This guy has to be kidding!? So in 2 years, I have to buy new consoles again! I have to get a new DS, PSP, and Wii!

its not dat hard to believe, PSP and the DS r already being pushed to its limits, andbesides dat, handhelds arent shudnt to last dat long, obviously bcz of the downscaled processing power.



the WII (dont own one btw) surprises me. how it managed to flourish amongst the other powerhouses. probably bcz it was aimed for the mass public, but even they will adapt to the wii pretty soon, and demand more frm it, which it isnt capable of. the motion sensing appeal wont last very long.



the 360 too will b pushed to its limit early next year if not, mayb even this year. dat and along with the fact dat the PC's next gen hardware will b able to beat it in the blink of an eye makes me think how it will last for a decade.



the ps3 was probably singled out bcz its capable of so much more. developers r adapting to the Cell processor, once they r mature enough, they too can implement wii-like motion sensing in games, even better graphics and so much more. but i doubt if it will last 10 years. didnt sony say dat the ps3 can hav additional peripheral's in the future? if dat happens, then mayb it will last 10 years



PS: i dont own any of the consoles besides the DS and the PSP. so dont call me a fanboy

You're going to have to buy the blu-ray version of those machines.

How could nintendo change their consoles when they still can't ship enough for the demand (not even 2 years before they "should" pop up their new console).



Also, for M$, yes, they could release a new console around 2010, like everyone would thing, this would make M$ loose so much money that they couldn't say they made profits in all those years, but it would totally destroy (or gift) the PS3. Destroy if the industry follow M$, and gift the ps3 if the industry don't wanna move this fast (they just paid for unreal engine, can't they do 2 games with it? lol). But I'd say that the industry would not go with M$... Maybe small fry devs who want some glory, but no big time studio. Studios invested a lot for this gen, they need to make more games per console.



Finally, I'd say this guy is really wierd. lol. I wonder if he can predict wich color will be his skin when he check in the mirror next time, lol.



Anyway, for M$ it's possible, without any good chances.

Uh... DS and PSP came out 4 years ago. 2 years time we'll have a new one. 5-7 years is the running figure for new consoles.

You must be very young!

New consoles come out every 5-7 years so *shrugs*. Nothing new here.



So long as they're backwards compatible and KEEP backwards compatible I'll be happy. Oh and I won't be buying games if their prices keep going up. I'm happy with £30 Wii games but £50 PS3/360? Ouch.

You are most likely mistaken, the PSP was capable of executing code within the firmware itself, whereas this is run using a game, unless we start writing our own firmware module for PS3 this seem unlikely at best. btw, your message had no relevance to my post.

it's always been 4-5 years between new systems....

the xbox360 has a much easier HDD upgrade,no screws, but u have to buy microsoft which is gay, it also is firmware upgradeable, only 2 times a year but its better than getting an update every 3 months that doesnt add much



the wii might get a hdd upgrade, and it has sd cards, the wii isnt a media hub so u dont need mass storage, and again its firmware upgradeable,



why are sony trying to make out that there console is the only one able to do this

Well I have to agree with the guy but wish i could also get paid for stating the obvious.

PS3 is on a steady rise.

360 has made a major breakthrough with regards to sales and aggresive marketing and games that players want.

Nintendo has surprised everyone and now has an excess cash to move forward.



My analysis is that the PS3 will continue a little longer than 360 and Nintendo as it has many components that are easily changed via revisions and its cpu architecture is far from exhausted and developers are going to get more out of it.

The 360 has started to gain ground but will need to develop faster as by 2010 the PS3 capabilities and the developers will have games that in all probability are graphically capable of more than the present 360.

Nintendo on its new wave of success may well move in on an area where many fanboys of PS3 and 360 are saying its not really a real graphical competitor. Some even state its not a games console?

Well thats a matter of discussion but the markets do not lie and the nintendo is selling faster than dunking doughnuts. So I cannot believe that management at Nintendo would be so stupid as to let this new wave of base users stagnate by rehashing. Like it or not I for one expect nintendo to go all out with its new found wealth and go grab an ever bigger piece of the pie.

Regardless of everything all i can say is what a great time to be playing games. All consoles regardless of choice are getting bigger badder better.

He means Nintendo will need to introduce a new console by 2010 because the Wii is already long obsolete and does not include features that even the PS2 had in 2000 such as a DVD player and Dolby digital 5.0 sound. Also since nearly all TVs will be high definition its about time Nintendo supported it even though they like making over $100 on each console they sell, they won't be able to sell obsolete hardware for long.

its more of a reply to raggedjimmi...ur comparing psps grpahics to DS graphics..your not serious are you!



oh by the way..this motion sensor thing that people are sayin PS3 copied form the WII...ps1 had motion sensors...so i dont know where these people are going with all that sh^t...and the WII flourishes...im guessing u play SUper smash bros with ur freinds all the time.. yea i own a ps3 too im not making fun of ya im jus saying..the psp is bettter than the ds any time day year month..lol u get the idea
