I think it's been like 4 years since a new console (PSP Go doesn't count). Does anyone think that there should be new consoles or do you think that the current add ons to old consoles (EX: PS3 move)?

There is still alot to accomplish on these current consoles (except maybe the Wii) so why rush another console out if it isn't drastically better then the previous installment. PS3 and 360 keep pumping out newer and improved upon current gen consoles that attempt to fix flaws and upgrade over launch consoles.

The only console that I would love to see get a complete overhaul would be the Wii, I would love for it to have better graphics and the capability of playing dvds.

I don't think Sony is in any rush to release a new console since they took a big hit early on in the PS3, and I don't think they want to get in another arms race with Microsoft since Microsoft can incur more costs in seeking market dominance than Sony. Plus, there's always the big risk of releasing a new console and publishers not being so eager to make games for it, for instance a new console with just a few million units out will sell less of a game than a console with tens of millions of units with gamers to buy their games. I do think though that on the next console they'll release around the same time. I think it was a mistake for MS to release early, after all in a way that was like showing their competitors all their cards allowing them in to copy those same features in their systems. Anyhow, I give it another 2 to 3 years before we see another console. Also there's the issue with where software developers and publishers are these days, and we've seen lots of studios go out of business, and some of the studios that are still around take more time to make their games. I don't think anybody is in a position to make the next gen leap just yet.

New consoles are a long way off. Playstation 4 and Xbox 3 and Nintendo 6. Are not coming anytime soon. If I was Nintendo I'd start working on the next console now. But Nintendo having sold about 73 million wii consoles which is way better than the 24 million gamecubes sold last gen. Will rest on their laurels until it is actually time for Nintendo #6. They should start work on their 8th gen console now.

The only thing that you can say is that Sony's next Console will be called Playstation 4.

Nintendo and Microsoft what they end up naming their next console ?

Wii needs a makeover. I know graphics don't make a game but who wouldn't love a good looking game with bad-a$$ gameplay.

I don't see any new consoles arriving for at least another few years. Sony and Microsoft put tons of money into development of they're respective motion devices, so I don't see them suddenly abandoning them without at least earning a strong profit from them first. Besides, this generation still feels like its got plenty more life in it. I'd think that it there would be some sort of signs if this generation were on its way out.

I'm sure they're working on they're next systems -- that's always one of the first things on the drawing board after releasing a new system -- but they're likely still in the conceptual stages.

I actually think it's possible that there won't be any new consoles at all for atleast 5 years cause add ons seem to be replacementfor consoles.

Yeah I agree with you guys... There's simply no need for new consoles yet. And I don't think Sony & Microsoft are in any hurry to release them either. Still a few years away I reckon.

I don't think there is much they can add to consoles yet so there is no rush to create new ones.

There is no meaningful benefit to introducing new consoles anytime soon.

I don't really see much need for a new console - it's not like we're going from standard def to hi def, or DVD to Blu ray, or making any of those major changes. I'd be perfectly happy with an improved version of current consoles - more processing power that takes full advantage of state of the art technology and that sort of thing. And a price only about $100 more than what we've got now.

I don't think there's an overall need to bring out newer consoles seeing how much the current consoles can do with netflix and other services. I also think the big companies are consolidating their resources for when they do decide on bringing out newer versions.

I'm happy with the current consoles, although I would like to see an HD Wii. Other than that, I really don't know how you can take gaming to the next level right now.

I feel the same way about my 360-- I've been playing the 360 for less than a year and I hope it doesn't go out any time soon. I think I've heard, though, that the current generation will go on for a few more years.
