The guy from VGCharts needs to rewrite his analysis in English. "...despite no producting" WTF?

I'm just now looking to getting a 360 so 5 years doesn't piss me off. What will is if I get one and within 3 months they release a quieter, cooler running 360 with HDMI and a bigger HDD for XBL content.

We all know sony is already working on the PS4 code named the "we're sorry we're really really sorry' And Nintendo is working on their next system code named the "asscrack"

@snaileb
for you am sure nintendo will include a 6" spike on it.

bhive...wait till at least May! Black 360 might come out then

Okama Gamesphere!

"the picture above looks like guilty spark from halo to me... "

I think that was the idea behind the concept. It may even bear that name.

@bhive01

There was something on Joystiq about it this morning, something about some place has leaked info, but no one has confirmed it, so its just a rumor. But IMO, I think it will happen.

Oh, and comparativly speaking, the Xbox did not sell well.

I know it will. MS is just keeping it on the DL like Rosewell. I KNOW.. for a FACT.. unless I have ALL THESE.. industry people lying to me. But Im not a blogger so I wont get reemed for saying.. "THIS IS REAL".

Shit. As soon as I make a decision and ask for help in the forums on where to get the best deal on a 360, this 'rumor' rears its ugly head again. Oh well, I've still got my Wii. I need to finish Zelda and play some more Monkey Ball I guess. I'll keep my money in the bank and re-evaluate when the time comes. Perhaps the PS3 will look better by then. Maybe I'll change my mind and get a Sony console for the first time. Who knows. Damnit.

Herein lies the bigger problem that MS and Sony can't address.

Where do you go from here? Faster processor and graphics cards lead to where?

Graphics are at 1080p now. Whatelse is there? You can't get much more realistic, and I have a hard time believing they're going to go through the whole rig-a-marole of launching a console for motion sensing.

I think Sony's 10 year plan is about the only saving grace to their wall they've hit. Sony knows that there isn't much more they can do with what's out there right now. In almost every console generation the gap between PC/Arcade/console has gotten closer together and now consoles are essentially high end PC's with subsidized pricing.

I think Nintendo's been ahead of the curve on the Wii. Yeah it may not have 1080p graphics or bleeding edge capacities on the media, but at least the next Wii will guaranteedly have HD support. What's MS planning on doing?

dvddesign

For once I agree with you! The only thing that Sony and MS can really do is improve on graphics really as well as being faster becuase I think motion sensor controllers will not be "next-gen" for the next-gen (or this gen). Thought controlled games is SOOOO next-gen.

The Wii is innovative...and thats as far as I can go with that, I would rather have good graphics over and gameplay over shoddy graphics and (what I believe to be) bad motion sensing overload. The Wii motion never seemed consistant, one min its not sensitive enough (driving games) and then it's over sensitive. I found the sixaxis to be more level and easier to steer.

i like what dvddesign said... the next step for them is their hd drives included and bigger harddrive to download games? and then TRY to innovate something but have it fail?

Like others i gotta agree with DvdDesign... at this point, it seems like a new console in about 5 years would have very marginally better graphics, and maybe include a few other things like hddvd and bigger harddrive, and maybe run a little faster... but overall, it's not gonna be too worthwhile. And can you imagine what the next xbox may cost, include some better hardware, possible built in hddvd, etc, and we maybe looking at $500-$600 for a console that's only a little better then the last one (at least with there was a strong leap between PS3 and PS2)... Really, poeple scoffed at sony aiming for a 10 year lifespan, but when you think about how little there is to go in terms of graphics, well, 10 years seems like a much smarter aim than 5.

I also agree, with the wii holding back on graphics, it's next consloe and splurge on improved graphics at a price which will be lower than the next xbox... so it still will hold a place... so we may see a new nintendo system in the next 5-6 years...

Thinking about all this makes thoughts of getting a PS3 over a 360 a little easier (if i cna't get both)... it may be a LONG time till the next PS, but only half that time for a 360... methinks despite it being more expensive now, PS3 might get me more bang for my buck in the long run. I mean, i'm already thinking i'm gonna wait another year before i get a new system (endless list of unplayed PS2 games keep me happy), and that's just another year off of 360s shorter lifespan...

see* lolz

OF COURSE! It is almost 100% fact that just about IMMEDIATELY after a console release, talk and design and concept start on the next console. They start immediately with the brainstorming and deciding what they want it to do and what not.

ALL companies do it, not just M$ and Sony, but also Nintendo.

Unless we get horse armor for free no way! That mock up photo is pretty cool though.
