I keep waiting for a commercial for this game that is like "No hockey to watch? Get NHL 2013 to hold you over until the billionaires and millionaires can stop fighting over pennies."

People again seem to think that supporting the PS3 until 2015 and beyond means that the PS4 won't be out until then, but that obviously isn't necessarily true. I also have to wholeheartedly disagree that it isn't time for a new console. The PS3 has been a good system, but it is no PS2, and even that was replaced after 6 years. The tech is aging; you shouldn't be able to beat the hell out of a console with a $500 computer.

@OreoPoptart @Matthew-first My fat one is still running strong, and it has been abused let me tell you.

@mav_destroyer Well considering the PS4 presumably couldn't possibly come out for at least another year, that means the PS3 will be 7years old before it is replaced. The PS2 may have in theory had a longer life cycle, but really it was replaced after 6 years.

This is why I can't imagine Sony and Microsoft not releasing new consoles next year, they've milked this gen about as much as they can and it is time to move on.

Also funny that Black Ops outsold MW3 (as it should be).

I had no reason to want a table before or after I saw this thing.

@bananaclawz Architecture isn't everything. You think an 8800 gtx or even gts can't keep up with a 7750 8-) ? And that's not necessarily the same or worse than what will end up in the Wii U since all that's been rumored is that it has something based on the 7000 series. And processor specs could be just about anything at this point, but if that is the price I'm not expecting much.

@abHS4L88 @Stonecutters908 I would rather spend $600 on something that actually keeps up with today's technology than waste $250 on some outdated system that can't even keep up with the computer I had six years ago.

I really don't think all that much money is saved by not having as many multimedia features. It still needs a disk reader, and I would personally think it would be more expensive to develop and build a proprietary one than to mass-buy a decent existing one. I found it to be quite an annoyance that Wii didn't have a DVD player, although these days that probably matters a lot less.

We'll see the truth behind all these rumors once Nintendo makes their press release, and once the system gets released, but I'm not holding my breath. I have never been so excited for or let down by a product as I was by the Wii, and I won't make that mistake again.

@Valen_Ca You have a point on the SKU's, but I doubt Nintendo would take the route at all of losing money on a console as they have never done this before. The Wii was $250 six years ago, and it could barely keep up with the GameCube.

@deathblow3 I'm not sure I want to buy a new system with 4-5 year old tech, besides if it is current console tech that's more like 7 or 8 years.

And sure it is the experience that counts, but I can go have lots of great experiences on a SNES or something, but that doesn't mean I want them to release something with the same specs as that next month.
