I do not see any reason for Sony to have a new console for a long time. Outside of Uncharted 2, and God of War 3 (two currently unreleased game) we have not seen what PS3 can do. The tech under the hood still has years left before third party devs, and even some internal studios start seeing a need for more power.

If Microsoft and Nintendo want to release new consoles in the next two years more power to them, but I hope Sony stays right were they are. I have had every console since SNES on day one, besides the Wii. If the new consoles are really coming in the next two years, this will be the first generation I sit out. There is not powerful enough tech out there right now to justify any upgrade beyond the 360 or PS3. I don't want a current high end computer set up. The best chips on the market only produce a mild leap over the HD consoles, and that is not worthy of a new console.

The next Wii, will be HD , have a hard drive and probubly a new controller with intigrated WiiMotionPlus and what ever else Nintendo can come up with. In terms of hardware power I bet the next Wii will only catch up to or barely surpass PS3. Any Nintendo fan knows that the Wii is in need of a sequel fairly soon. I know I for one have spent over 300$ on virtual console but only have room for a few on the internal memory, many of us bought 360's and PS3's to get our graphics fix. Its true developers still don't have the technology to max out the PS3's graphical potential but other systems like Wii and possibly even 360 could use new consoles. And judging by Microsoft's 4 year life cycles and Nintendo's five year life cycles it looks like the next gen could start as early as next fall!

Microsoft clarified the statements made regarding a new console next year. Its just Natal...

I remember when 360 launched, Peter Moore clearly stated Microsoft has a three phase/Three console plan for the games industry. And he clearly stated that the life cycle for the X-Box was going to be four years long. If Microsoft is sticking to their plans and to their life cycles than we will see a new X-Box come 2010. Of course Peter Moore no longer heads X-Box but that doesn't change the four year life cycle, not to mention the 360 will have surpassed the sales of the origional X-box long before fall 2010.

2009.
