TGM said: Did you guys forget the rule thats pretty much been followed since the beginning of time? Every 5-6 years another gen starts. NOTHING has changed.
wii/ps3 came out in 06. Thier upgrades will be 2011 or 2012. 360 will prob be the same |
Some things that have changed:
- the time required to develop a game
- the money required to develop a game
- the costs incured in devoloping/launching consoles
- all major competitors are seeing success with their consoles (3rd place in this gen might end up being the 5th best selling console of all time)
- through the first 5 years of the gen no console has experienced a huge YOY drop
