Pachter says no next gen until 2015

it will give Direct x 11 time to grow and by then Dx 12 will be out. 04dcarraher

If next gen consoles are actually only released in 2015,the PC´s advantage will be ovewrwhelming by then.

ok when did I ever mention graphics in my post? I said power which could mean lots of things...like huge levels with a lot of things happening simultaneously, better draw distances, more AIs on screen etc. There is a reason why the consoles can't handle Crysis and that is not just because of it's graphics but also the huge sand box enviorment it's set in. So next time read what I wrote before you start bashing.

umm...yes PC FPSs are always better than the ones on consoles. So what you are saying is that if a dev wanted to, they can make Crysis on the consoles?

[QUOTE="Mystic-G"][QUOTE="nintendo-4life"] which they will still go down until they can be called "slumping". I did not say we will see a console this year or the next. But I think 2012 is a definite possibility. Once Nintendo starts the new generation, Sony and MS will have a hard time following with outdated technology, they will need to upgrade.nintendo-4life

how you know ninty is going to start nex gen...

Pachter is wrong a lot of times...Jamani

I think the big three will all be launching consoles at the same time. Sony won't let Microsoft get a years head start like this generation, it cost them too much.

Nintendo doesn't need a new console right now, the Wii is still selling like hotcakes. For those saying it's starting to lose steam, no it isn't. It just isn't breaking the records like it used to. Unlike Microsoft or Sony, Nintendo is in the perfect position if they want to drop the price or bundle. Don't they make $100 off each Wii sold? Perfect position. Besides, launching a console way before the competition can have devasting affects. When the new consoles come out, yours instantly feels dated.

Personally, I don't want new consoles right now. I'm content with the graphics AND am willing to suffer a few years with outdated technology if it means the tech is cheaper next gen. I want $200-300 consoles at launch next gen, none of this $400-600 crap. Plus, we just got into the sweet spot of this generation where we are getting great games constantly and quickly.

If Nintendo is going to launch a new handheld this year (as the rumors suggest), I'd be all for it.

Didn't Pachter say Heavy Rain would sell poorly?

I'd say Nintendo: 2012, Sony$oft: 2013Silenthps

I don't really care when the next gen comes out. I am not going to wait in line for an overpriced glorified prototype only to get left out in the cold due to shortages again, just so that I can play a boring new FPS and a glossied up buggy port of a sports game. I'll probably wait a few months before buying a console next gen, and for now I am perfectly happy with PS3 and I think that it's got tons of untapped potential still. Xbox 360 does, as well. The only company I can see bailing on this gen any time soon would be Nintendo, because the motion control gimmick won't be exclusive to them anymore and they're going to need to up the graphical ante. Even that is hardly a sure thing, though, and I wouldn't be surprised if Wii is around for just as long as the PS3 and 360.

oh and he's probabaly a better source of information and market predictions for investors then some fanboys in System Wars.

I agree with him. It still feels like the beginning of this gen to me. It's not all about technical specs anyway. Bring on the good games. :)

hes not really predicting anything. sony has said this them selves.....
