Does anybody have an idea when the next generation of XBOX, PlayStation or Wii are coming out?
It's about time they release new consoles!

Dude it's way too early. way way too early. Personally if we see a new gen before 2011 I was be greatly disappointed . By 2011 the 360 will be 6 and the PS3/Wii will be 5 . I could see Microsoft jumping the gun again and releasing a new console fall 2010 though.

Agreed with jak.
It's really early but I do know to confirm something that 2011 will have to be the year they release the new one's.

lol these machines haven't been out for that long but we can all say it'll be least a few more years whether sits 2011 or 2012

I hope it lasts longer than that. Consoles are turning into an investment sorta, and if they get replaced so soon then hot darn I'll be extremely upset.

PS3 should go til like 2013 minimum I think. Xbox will probably last til like 2011. Wii....I don't even know but for some reason I dont see that console getting outdated. Haha

How long a console lasts and when the new gen start are 2 different things. I mean PS1 was still getting games in 1999/2000 and I believe 2001, PS2 will have games coming for at least 2-3 years. PS3 will be getting games till about 2014.

It is too early for those but a Xbox hand held will be coming out soon. Can you say Halo Portable. :)

Really doubt Microsoft will jump into the handheld market.

That would ruin the handheld market if they did I think

Besides portable systems, don't they release a new console every 4 years? It seems like a pattern to me.

Home consoles are generally 5, Xbox broke that because they were getting raped by production costs.

Ok then. I usually just follow Nintendo but it seems that they all release new ones around the same time.

they are young dude. as a good round number i will 2015.

lol, 2015.. that'd be insane if they all chose they. 10 for 360 and 9 for the other 2.. lol not happening, I think nearly every gamer would start getting annoying by the 7th or 8th year.

more people would just do PC gaming rather than console gaming lol, i already started lol

yeah i think if you want the best just go with pc. granted it costs more but you get better graphics and you don't have to be tied down with just one console. but i would defenitly say it is way too early to have a new console out there. i know people who still play on the regular last gen consoles.

jakncoke
03-19-2008, 10:28 AM
I could never go PC only. I like console controls better+there is way more games that interest me.

With production and purchase costs getting so high, I think a new console coming out in 3 years would anger almost everyone. Especially with PS3 still not at full potential. Some people still haven't upgraded from last gen, since they are so young. I think that this gen will be young for another couple years.

I forsee this generation of gaming lasting twice as long as the last.

There's no way anything will get realeased for at leased another 3 or 4 years, I don't think Nintendo will be releasing another handheald for a while since the DS is such a hit.

Well I did read somewhere Sony want PS3 to have at least a 10 year life span so that would take PS3 to 2016/2017

03-22-2008, 08:12 PM
Well I read somewhere that Sony are already thinking up ideas for the next one.... And they want all the games to be downloadable

RYPW
03-22-2008, 09:50 PM
No doubt PS4 is in development. But if all games did become downloadable where would that leave people who dont have the internet? Also it would bean end to shops like Game and Gamestation unless instead of buying discs you bought vouchers that you redeemed online to download the games.

If they switched over to download-only games i'd say "F*** you Sony!" and go to some other company.

I very much enjoy my physical media. VERY much.

I'm against the music industry's shift to digital media., I enjoy cd's for the cover art and stuff. Plus, my computers mess up too much to trust it. And I hate burned cds.

RYPW
03-23-2008, 12:21 PM
But microsoft also want to go the download route so that would probably just leave you with Nintendo.

To be honest though I an against just having downloadable games however I would prefer to have a choice to either buy a physical disc or download the game. Games will probably end up on memory sticks or USB drives anyway :D

My big problem with downloading games is that nobody in my family has a credit card so we couldn't get them :(
I'm sure that you will still be able to buy them in stores... hopefully.

Don't feel left out. Even though my parents have CC's, they wouldnt let me use them for gaming or nuthing like that, as they always think its unsafe..

With as fast as new components are developed for the PC gaming market, the processing power of the next-next-gen consoles will be more than doubled withen the next 5 years. I think withen 5-6 years of any given consoles release date, is about when there given company releases the idea of there new systems, and withen 18 months of that, a new system should be on store shelves. Me personally, my 360 will more than likely be the last console system I own for the next few generations. Until the makers of displays catch up to the consoles, I don't foresee the increased graphic prowess looking that much better on what will become the standard of 1080p HDTVs. But thats just me.

You misinterpreted what Sony meant then. PS3 will no doubt be around a long time but the PS4 will defiantly be released while PS3 is still on the market, just like when the PS2 was released when PS1 was still on the market. Sony is defiantly well known for long life spans for consoles.

PS1- Dec 3rd 1994 till March 23 2006.. production ended( although it was dead for some time)

Ps2- March 4 2000 till ???, the way it's going I dunno.. It may still be relevant console for 2 or 3 more years and then the die period will start.. hell we might see the PS2/3/4 all on the market at the same time.

I hope the buying/selling of PS2 games never stops. It's the console everyone buys for. If I went to gamestop and couldn't get ps2 games anymore...well i just wouldn't buy from gamestop anymore.

WTF An Xbox Handheald that's just a rumour. Plus I doubt they would call it that... That just doesn't sound right.

Oh... a sub 3 pound 360/PS3.... very nice. And and and... a Blu-ray addon for the 360..... and standard 400Gb harddrives all around.... and a 1080p version of the Wii.... and Wii-esque controls for the 360/PS3..... and no more console specific games. Metal Gear Solid, Halo, and Mario on every system!!!!

jakncoke
04-10-2009, 04:43 PM
standard 400Gb harddrives all around


soon enough, Sony likes playing HDD musical chairs this gen. I am wondering when they intend on making the 160gb the small version HDD and introducing a bigger HDD so they can keep there 400/500 price model of fail, I totally see them doing that at E3, instead of lowering the price like everyone wants/needs to happen increase more HDD and maybe throw in a game or two to go with the bu bu extra valuez and stuff choose us over the Wii/360.

I know of a new wii that is coming out. Nothing big really. A little better pgrfics, new black color, and more memory space.

There is also a new xbox that is coming out that you don't need controllers for..Its like a wii... but without controllers and Xbox Live.

I don't think either will be so great :/

Your sources for Wii because it sounds like straight BS, Why in blue hell would Nintendo mix things up when they are outselling everything and making loads of money to boot. And as for Natal for Xbox..I agree it'll be terrible.

I actually heard about the new wii also
and I heard they were going to make a red nintendo dsi i think also
and I am definitely not going to buy this new xbox they are making from project natal it will probably suck and it will be expensive anyways

Well Iwata(head of nintendo) just spoke recently and squashed rumors of such a thing. I'll take Iwata word over baseless speculation any day of the week. As for Red DSI that's not really a new system, just a color addition, those occur all the time. And as for Wii Perhaps you heard about the Black Wii and misinterpreted

I'd say 2011 they'll announce it won't be til about 2013 or 14 that they actually start appearing and we'll be looking at prices around 1000 1200 dollars.

The game industry would collapse. The PS3 proved that anything about 400 is no go territory.
