Also PCs nowadays can be already easily more powerful than 4-6 times the xbox 360, just think at how in few years we saw multi core CPUs, and how we can easily see 8x core platforms, and also how the graphics on a good PC can litteraly obliterate those of the consoles. I think that they should really upgrade the system as much as they can as Id like to see some serious improvements in the next gen. While comparing the same game on PC and consoles one of the things that most easily pops at the eye is the viewing distance of the map items and details, this causes the console problems of "pop ups". In the next gen I want to be able to be able to see ALL the biggest items and most of the details from any wieving distance, that for me is the minimum requirement for a significant advancement that would justify a new console. Also I don't want the new xbox to sound like a vacuum cleaner, I would have gone mad for the sound if they didn't add the possibility to install your games on the HD
This Carmack guy said nintendo outsold both ps3 and xbox 360, truth is selling the console isn't everything, and the wii is the console which has the lowest game per player ratio, meaning that many console are sold, but very ew games are, while 360 and ps3 found good money in online markets and a stable fanbase. I say they keep bosting the power of console for next gen, this way they'll be more prepared when new technologies come
San Andreas wasn't released for the gamecube. GTA IV couldn't be released for the Wii. GTA V won't ever be on the WiiU, bet anything, they just won't do it. Maybe they'll make another cheap chinatown wars like game.Also making it for this particular system wouldn't make much sense, as it's without doubt the game wich is most criticized for it's violence ever, and Nintendo has become synonimous of "casual and family games", even though it did try to appeal to core gamers (without success IMHO).
The console didn't even came out and third parties are already backing out. It already seems like nintendo will be the only one making good stuff, as they always did, so no revolution here.
Seriously, it pisses me off when someone doesn't realize that : WE ARE the people, WE ARE those gamers who like explosions, shooting and action. Only because of a sudden realization that games were you don't virtually kill stuff are actually pretty cool too doesn't mean they are better. The industry is just making the titles people want, let everyone enjoy their games, I'm okay with 50yo playing nintendogs, I sincerely couldn't care more, I don't see the reason to piss off the people who like hardcore games.
