Good, I've put SOOOOOO much money into this gen as it is. Another skystem would kill my wallet. I have invested around $500 into the Wii, $700 into PS3, and literally $2,500 on the 360 :oops:

soo much for the recession I guess

This gen is really expensive and gaming devs are struggling to catch up with our current tech. It will be a while before they can streamline the process and make HUGE profits off HD games while selling fewer games. Whoever jumps into next gen. too early will get shunned by most gaming devs.

That's great news and IMO I think to get an even longer life span out of the 360 MS should lower the price of the 60g and 120g HDD and make HDD only games to compete with the PS3's BD storage capibilities

I just got myself an Xbox a week ago so it would suck if they stopped supporting it anytime soon. I'm not worried tho because I can see them making money on the 360 for a few more years.

This was pretty obvious. and is the reason why I always laughed at people that were saying that the new Xbox was coming out next year. There is enough life in this gen to last at least 3 more years. the PS3 and 360 both have robust online services and upgradable HDs. The Wii has absolutely no reason to do anything as they can't make enough of the current model to satisfy demand. What's the rush?

I agree 100 percent. I am very happy with my ps3 right now, and graphics on both systems(360 and ps3) and good enough to make me happy for awhile.

Well seeing how development cost have sky rocketed and userbases lower then last gen, I expect this gen to be a long one.

I wonder how next gen will be. Everyone except Nintendo spent crazy insane amounts of money that they haven't really made back. I wonder how eager they are to start that process all over again? Plus graphics right now are really good. If gameplay could look as nice as in-engine cutscenes, that would be more than good enough. The main issues are framerates and animation. Great textures are worthless if everything becomes laughable as soon as the characters start moving. If every game had quality voice acting that would make most games seem miles better than what they currently are, and thats got ZERO to do with graphics. I could see people getting cheap next gen, and basically using the same tech, but just doubling the processors and ram (maybe quadrupling ram since you always hear almost immediately that the lack of ram is what holds back developers) so there is a performance increase, you're not breaking the bank.

I think we can expect an announcement of a new system in 2010, to be released in 2011. That sounds about right.

I wonder if they're giong with a 10 year plan or something like that, too.... because I'd imagine they'd at least be WORKING on the next console right now if they weren't.

I would like a new Microsoft system by around 2011 since I did not get a 360 because of the RROD problem. There are plenty of 360 games that I will pick up and play on the new system if it is backwards compatible.

Who wants a really old and dated console though. They need to release there next ones by 2011/12 or I'll be a very very sad panda.

A new system would be like forcing every 360 owner to shoot them selves in both feet. It wouldn't sell with the amount of money spent on the gaming industry (it's over taken the movie industry woo!) and people would struggle to afford it.

2012 is probably a good year to have next gen systems if the world doesn't end.

My thoughts exactly. Early adopters spent $1250 on hardware alone (granted I didn't spend that, but close), and I personally think that the systems (even the Wii) have enough power to pull off most developers visions, the hardware makers (Ninty not included here) are not making much money to cover their losses (and Ninty making enough money that they would enjoy continuing in this manner), and since most third party developers/publishers are also not making much money, I am sure they would prefer not spending time and money learning new platforms.

I'm still guessing there will be speculations next year (2010) and by 2011 we will see some kind of release of information and 2012 see the launch of the new system. Nintendo might launch their new in 2011 and god knows when the next Sony system will be out. I can't even speculate since they said that the life span was going to be like 10 years or something.

Not really. If he plays multiplats on 360, like me, then that sounds about right.

That's how long they will support it. Not how long until the next system. They said the same for the PS2, but they've supported the PS2 for 10 years, 2006 was obviously not 10 years after the PS2 launched. I'd guess in 2013 or 2014 for a PS4.

You won't see a new XBOX until maybe late 2011 IMO and the 360 will remain on store shelves for probably 2 or 3 years after the next generation starts mainly because it makes MS money.

Of course there won't be any new systems out of a while. Most people underestimate the expenses of R&D and getting one of these things out into the market. Simply said, it costs astronomically to produce these things.

No gaming generation that I can recall has had a 10 year cycle, so they must release a new one before 2015. I'm also not in a rush as the money just isnt there to get a new console at the moment. I'd say 2013.

Can't believe that guy was actually disappointed that MS wasn't trying to do a new console yet. Anyway, this is great news. In this recession, this last thing we need to worry about buying is yet another console. Plus, this generation is taking longer to have its consoles full power tapped. There's so much more that the 360 and PS3 can do.[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]You can say that again. You can just imagine how many more millions it would cost to develop nextgen games.

I agree 100 percent. I am very happy with my ps3 right now, and graphics on both systems(360 and ps3) and good enough to make me happy for awhile.

The graphics are good enough to make me happy forever. lol Graphics is not the only reason why I'd pay hundreds of dollars for a new console.

If it's the end of 2011, I could live with that. (well of course it'll come out at the end lol)

I predict that it is actually the Xbox 1080 and its uber awesomesauce with Halo 4, that will end up destroying the world. All that will survive is Croyts Rage, who'll be screaming at the TV, asking who turned the Xbox Live off.
