So, I have been reading alot of articles concerning new consoles in development lately. But, are the current consoles really maxed out yet? I don't think they are, and to be honest, I am tired of paying for new hardware because of lazy developers. When are any of the big three going to step up and live up to the promises made when new hardware is released? At the beginning of this generation, you had Sony talking about the PS3 as a ten year console. NOW, there are reports of PS4 being in development. I am also now seeing reports that MS is possibly launching a new console by as early as next summer. The only one that doesn't surprise me is the new Wii. That thing was underpowered day one, and as you can clearly see now, it just can't compete with the big dogs in this generation. It started strong, but has clearly lost whatever it was that made it an early contender.

You know, it's not so much the price of new hardware that has me miffed and contemplating giving up my second favourite hobby. No, it's the fact that absolutely NONE of the big three live up to the self-generated hype the put out there right before they launch said new must-have hardware.
