Nintendo will release first as I expect them to capitilse on the current gens success. This will put emense pressure on the 360 and PS3 which unfortunately may mean an early release of its next gen consoles.

All in all the next round is gonna be nasty and I suspect this to start when Wii sales start noticably slowing possible late 2010 more likely 2011. The thought of a super powerfull Wii HD system is pretty scary and really could be the super console to end all super consoles.

Take the Wii out of the equation and we might of had 2012.

The X360 cost $400 when it launched in Nov 2005.

Now it's March 2009, and it still costs $300.

So only $100 drop in price in three and a half years. And it has just reached it's peak year saleswise.

This should tell us something. That generations have become longer. I don't think MS can launch a new console for $400 in 2.5 years from now (Nov 2011) when the X360 still costs $200.

So Nov 2012 is more likely for an Xbob 3.

And if the PS3 keeps struggling Sony mite wanna start all over and match MS with a simultanous launch in order to not auto-lose next gen. But Im still leaning towards 2013 for PS4.

actually it costs 200 and they are concidering dropping the elite sku because it simply doesn't sell.

I think the PS4 and Xbox 720 will launch the same weekend - much like PS3 and Wii did. I think both companies don't want the other to get ahead of each other too much.

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

People still don't realize how badly Sony screwed up the PS 3, financially.

It is true that they didn't profit anything from it, and they plan to, but this requires two factors:
1. Selling consoles above production costs
2. Selling many of them

In their very special case, these two statements are making each other impossible.
They could cut the price later this year, to sell more units and fulfill 2., but this would lead to breaking 1., and staying in the red.
If they keep the current price to fulfill 1, they would fail at 2., and reach extremely low sales around the end of the year.

It will take so much time for them to sell for 250-200$, AND make profits, that around that time,(2012?) Microsoft can easily finish them with a 150-100$ x360.

Especially if we consider that Microsoft is richer, and less vulnerable to losses, so they could literally give away 360's for free at the end of the generation, in order to terminate Sony.
