People who bought a PS3 are expecting it to be a sonys lead console for at least 6 years (if not 10 with the "10 year plan") so that will be 2012 (3 years after the 720). I hope that both companies learn from their mistakes (MS making hardware that doesnt break all the time, and Sony making their console easy to programme for) in the next round of consoles...or i hope they join forces to take down the WII!!! ; ) |
It has nothing to do with companies learning their mistakes. Xbox 1 was a pretty reliable piece of hardware while the first few PS2 version were complete garbage.
It more has to do the timeframe in which companies must design consoles, the contractors they chooose...etc.
XBOX 1 life was cut short by microsoft getting screwed by NVIDIA(who stopped producting the graphics chip). Xbox 360 had to be rushed because of this...
If nividia pulled the same move on Sony and the PS3, we would see a ps4 much sooner than the supposed 10 years.
