Forums - Gaming Discussion - How long do you want this generation to last?

Honestly I want this generation to last as long or longer then NES era which I think was close to 10 years. I want to see these consoles go the distance I mean hell developing for them is a bitch and expensive (aside from the Wii). And im not talking about just the PS3 tagging along the PS4 im talking about 360, Wii, PS3 until 2016 at least.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I want it to last to Nov 2011 at the longest because I want the next The Elder Scrolls game to be released on the Xbox 3, not in this gen.

Oblivion was released in March 2006 and Bethesda usually has a 4 year dev cycle, this time probably extended by a year or two max because of Fallout 3, so it cannot come out later than in Spring 2012.



At least a few more years.
So far,I feel this generation is lacking compared to last.



 

 

I want the new consoles to be revealed around 2012/13.
I thinks thats long enough for devs to get good results from the systems while its not too far away that I become totally fed up with my current consoles and want some new kit



I don't want any new consoles before the end of 2011. I could even go until the end of 2012 before wanting any next gen consoles.

i think this gen will last a lot longer than other gens, i think all 3 have talked about that already.

if you think about it on dev costs and studios going down, it has to. if its expensive to develop this gen whats it gonna be lik next gen.

me personally i think nex gen will follow the way of wii imo.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

I'd say 10yrs at least. Get our money's worth eh. Or at least til the point that PC graphics become crazily-insanely better then consoles because then its time for a new console.



I dont know whether I could last 10 years. I get cravings for new tech. I just bought myself a 32" HD LCD TV, already I have plans to get a new 42". I just bought myself a new video walkman.....I now want the new one Sony revealed at CES 09. I want a PS4 sooner than 10 years :(



yeah at least 2015 that includes MS and Nintendo i don't want to buy another console so soon

It will also benefit the ps3 more if MS or Nin don't come out with 1 so soon
