Reason Microsoft and Nintendo are smarter than Sony

Sony has really nothing to look foward to next gen, they basically put all their work into this gen, and that work hasnt even paid off, Nintendo and Microsoft built simple systems that work good, and have alot of new features they can add next gen...i think that Sony is not going to come out with a new Playstation anytime soon, while Microsoft and Nintendo will release a new console in the next 3 years, while PS3 will probably stick around 6 years

expect great systems from Nintendo and Microsoft within the next few years

Sony has really nothing to look foward to next gen cee1gee

and you base this assumption on what exactly?

Saying Sony wasn't samrt from their launch until the beginning of this year, I would agree w/ you.

However, this year, Sony is smart, if not the smartest of all the companies. They are doing just about everything right.

And how is Nintendo smarter than Sony this year if their sails have dropped, and still have no amazing hardcore games.

MS is pretty good this year, but all in all I'll hand it to Sony

Think again... Xbox 360 and Wii are not future proof.

The next Xbox will have same graphics as PS3 anyway...

You think they would stand a chance by launching years later? Sony could easily re-use the PS3's technology in the next console and launch it around the same price/time as the other two.

I dont think we'll be seeing any new consoles anytime soon... unless it's from Nintendo, basically because they're still using last gen hardware.carljohnson3456

Nah. I doubt any of the 3 companies launches with even half your predicted "1000 dollars" launch point. Reason? No need. As fits with the general theme of this thread, Sony has already done most of its work for next console cycyle already. They're already putting out consoles with BluRay, HDD in every console, integrated WiFi and BlueTooth, and free online... all (IMHO) required assets for the new generation of consoles. They've also still got the Cell Processor's development completed, and it's likely that the next Sony console will be Cell based as well, to defray costs.

So what will the additional costs be for Sony's new console be? They'll want a faster BluRay Drive, which by the time the new consoles start rolling out shouldn't cost more than the current model in the PS3 now. They'll want more RAM, though with the rapidly declining prices for RAM, that also will be mitigated by time. What's left? An array of Cells as the CPU (2-4 sounds about right to me), and a new GPU.

This gen was a huge jump for Sony and MS to make tech wise. Next gen will be about getting more assets on the screen at a time, Increasing the sizes of these worlds, and doing it all in 1080p with 60 fps as the floor for framerates.... it will be more about perfecting the HD cansole experience than reinventing or revolutionizing it.

Think again... Xbox 360 and Wii are not future proof.

The next Xbox will have same graphics as PS3 anyway...

GaMeR_Willz

Are you serious man? :| 360 has the same graphics as PS3

Next gen consoles will at least suport directx 11

To be honest, I wouldn't want Sony coming out with a new system that soon anyway. New gaming systems tend to be quite expensive and there's nothing wrong with my PS3 as it is.

I don't agree with your reasoning. Sony is not smart because they've lost almost 5 billion dollars on one system. Nintendo and Microsoft are smart because they are making money. That's really all there is to it.

It's only a lib and it will be only on MS stuff ;) This not mean that opponent will be weaker.
