Honestly, I don't believe they'll come out that late. Microsoft is too in love with short console lifetimes, and Sony needs the sales boost of a new console. 2010 at the latest. |
that has nothing to do with Microsoft bringing a console out every 5 years. Sega and Nintendo have been doing that for decades before Sony and Microsoft even came into the game. if anything, Sony has milked the success of the PS2, and rightly so. the PS2 is an amazing success, but thats because it had the market to itself for nearly 2 years before the orginal Xbox came out.
that will not happen again in gaming, its too competitive now that we have 3 companys selling well. I brought my 360 in 2005, so I'm expecting my 720 in 2010. but i got my PS3 end of last year, and I really can't say what I expect from Sony. I've waited so long for decent games and HOME to come out I don't really care to wait anymore!. if I didn't have the 360 to get me buy I'd be going crazy if I just had a PS3 by itself.
Sony said the PS3 has a 10 year cycle, but now I can see why, it'll take them that long to get everything out and running for it....lol

There was a console out before PS2 also, which got buried.
I haven't heard many folks say recently that PS3 still doesn't have games, but oh well. Lots of big ones will drop this fall.
PS3's slowness can't be "why" Sony has a 10-year life cycle, because the last two Playstations have had one as well.

Good point but I would imagine in both cases the 360 and ps3 will still be selling a couple of years into the life of the next gen.
As with ps2.
That would make it more like 7/8 years imo.
