I guess we'll see or not see at GDC 2009 or 2010.  Until then I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Arguing about it all day won't resolve the issue.

 

We will see and you should be prepared to be very VERY wrong, in fact I've only ever noticed you on this forum today and already I think you've been wrong with every single post I've seen. I guess at least you're consistent.

The only console that Microsoft is going to announce in the next 6-9 months is a Valhalla based 360 Slim, which already exists and is being tested now.

Microsoft have seen how an underpowered console can dominate the market with a cheap price and popular software, so why on EARTH would they follow the failed PS3 model and release a super expensive over powered console at a time when their current console is making them good money? It makes ZERO sense, NONE at all!!! I certainly hope you aren't involved in running a business, because it isn't going to end well for you.

 

     Because most of the 360's fans want big budget hd games with graphics comparable to those in the best PC games at the time of its launch.  They want to be able to talk about how amazing and hardcore the next Gears etc are and how much the graphics in those games blow away the graphics in this gen's consoles and rival those in the best  computer games when it is launched, and to be able to deliver a system like that, then Microsoft will have to deliver a costly console that is at least 3 times more powerful than the current 360 just as the 360 and its three processors are  that much superior to the the first xbox and its 733mhz clockspeed.

    Now, it is true that like Nintendo they could choose to put out a rather inexpensive console next time that mainly caters to the casual market and that alienates their longest term hardcore fans (and some of the stuff they showed off at last year's E3 certainly looked liked that was a path they were considering embarking upon); however, that would mean that the PS3 would become the only console for hardcore gamers at that time and Sony could milk that for all it was worth until bringing out the PS4 in 2015.

  

I propose a new HTML Error, it will need to be a 4xx number as it is clearly a client error, so how about
