[QUOTE="rogerjak"][QUOTE="truenextgen"]Well considering getting these machines out was like a 5 year process. You got the years and years of E3. All after its announced that its comming out.
Add in another 2 years of gathering games up. And then developing them, as its reaching release date.
And with the new ridiculous power hardware. Will need even better talent for games, that take longer than now to get out "around 4 years for anything worth playing." And we still haven't seen 60% PS3 powered games this gen. Its gonna be a long while. Micro even said that not to long ago. Plus media will have changed so their gonna work on alot of other stuff before another system.
Not to mention that all 3 need to come out again. Because a third party wont take a risk on one new system, that no one has bought yet.

Dude. In 2001 if you said to a game dev that we would be able to do a game like lets say....Resistance 2 in a 1-2 years time frame, he would call you nuts.We can't forget that Consoles evolve but so do the developing techniques and tools. I'm not worried about that because 20 years ago we were playing PONG and it was something out of this world.
01 is 7 years ago. But fact is what Micro was saying "and others." Is they see other ways of getting to games and gamers outside of systems. Not that we wont have systems anymore. But the need for them, wont be a chance anyon Co. needs to take for many years. With so many way more profitable ways to game coming. No one is gonna waste the years they put into what they have now. And go back under, when they wont see a good profit from what they have now intill maybe 2010. And then you want to grow off of that. Its not like it used to be anymore.
Interesting ideas dudes. I like the way Wii has gone on a different path to the other 2 consoles, and that signifies that change is possible, and it's possible for a console to do something different and still come out more successful. PC gaming will definitely go down the realtime raytracing path, as Intel are planning for it and probably AMD-ATI. But will consoles go down the same path? Technologies are now coming to the pinnacle of whats possible on silicon, and we've seen that now processors have reached the limit in terms of gigahertz, and now we're going into multiple cores. I think multiple cores will go up to ridiculous numbers of cores and then we'll run out of things to do with silicon. However, I don't know whether console gaming will follow PC gaming like in the past... but it probably will.
