to 3D.

not really. the jump from halo 2 to gears is not as significant as the jump from goldeneye(n64) to f-zero GX (gamecube)

Yeah I mean look at some PC games coming out they cant even run on the so called next gen platforms imagine how drastic the difference would be in 5 years let alone 8-10 years like some people think.

You can not compare a FPS to a racer :|

Just look at todays racers, they look brilliant. Far ahead of the FPS games on the same consoles, why?

Because the only thing that needs very much details are the cars/machines racing. The enviorments doesn't have to look very splendid at all.
Just brake in F-zero and look beside the racing track, not to beautiful backgrounds.
Compare one FPS game from each console and you will come to the conclusion that this gen is far ahead of last-gen, even though this gen has just started.

the proverbial marketing gun will be put to console kids heads in a few years as usual.

They will not allow you to enjoy yourself without paying them more money

pcs, at least we put the gun to our heads ourselves.

8 years for wii and 360 10 years for ps3wannweed

:lol: thats so stupid

Wii should be upgraded tomorrow.E_x_i_l_e

noooo! no more wii! PLEASE

What the heck are you guys thinking?

Why would this generation of consoles last 10 years? In 1-2 years will a low budget PC be able to show off graphics compareable to PS3/360 graphics.

When I mean last I dont mean people will stop playing it I mean it will be replaced by the next one, 5 years time I guarentee the Wii and 360 will be replaced but people will still have them.

PS3 will easily last 10 years, I don't know about the other two, esepcially 360.0bscurity

System life =/= generation......

again 3-4 years...2010 or 2011 is when the new consoles come out.

Wait, you ARE telling me that games in 8 years won't look any better than now? Wow. SO this is the first gen where games don't improve? OK
