I'm not gonna say anything, I want you guys to tell us.

Whats next becuase Virtual Reality is far off and consoles are becoming PC's with restrictions.

So, tell me whats next after this gen other than better graphics.

New ways of enjoying games....Think Wiimote, but advancements...new things to help furhter the experience. Graphics will always be apart of games, its why its called VIDEO games.

we will have to wait and find out...tho.

I think M$ and Sony are gonna try to copy Nintendo, and Nintendo will do something innovative and win another generation of gaming. That's how I see it.

A motion based gen with huge improvements over this one, and of course without messing around with the traditional way of playing.

deeper games, longer games....true hd finally im thinking, better online services, basically everything being bigger and in some ways atleast i hope better, games becoming more interactive, not necessarily motion controls, but perhaps something along the lines of what you do in a game, like choice whise will affect how the game plays out, in more games, these are just a few of my speculations, the first few points are things which im really hoping for though

What I'm hoping is.. less linear games, full mod support, improved online, Mid range graphics compared to the highest PC, drop in price, cross system multiplayer as well as less exclusives.

I think the next generation is going to be a scary one. All three companies are going to have to do new things. Microsoft will try to incorporate a new control scheme as will Sony, I think. Don't expect Nintendo to release a power house next gen either. They will stay around the low end price wise. But my god they need to figure out the whole online gaming thing. That's gonna kill them this gen. They may gain millions of casuals but they will loose the hardcore if they don't figure this one out. Next gen will be all about making the gamer a bigger part of the games as well as connecting people across the globe. Pretty much bringing the ideas of the big 3 and putting them all together. But who knows?

Ditto for me. Well not quite. I'm still going to play games but once I get off to college I'm definately going to cut down on gaming. Games now just aren't what they use to be. They really have taken the forms of movies as being souless endeavors. Where's the level design? The strong core game mechanics? Creativity resulting in evolution (not not that weird Loco Roco or Odama crap)? Where's the polish? Where are the production values? Games have definately lost they're way for me. I often find myself playing older games then new ones. I'll probably just stick to handheld gaming, the fighting genre, and indie PC games. Far cheaper and much more rewarding. I think that Metal Gear Solid 4 will be a worthy bang for my step out of the world of hardcore gaming.

I'll still play games but more so the huge blockbuster ones and the games that only appeal to me.

Like say last year the only games I'd get would've been Super Mario Galaxy, Persona 3, and Odin Sphere.

I would also have got like 3 fighting games and 3 handheld games along with a few indie games.

That sounds like alot but keep in mind this is a year. That's like a game a month.

I do get too addicted to games. Hell I got Skies of Arcadia from a friend and have logged in over 40 hours in it in around 2 weeks.

I'm also a very talented animator as well as have great ideas for my own cartoons. But I never have any time to create comics or cartoons cause I'm so busy gaming. Mark my words "Gunraidan" will come to life (my username is based off of it)

Better graphics. Nintendo tries to innovate again, but it's a gimmick that nobody wants to use. All is well again in video game land. Wii will probably still sell more than the next gen consoles for the whole generation..

They come with a vest you can wear, and everytime your character takes damage, so do you.

Keep graphical improvments to a minimum to make games bigger with less loading, more charactors or greater production values w/o driving the cost up. Concentrate on the gameplay and expierence rather then just making it look nice.

What type of games do you like and which Wii games have you tried? Perhaps we could make some recommendations.

Well, shooters are weak right now for the Wii. Good things have been said about Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, especially online, but I can't say personally. Trauma Center: New Blood and Zack & Wiki both make excellent use of the Wiimote, so I would definately recommend people try them. No More Heroes is a crazy experience, but it's definately not for everyone.

Alright its not going to be virtual reality! But its will be gestured based like the wii and normai analog like the 360. But u got think bigger 369 has a huge library of media not even games movies, tv shows, music videos. Now i am a 360 fan but ive had all three consoles once. Hear me out im pretty sure the next microsoft console will bring everything together. Theyown zune so dont be surprised to see the music marketplace on the next gen. It would be awesome to just download songs onto ur xbox from the zune marketpalce. then just put it on ur zune. Also u can almost say goodbye to harcopies of games everything will be downloadable for the LIVE database, same for SONY. There will be hardcopies in stores for ppl without internet but that will not be where the sales come in. And of course the graphics will be better expect to see graphics like crysis on the pc on the xbox console and the sony console. Mostly i expect to see some kinda of Windows based OS on the next console from microsoft. Another big thing dont be surprised to see a APPLE game console thats the only place they havent touched and they just relased the SDK for the iphone proving they can get into the portable gaming scene and have u seen the graphics on that little thing. Most of u say u want less exclusives i agree then the console war would not be between games they would focus on other more important things. But at the same time thats is kinda wat keeps the console war going is keeps there money coming i doubt ull ever see fable or project gotham on sony consoles. Same for metal gear solid and god of war. But im not going to lie the next bungie game will be multiplatform i bet. And Nintendo u need to get ur grip on online gameplay sharing ur console number with somone is retarded. No online community is one downfall the nintendo and PSN. And the next gen will also take technology like Solidstate Drives and how the mac book can display a 1900 x 1200 on a 17 inch monitor. So if u have a regulat 20 inch lcd u to can play at 1080p or higher. Expect better sound all games supporting 7.1 all games built for 7.1 surround sound. And for the bluray disk take that 50 gig disk and use it make a game three 50 gig disk thats a game.
