Forums - Gaming Discussion - When do you think the current consoles will be discontinued?

Not the most optimistic but we're all slowly dieing even consoles.

Wii U-2012-2018

PS4-2013-2019

Xbox One -2013-2020

3DS-2011-2019 

Ps Vita-2011-2016

Just a rough guess

2019 for 3DS? I feel that's a little stretched, but maybe the N3DS does wonders.



Why would the XBO last longer than the PS4? It's status quo for PS consoles to not be discontinued before loooong after their succesor releases (iirc the PS2 wasn't discontinued before 2012)



To be fair I can't imagine this gen being any shorter than the last. We'll probably still be seeing PS4s and Xbones on shelves in like 2022.

I actually see this gen being much shorter than last. PS360 were equivalent to higer end computers of their time. They also had complex system architcture(Cell and PowerPC) which helped spread the power of the machine over a long gen. This gen PS4Bone are equavalent to mid end computers and have very familiar architcture(x86) so they will get tapped/maxed out quicker.

While I cant speculate on how long the machines will be produced but I think we will see new machines from both parties by 2018/9.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

thats what i want to know also .

  It would be logical to assume  that in the case of Sony/MS whom ever brings a new console to market first ,  they will be quickly followed by the other same as this gens launch, not sure about Nintendo though .

Your heading says "when do you think the current consoles wil be discontinued"  ,but your dates seem to suggest you really mean the time you think new consoles might coming to market rather than the previous consoles discontinuation dates.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

I think the final console will be cut off in 2020, which will be the PS4



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC
