The Xbox 360 came out when I was in sixth grade. Now I'm in sophomore year of college.
I think we'll get plenty of new franchises and the shooter craze will finally die down a bit once we get new consoles.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Console makers won't introduce a new one until demand drops significantly.
I'm sure the new generation already exists. They're just waiting so they can squeeze every drop from this gen.
Prolly 2014 or sumthin. Maybe later even.

Demand has been dropping significantly for three years now.
the shooter craze will get worse with new consoles, because when a dev focus's on graphics, they make a tried and true easy to make shooter that sucks ass. With the console makers having been out so long it means developers have a work flow that works and can pump out games faster, but they'll hve to try different things now, insteaed of focusing on technology and making a pretty shooter, they are going to have to appeal to some other aspect of gaming to stand out among a saturated fps market.The Xbox 360 came out when I was in sixth grade.

Apparantly it's not enough.
I get the feeling that it will be around for a while more. Like 3 years. Unfortunately.
I would say that it is very broke at the minute. The number of gamers has been dropping like rain in a monsoon over the past few years and as of late it has started to get very noticeable.If it ain't broke don't fix it. Console makers won't introduce a new one until demand drops significantly.

NO! I like my PS3, and its still getting good games. . . .The Xbox 360 came out when I was in sixth grade. Now I'm in sophomore year of college.

Yeah I agree. I forgot how long it's been going on for.
I was in 7th grade when the 360 first came out. Now I'm a Junior in college. WTH!?
I want it to stop soon because my PS3 is running low on harddrive space. There are still a few more future releases coming out that I may wanna get for my PS3. I'm not sure if my PS3 can handle all that. I know it's a strange reason, but I don't wanna sell any of my games. I want them to stop making PS3 games.
Also because I hate spending $60 on every new release I want. After this generation, I'm through supporting these greedy developers and publishers. Online passes, day-one DLC, disc-locked content...It's only gonna get worse. I'm not gonna buy any of the next gen consoles. I'll be happy with playing games on my PS2, N64 and Genesis. I'm gonna be going all "retro" after this generation I guess. haha
Nintendo needs to release their system more than the others. While I do like the Wii, the hardware is damn pathetic and needs a replacement.
I'll be honest, while I would love to see new tech and maybe true 1080p, this gen still has fine quality games coming out for it. The PS3 alone has tons of games still to release. I'm kinda in the middle on this, I have my PC for the newer pretty games like BF3 and Witcher 2, but I have to say the new Metal Gear Demo and The Last of Us look pretty good. It's kinda slowing down now though because many devs are prepping next gen games, which means by 2014 we will have new consoles, if not by the end of next year. Xbox 360 is really running on fumes for games being released, MS's studios are more than likely working on games for their next console, so the new releases are slowing down. Nintendo is moving on and the Wii shows it by being completely dead. Sony, like on the PS2, will have PS3 games releasing for a bit while longer and won't really slow down until the PS4 is actually out.
I want more games like Tales of Xillia, Ni nu kuni. So i'm fine if this gen lasted another 4 years if they kept releasing quality jrpgs on it to make up for the lack of them in the beginning now that dev costs are lower. As for the Next Dragon Age and such, thats what my PC is for.
Goddamn, but this makes me feel old. On topic, nope. I don't want any more developers to go under, thanks.The Xbox 360 came out when I was in sixth grade. n00bproof
nope, its not always wise to bring a console out in the financial state some contries are in.A lot of people are spending less than ever.
Besides the more time i get out my 360 and PS3 for new games the happier i am to be honest, im not in any position to fork out for a new console yet.
Tell me when I should actually care when this gen ends, cause I'm still loving it, if you don't then find a new ****** hobby.
Well I was pretty much a pro console gamer and hardly used my gaming PC at all just couldn't get into it, but the last month i've basically gone **** the consoles 720p with no AA is just not cutting it anymore, and when I played Sleeping dogs on PC and seen how much better it looked I knew it was time to cross over to PC gaming and for whatever reason having been luving it a lot more, 1080p with AA and a stable framerate is just so much better in 2012. Still cant wait for the new God of war and the last of us though :) also halo 4 looks 10 times better than the previous versions.
This gen has lasted like 8 years, I agree, and I played over 100 games this gen, more reasons for next gen systems to be needed, and for those who don't want next gen systems now, just don't buy them and stick with playing your current gen systems, just because new systems is out doesn't mean you need to abandon your current ones.
This generation needs to end because the Xbox 360 is holding everything back.

It needs to end for the 360 and fast, since it ran out of games to play. PS3 is still going strong however.

There was some truth in what you said though.[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]
Is it the old consoles' fault, or is it the developers fault for releasing stale games? I'm not sure how new consoles would magically change the developers' mindsets.

I was gonna write that, almost exactly the same words and everything... weird :P

As much as I have luved the ps3, it's not just the 360, both consoles specs are rubbish these days. some sony exclusives look so good because naughty dog are freaking wizards among a few others. But both consoles are old dogs, I compared the sleeping dogs demo on the ps3 to the pc version the other day, and the pc version looks like a next generation game it makes the ps3 version look like a trashy blury mess. So if rockstar go all out on the PC version of GTA5 it will make the console versions look like a joke.This generation needs to end because the Xbox 360 is holding everything back.

There was some truth in what you said though.There is no truth on that, sorry. Maybe for you, ShadowMoses, and a few other guys who put hype over facts. But any unbiased person who know both console specs, knows both consoles are equally dated.
