So, Gears of war 3 is announced for april 2011, that'll be about 6 years after the xbox 360 came out. im expecting an announcements soon after the release of GeOW3 about the next gen xbox 360. not a bad way to go out, even tho im not a fan of the series

since Mass Effect 3 is supposed to release on the 360 i'd postpone that to at least 2012

No, that was supposed to be a long time ago seeing as people were expecting Gears 3 for the Xbox 720.

I think you could use Natal on the next xbox, makes sense for MS to do that.

No. 360 will have plenty of hurrahs. Enough with the last hurrahs and "final nails in the coffin". All the consoles will be here for a while. When we start seeing builds of games on the PS4, Xbox 1080, Nintendo FamilyFunStation in mags and stuff, that's when you need to start counting down the days, and even then I don't think anyone will abandon these systems as fast as the XBox and Gamecube last gen.

I heard that about Gears1, then Halo3, then Gears2, then Mass Effect2, then Halo Reach and now Gears3. Im sure ppl will say the same about Mass Effect3 and so on...

In fact 360 have been proving haters wrong every single year :P

I hope so... Because I'm really tired of these old consoles.

Games can look, play and feel so much better with newer hardware.

But then again Natal is supposed to extend 360's life span... By how long is a mystery.

IMO they should just keep the 360 on the market like the PS2 and release a new system.

I don't think Gears is the last hurrah.... but.... Can I just say. Even if Gears 3 is it's "last hurrah". It's great the 360 has lasted well beyond the usual "5 year" life cycle. I know PS2 is still going, but it's last MAJOR game was GOW2 I think? Good on 360 for still getting MASSIVE games like Mass Effect 2, Halo Reach, Red Dead Redemption, Crysis 2, Gears 3, etc, etc, well into it's 6th and 7th years.

no, i think this gen still has about 2-3 years left in it (for 360 and PS3 at least) because of the release of the move and natal

if they weren't planning to keep these consoles around for much longer then the would be wise to just release the move and natal at release for the next gen consoles

we really don't need any graphic upgrades for awhile (NO...we really don't you damn graphic whores) and these two techs really add new ways to play so they feel like their own mini consoles really

No, the 360 has many more good things to come. PS3 on the other hand, i think it will die out at the end of 2010.

Developers are barely able to afford HD development and then have a small userbase to worry about. Heck HD development is still regarded expensive, i dont think anybody is in a rush for a new system.
