Wii-U : 2012 PS4 : 2013 720 : 2014 Just a guess based on rumors. I personally wouldn't own more than 1 console, there's just too much stuff to play and not enough time.

next gen wont be starting to to the end of 2012 at at the earliest but probably not until 2013 or 2014 imo. Even when the new systems do hit they wont be huge right away there will be a transition period. Id say its still a good time to get into current gen gaming as you have a solid year and a half to 2 years left at least which is plenty and the consoles are dirt cheap now. Also nintendo is on a whole different cycle then the other 2 and i wouldn't really consider it next gen just something a little different then what we already have now.

I agree with both points. Expect late 2013 for the next Xbox and MS is openly outspending the competition for next generation. Expect some crazy powerful AMD APU in the next Xbox which also keeps the price of the console down.

i hope not. APU's are nice and all but they still cant beat dedcated video cards and i would hope that all of the next consoles have dedicate video.

APUs when cross-fired with a discrete GPU are extremely impressive apparently. I bet that's what the next Xbox will have unless the APU technology is simply amazing by then.

Wii-U (stupid name) is schedualed for next year. Confirmed not rumor. This in its self is getting the ball rolling for next gen. New X-box (their not gonna call it the 720) will be a 2013 release. Its a guess but they wont fall behind the competition. PS4 (hope they give it a real name) will be 2014 or later. If the competition releases they'll rush a product out regardless of their 10 year buisness plan for the PS3. With the core systems I'm just hoping for a price point of $499 or less and for the love of Bejeesus just release one model for each not different price points/ features...

According to various interviews with the top honchos at Microsoft - the 360 is only halfway through it's lifespan. So... 2015-2016.

My best guess is that Microsoft will release a succesor to the Xbox 360 in two to three years, but continue to support the current generation for a good four or five years at the very least. Though support will probably only consist of the odd third party title and Xbox Live and its features once the succesor is released.

The 360 still seems to be going strong. I think it'll be around awhile.

I would say it will be around for another 3 years and it would be worth getting.
