Lol. Kinda too soon. So MS and Sony already recognizing that current gen consoles will be a failed gen.

Microsoft is incapable of committing to a product unless it's an instant success.

I feel sorry for the Xbone guys. Support will be cut in under 2 years.

Why would anyone be surprised?

It's always like this

They are always in development. Do you think those people just sit on their asses for a year when a system has been released?

Yet they still support the 360

"next gen consoles are already on their respective company drawing boards"

As in, both companies are already looking at the next product

Sure thing,if you say so.

360 is somewhat of a success.

I'm talking about the Xbone, which is currently selling far lower than the 360 is.

Microsoft is gonna throw a temper-tantrum and say that this gen doesn't count.

I play games with my sister and when I own her ass, she throws a hissy fit and claims that that round doesn't count. Microsoft is doing the same thing.

Now look at SONY. PS3 was a disaster when it first arrived. Did SONY act like a baby and cry about how "unfair" it is? No, they stuck with their product until the end. MS is a cancer in the gaming industry and they must leave for the benefit of all gamers.

SONY will wait until at least 6 years.

Microsoft is rushing for a 2016 release. What a bunch of babies.

Prove it

My guess is that this gen will last about 5 years. To me it doesn't come as a surprise that they next thing is already on the drawing board.

they have always started working on the next console as soon the current one releases..nothing new here.

besies its not too soon since these consoles were released under powered compared to what they should have been..they should def return to a 5 year life cycle.

perfectly normal.

a shorter gen also makes sense. last gen went on too long. a gen should only be 5-6 years.

just seems to be MS and sony though with this announcement.

nintendo, of course, are also in the process of making their next console. could it be Nvidia/ARM based?

You sound like a cancer

it's gonna be a short gen I think anyways. They pushed out some rather weak hardware

Link just said they already started

lolz

The X1 has outpaced the 360 in sales in the first 6 months so far.

And without MS there would be no competition and we all know what happens when one company rules all.

No shit. Once something is released by a company they immediately start developing the new version. You think these companies just sit there twiddling their thumbs for four years? This really isn't exactly a profound statement. I already knew this was happening. This is how you release products on time.

MS would love an early new start to a generation, Sony not so much. Personally I hope this gen lasts at least 7 years. This year almost doesn't even count as we have got next to nothing as far as content for out new generation.

Not surprising that there already in early planning stages for there next console they don't just decide at the last few months before release what kind of console to release. And a shorter life span then last gen should be expected both consoles are packing relatively weak hardware this time around especially the Xbox One compared to last gen. If they where aiming for another 7-8 year cycle we would have seen consoles with 3-4 Teraflop gpu's in them at least if not 4-5 but thats not the case.

Not really. This generation will last at least 5-6 yrs minimum. I can see Nintendo releasing a new console within the next 2 years, but Sony & M$ won't. If they do decided to release a new console after 6yrs, I hope they make it upgradable like a PC. Then gamers will just need to buy a more power card with CPU/GPU/RAM etc on it and shove it into the system. Game consoles will never be far from PC specs again.

pretty sure they'll never make it an upgradeable system. More likely they'll try to move toward streaming gaming

PRO-VERSIONS!!!!

There is so much wrong here.You should feel embarrassed.

I feel sorry for clueless trolls like yourself who are always wrong. lol!! XBox One will be around long past 2 years. The XBox 360 is in its 9th year and still getting exclusives like Horizon 2, Fable Anniversary and probably Halo 2 Anniversary as well.

I know right? That PS2 era was just so bad for gamers. I have never heard someone say the PS2 was a good system or anything.

Isn't it like this every gen? I remember that the first 360 prototype was leaked like in 2003 and had something similar to a Radeon 9800Pro. Once they release a system they always start planning for the next one.

Bro, let's be honest here. They haven't given the 360 meaningful support since like 2011. Who the hell do you think you're fooling?

No shit, they can barely achieve 1080p60fps. Oh wait gameplay is the only thing that matters :3

stop whining you babies and get a real job so you can actually afford said systems..

Generations shouldn't be more then 5 years.. 5 years max after that the hardware is so damn old its a joke..

That being said if we have shorter gens but full backward compatibility then there would be nothing to complain about.

Bring on the short gens! Stop being pussies.

What with one retail game a year?

Lol when was the last time 360 got a good exclusive?

LOL, 360 is dead and abandoned by MS.

Article pulled?

Exactly my thoughts. Page not found.

Someone put the smack down.

except the XO is selling much more then the 360 to this point. Then MS lost a ton of money by extending out the RROD warranty by like 4 years. and it launched a year earlier then the PS3 and is still being supported

Leave the fecal matter alone. Don't let it stink.

What are you talking about? Titanfall, Forza Horizon 2 etc

Glad I didn't purchase one then. They are already turning into a tragic gen. Delayed games, sub-par resolution, subscription for online...

I also have to laugh about the "unless its a success" because they just made a surface 3 pro and the surface has not been a success and neither was the zune and that stuck around for a long time

whats the draing board for?

you got a PC CPU

PC GPU

PC hard disk drive

PC bluray drive

PC memory modules

PC ports

PC connections

PC tech motherboard with pci-e controllers memory controllers...

underclock them (a lot)

put then inside a cheap plastic case

done, thats your nex next gen console

Titanfall was EA :s

No way, these consoles are going to last 10 years, we won't see new consoles before 2020, both MS & Sony want a 10 year lifespan

So? Games are still being released on the 360 and updates and apps

Let's say they were, what makes them babies? Are you like 10, is that how you see business decisions as emotional outbursts?

The only one crying is you. Unless you have factual quotes to back up these claims.

God some of you are either stupid or 10.

Right. Someone made up a bogus article me thinks. Even if Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are working on new consoles, that doesn't mean the current ones are going anywhere anytime soon. Like I said, minimum 5-6 years these systems will be on the market.
