Do we really need new consoles? NO we don't! What do we need? More games!! While Nintendo obviously needs to come out with a new system to catch up considering the Wii is wayyy outdated hardware wise. Maybe i'm alone on this one but I really don't wanna buy a new console for awhile especiallly when the majority ofgames are already priced at $60 a pop when they get released. I really hope Micro$oft doesn't screw us Xbox gamers over like they did before and Sony already said they have no plans on releasing a new console for awhile. While being a hardcore gamer it's kinda hard not to get excited about a new console no matter which big 3 it's coming from. I just think the current hardware *360/PS3* is good enough to last for awhile longer. On a side note this is why PC gaming is good because you can upgrade when you feel like it and don't have to shell out a bunch of money to upgrade.

360 and PS3 are here to stay for a little bit longer. At least another year for 360 and another two years for PS3.

You could have just stuck with the PS2 instead of making this thread. They still make games for that last gen console.

New consoles would help out alot. If you want console games with true 1080p, 4xAA, and16xAF graphicsand without dips below 30 fps then more powerful consoles are needed. I've been suffering from frame rate problemsin somePS3 and Xbox 360 games and I think current consoles are being pushed too hard for what they are or making sacrifices to try to be playable. For example, Crysis,formely PC only game but nowon consoles as well, had to take out a certainlevel and I read the the levels are divided into sections insteadof renderingwhole level at once due to lack of RAM in consoles.

f*ck graphics, I want new consoles for bigger levels, more complex physics, more features, smoother framerate, a clearer resolution, games on consoles now use just about 100% of its hardware power, dev's have to cut corners. But although graphics are overrated. People who think current console games look "amazing" are blind, maybe if you sit 10 feet away on a couch, but within 3 feet you can see how incredibly grainy and low res it looks. Like I said, across the street an ugly girl can look alright, but up close....nope, same with console games.

Defiantly ignorant.

If you buy a new console.

Why oh why don't you noobs wake up to the PC? :)

Do you like being the LA Gear wearing light-bright gaming sociopaths that you are? Is this intentional ignorance to troll the elite?

$400 for a new console is a drop in the bucket compared to the thousands i have spent on software. since you spend so much more on software why the hell wouldn't you want to play those games on the best system you can play them on.

plus, i'm just burnt out on this gen.

The 720 won't come out until at least 2013 and the PS4 probably not until 2014, if they do make a PS4 anyway.

meh I dont care about new consoles.... unless they birng new and exciting games that I want to play. Which I doubt any of them have atm. Mostlikly they wont be here till late 2013 till 2014. As far as the Wii U goes I'll just see how that turns out, because atm I'm not interested at all.

I feel we need new consoles in order to progress, the hardware is very limiting at the moment.

However, im in no rush, later 2013 or early 2014 release for the Nextbox will be ideal for me(Assuming the PS4 comes shortly after)

Dont worry PS4 will be Sonys last console just like the PS Vita is Sonys last handheld.So you only have to worry about WII U and maybe Xbox RROD 720 Kinect if you like low quality casual games.

If we want development costs to decrease, leading to decrease in software prices and increased opportunity for risk, then we don't want new hardware.

It's not just about graphics...
It's about what the devs can put in their games, the Ai, the physics in the environnement, the sizes of maps, etc.

If new consoles come out, at first, there won't be an insane graphical jump like there has been for every gen before.
Instead of having the devs abusively trying to optimise their games just so it can run on consoles and utting corners, now some might actually start to think about making the game better instead and not worrying about the horse power available.

As for those who might think prices would rise up, that woudn't be the case this time.
Sure every gen before the new hardware required to relearn everything about the hardware cause the game engines had to run on completely different pieces of hardware. For exemple this gen, it was a nightmare when only looking on the processors side of things. Instead of simply having more a more powerfull processors like before, now they had to deal with MULTIPLE cores, no wonder why the PS3 was the worst with the cell and devs didnt like life anymore.
This times, the consoles will most likely stay similar in design. It's simply a question of upgrading the hardware to something simply more powerfull.

With better API like DX11, making the games look better will be quite easier than dealing with the outdated stuff we have right now.

Seriously, new consoles can only be a good thing.

So you are telling me that developers would be able to create a more unique gaming world and have much more options on their development strategy instead of being limited to linear gameplay, with a linear story, and a bunch of cutscenes?

Unbelievable. But many console gamers don't want this sooooooo. They want movie games with low field of view and view distance.
