how superficial will the launch of the next generation of consoles be?

I guess I am just still anticipating the heights of this generation so much, that the next is soo far off that it is just silly.

Nintendo can change into their next gen. But couldn't Sony and Microsoft theoretically release firmware updates for motion controls or head tracking or whatever it might be for the current generation of consoles?

and

If and when the nextbox launches, will developers be able to produce something on it that looks so much greater than the current generation?

I think the difference between the 720 and the PS3 would be negligable in the eyes of the consumers. We have reached a point where it would be a crime if all 3 consoles did not offer very good HD graphical capabilities and some form of motion controls.

The point is.. regarding the OP,

Don't assume that Microsoft is going to default to launching first again. They are probably afraid to death of it.

Nintendo is in a great place, there next console has the potential to bring so much more to the table than the wii does.

Sony and Microsoft can only bring a control scheme and better online.

WiiHD: 2011
MicrosoftRev: 2011
Sony PS4 2011

... and so it is written. It will be a bloodbath. All multiplats on all systems.

Due to Microsoft and Sony correcting the losses of their Next Gen machines, and Nintendo having no incentive to release a new console when their current one is still a massive hit, the Wii will become the longest selling video game console ever. Longer than the NES. Longer than the Atari 2600. Count on it..

Wrong.

Wii 2 won't be out until 2035 since the Wii will still be selling up until then.

XBox 720 will come out next week since it will want to get the jump on the competition.

There will not be a PS4.

Atari Jaguar 2: Electric Boogaloo has been kept quiet up until now but an undisclosed source has let me lay eyes on it. Let me tell you, Nintendo and Microsoft might as well quit right now. Boogaloo is set to take over the world.

Wii in 2010 is impossible...

the future of Wii seems to bright to waste



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Yes, that makes sense. The Wii, which is selling like hotcakes, will receive a sequel in 2 years.

Sony, which could lose this gen because it released after the competition, will release after the competition.

Microsoft, which forced a new gen early and got RROD as a result, will force a gen early.

Do people get paid to write this stuff?

My predictions:

-PS4: Mid-2012
-X720 (they won't call it that): Late 2012
-Wii2: Early 2013.

I don't see any of the current actors to be rushing for release a new console:

1)Nintendo is printing money (and it must be fun!)
2)MS is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel (=profits)
3)Sony has first to go out of the red

 

we won't see anything new (from MS, Nintendo or Sony) before late 2011...but we could see new players entering the arena in the mean time.



2008 year end sales (made in January 2008):

44.2 M 27.1 M 20.8 M

The Wii will sell more in 2009 that in 2008. I might even sell more in 2010 as well. You do not release a new console when the the sales for your current console are still increasing.

Hopefully we see no new 360 or PS3 coming out until at least 2012. There is really no need for them at this point. The current economic conditions also make launching a new console anytime soon less likely.



Nintendo is launching a new Zelda in 2010 for Wii, why are they going to launch a new console the same year? (Unless they launch Zelda for both systems like Twilight Princess which is unlikely). I suppose that the Wii HD will arrive by the end of 2012.

Microsoft as you said is in a point where is starting to have some profits, so there is no needing of launching X720 in the near future, they will also wait until 2012.

Sony: I am not even sure if there will be a PS4. (Hope things change for Sony in the following years).
