Bring out the new consoles already!

Xbox launched in 2005, I mean come on man. Does it really take 6 years to bring out a new console? I heard that the new consoles are coming out in 2013-2015.

That seems about right, but if it only comes out in 2015 it'll have been 10 years.

10 years... That's like a 7th of your lifetime.

Meh, give it another 2 years. The Xbox 360 still feels like a relatively fresh piece of technology to me, and I'm sure there's still many innovative games that can be squeezed out of it. The last thinkg Microsoft is going to do is release a console just next year when the Kinect released just last year.

why would you want to spend $500+ on a new console? i mean the generation is the best one yet, its lasted long and it has no signs of stopping, we do NOT need new consoles yet, nor will we in the near future...keep your money

Why would i want to over $600 on a new concole?

I'm still loving my 360!

we don't need new consoles until at least 2014, anything sooner and it would barely be better than the 360.

yea but console's are never up to PC standards when they are released, they would be to expensive to make and for most consumers to purchase. consoles are usually at least 2 years behind PC, so if a new Xbox console comes out in 2 years, it will prolly run what we are seeing on PC's right now.

be patient. you'll hear about new consoles at E3 in 2013. Xbox and Playstation are both probably going to announce something. 2011 was about Kinect and Move, just to hold us over. Nintendo has already announced the WiU (which is still not as powerful as the xbox360 or ps3, surprise surprise). Also sony is bringing out the new Vita handheld too. So just be patient man, Microsoft will have something better than Kinect games in 2012

WiiU comes out summer next year....so i hope ps4 and 720 come out a 2 years after...

from what I have read from developers that are working on Wii U titles, it is more powerful than the Xbox 360 and PS3 but it's not enough of a jump to be considered "next-gen" more of a catchup and barely surpassing for a year or two until Sony and Microsoft come out with their true next-gen consoles.

Why? What makes you want a new console so bad? Kids these days and their ADD and ADHD...

I love the Xbox 360 and PS3. I have a respectable collection of games for both of them. I they came out with a new console tomorrow, I wouldn't buy it until they stopped making Xbox and PS3 games. Unless it was a hybrid system that would allow you to play both Xbox 360 and PS3 games, but this magical hybrid would NEVER happen. Microsoft and Sony would lose all their profit.

I don't want to be 22 years old when the next console comes out, the one after that I'll probably 32.

I'm just like wtf that's half my life.

Here's an idea. Don't waste your life sitting around waiting for new consoles. Just enjoy the games as they come.

LOL!!!!!!!!!

u clearly have no understanding of technology, nor were u even at E3 this year (i was!!!) Wii U will be many times more powerful, but until we see a bigger change in hardware from Msoft and sony, the wii u will be lumped with cross ports with new control schemes again (but this time the graphics will actually be better on the nintendo system, no need to sacrifce AA or resolution).

wait and see :D

I agree we dont need new consoles yet for at least another 2 years and it would be stupid to to bring new consoles while the current gen of consoles selling like hot cakes.

I would bet anything that the next gen consoles will not retail for over $450, and probably will be less than that. The entire industry saw the disaster that happened when the PS3 launched at $600. I think a $400 console is probably the most we will see.

I live in a third world country I make R20 an hour (just over $2 an hour) and I can afford a Xbox360.

If you can't do that in a first world country I want to know what drug you blow your cash on, cause it must be amazing.

I'm having fun with my 360, and after playing Skyrim I know it's still capable of great quality games.

Again 600€ for a system that will keep me at my toes wondering if the RRoD are back? No thanks.

It's true, I live in South Africa. I made a mistake with the conversions though it's more like $4. From what I've heard minimum wage in America is $300 a week. I could do a lot with that money.

Minimum wage in South Africa is R12.50, so I'm happy to be earning what I earn.

Minimum wage for domestic workers is even less.

I want the new console, because tesselation is awesome, but, because this gen can't do tesselation, barely any devs willing to invest in true DX11 quality games. With a new console improving the standard, I can finally see real DX11 games.magicalclick

its not because this gen can't, it can (xbox 360 can), its just that devs DONT WANT to put the effort in

When I'm 80 and my body is falling apart and my family stops visiting me I'm going to be good friends with Halo 9 or 10 by then.

NOPE! Not needed right now, by 2015 it will be perfect. Consoles should live for at least 10 years before killing them

NO CONSOLE SUPPORTS DX, its a PC API thingo. look it up on google, but hte 360 can do tesselation but it always gets forgotten about. heck, some old GPUS could do it as well but it was never taken advantage of. tesselation IS NOT NEW.

They will bring a new consol when the old ones stop selling and xbox360 is still rather succesfull!(I'm wandering who is still buying them anyway...)

It is the state of the worldwide ecomony more than anything that is delaying the next generation of consoles. Microsoft is hoping by 2013 the economy will be improved enough by then.

I would like the third Xbox to be released, but MS is playing it safe by waiting until things improve.

Why would M$ create a new console and kill the 360? It's still reeling in money and with Xbox Live you have added revenue there as well. Games are still great and are just now beginning to really push the 360 to its limits and I for one love that. It'll be a year or 2 in the new console cycle before developers really get the hang of it and start producing great games. Economically it would make more sense for them to delay the next Xbox for a little while longer. We're in a recession here, most people will not be that excited to purchase a new console.wwervin

No kidding. Heck, nearly a million 360s (I believe 960,000 is the exact number) were sold on Black Friday alone. The 360 is still going strong.

[QUOTE="x-2tha-z"] How? Xbox 360 doesn't support DX11. I think it just has some modified type of DX9.penpusher

ok, yes its true that it uses a similar form of direct X (in this case Direct3D), but its become so different from PC DX since the consoles are fixed hardware and PCs can keep changing that a lot of the stuff u couldnt do in DX9 on a PC can be achieved with work arounds on the 360 (ie tesselation)
