Should there be a console after the PS3 and 360

ithink ms should make a new one just becasue of rrod and all the problems with the system.... it doesnt have to b that great but just deal with rrod once and for allseventy5cent832

Totally agree. For this kind of money you should have a less repair prone console and a 3 year warranty

I think that MS should come up with a new version of the 360, per se.

It'd be fitted with blu-ray, the problems would be fixed, the power would be toned up and that's it. Almost like a new SKU. Not a totally new console for devs to try and figure out.

I think a new console should come in like 2012 or something, or longer.

Of course there should be another console! we were stupid enough to freeze technological advances for 500 years of the dark ages! limiting ourselves on what can be achieved through human ingenuity is a step backwards! imagine where we could be now!! technology is developing faster and faster! its exciting to think what could come next!!

the sooner the better i say!

i am actually a little annoyed by this passive hippy topic!

Well, there will of course be a new console, but I'm hoping they don't announce one until 2012. I need to get the most out of my 360, but watch a new one be announced at this year or next year's E3.imakillaholic

NO consoles ruin peolps lives, there r to many violent video games ;)

yeah make in like 5 years from now, it cost to much to buy a console like every 5 years... at a pay of 400-600.

Like every product the consoles grow, mature and then the last stage is the decline. All three console producers will need a new product to gain interest, grow and mature. It's a cycle that can't be broken unless the consoles become exactly like pcs with upgradable parts etc etc. That'll never happen anyway.Scroll-Lock

Well that depends on what EA has in store for us. I personally hope there will be just one console in the future.

On one side it's going to happen whether you or I want it to or not. It's the way it's always been and always will be. Technology advances and they make new products to showcase it.

On the other side, I'd have been happy if they stopped with the snes. It's not like games have really gotten any more fun since the early consoles. They have just changed in the way of how people get there fun.

I have all the consoles up to the current generation (ie 360) and I play my DS about 50 times more than any of my consoles. Why? because it's simple fun and that's what I play games for in the first place.

I wish they'de stop and just make the most solid product they could over years and years of refinement but it's just not going to happen. They will continue to create new systems with new problems and just when they get them refined to the point of showing true potential they'll move on to another system. It's just the way it is.

I second that. I would like to see one console in the future as well. It makes sense, developers do not have deal with exclusivity rights, porting, developing for multiple consoles with different architecture (I.E. PS3 to 360). It also eliminates fanboyism which is is a huge black mark on the face of gaming community.

Someone would counter the this with the argument for competition, but that doesn't really seem to be an issue when you break down console wars. It has never been about who can build the better gaming machine but gaining exclusives two generations in a row the Playstation had the weakest hardware but come out on top both gens. If there was only one console the only competition left is the only competition that is needed who can develop the better game.

If this were to ever come true the only way it would happen is if the major console manufacturers would have to co-develop it. I highly doubt that one console would ever be able to shut out the others completely.

well should car companies stop making cars and say people should just use the cars that are out there now? Well that will never happen with new technology making them better and not mentioning the money they will gain. Same thing with the console there will be new technology making the console way better then the previous and they still want to make money.raylewisnfl52

not what im talking about here. Cars can definetly evolve more and more, but these systems are just fine where they are. I dont know how you can get much better.

There shouldn't be cos these two consoles are the buddies of our lifes. If another console comes out anytime, wats the use of having these 2 consoles? Like spending 700 dollars on a console for 4 years? It should be more than 10 yrs or so.
