I think well see new consoles around holiday time 2012. Just a hunch but there you have it



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!! 

I say 3 more years, or till 2012.

I definitely do not see any surprise consoles being released this year and I think ultimately they have November 2012 circled on the calendar.
However if Natal really bombs it could sink the console and I wouldn't be shocked if they have something ready for November 2011.
If Natal really takes off it would be like a console re-launch and could extend the life into late 2013 or even 2014.
I think it would be unrealistic to think that MS doesn't launch a new system in 2012 (7 years)



Fuck 360.MS go ahead make the next system and put it out so you can dump it like you did 360. They are dumping the 360. you cant see that? shitty ass games no True HD. fucking joke

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

2012- The world ends.

if you had 1 year ill vote that. here me out. i honestly think this year will show the 360 limitations.

I think Natal will be a failure (doesnt look responsive, throw in the fake commercials of it, videos of it not being responsive, etc.)

Ms isnt full 3-D compatible (i think just like blu-ray people are underestimating 3-D there is a market for it)

Developers might be more blu-ray friendly with the complaints they are getting from ps3 users (meaning more content, uncompressed files, richer audio video formats) as well as the competition sony exclusives companies are delivering i think third party companies will try to out shine them.



I'd say it has a good two more years left in it until its sales are no longer relevent numbers. Might be able to squeeze a little bit out of the third year. It'll largely depend on whether Natal catches on and if Halo Reach is anywhere near the success Halo 3 is. Those are the two major cards remaining for Microsoft. If one or especially both fail, it'll barely last two more years.



i think we will see a new xbox when the world ends...........which is 2012
