[QUOTE="dontshackzmii"]

we need a new system in 2 or 3 years . 360 is really starting to show its age .

yeah, know lets see. Ps3 has Kz2. 4 years dev time estimated 60 million dollar budget. GT5 infinite budget and dev time. compared to gears 1 + 2, each with 6 people working on it and a 10 - 12 million dollar budegt. then there the question how many engines have been built from ground up for the 30? 3 Rare made one, Ensemble studios made one and now theres the X engine. Gears 1 ran using mostly one core of the xenon,

"According to Epic's Cliff Bleszinski, the game as it is running right now is only using one of the Xbox 360's three cores, and has been up and running on the final development kits for only about two weeks."

anyway the X engine is more than just a tool set. Its a new way to program. Heres a thread I wrote about it cause I don't feel like writing it all out

but to me it doesn't really matter both systems are putting out great games nonetheless. and thats all that matters :)

Erm Killzone 2 only cost 20 Million. Can people honestly stop using this "they have unlimited/alot of funds therfore the games will look way better then other games on the market"arguement?

Its funny how they say "MAY not be at mid cycle" as if they dont even know for sure, while Sony has said a definitive number about their consoles (like 10 years) and were able to be successful with their statement on the PS2. Anyway, I highly doubt that. I guess I can call this a joke thread.

Once Sony takes over more market share they will launch another console to beat Sony to the punch.

So they are going to let nintendo be the innovator and the first one with a next gen console if they wish. That would be a bit awkward.
"The Xbox 360 was designed for a long life" is hilarious stuff btw.

get a pc, plug in x360 controller and you have a xbox 3. if you care about graphics you should not be gaming on consoles and waiting for a new one.

I think no 360 will survive half of its lifecycle regardless :POdrec
that just means more $$$ for ms when people start buying new ones.
