25% to 30% lol... good one Jack.... this is the best yet.

the 360 came out in Nov 2005. 4.5 years ago... now lets see....

so that means this gen will last between 13.5 (30% through) and 18 years (25% through)

or

until 2018 or 2023 !!!!????

snigger.

Hes talking about where the PS3 is sitting in this generation (PS3 release 3 years and half ago, makes it 11 years to 14 years).

ok... lets say I give you that (even thoiugh this generation didnt start "when they say so" )

you think another 11 - 14 years is a sensible prediction?  giving a total of 14 to 17 years on the market?

please.

so when does a new generation start? when only one company releases first? how about if that one company decides to bring out a whole new system before the other two , does that still start a whole new generation?, just giving you a little hard time

anyway:

No I think what jack was talking about is every year of each playstation's cycle on the market  is about 10% of the system's capabilitty for further innovation of that said playstation product. so where they are right now they are about 25% to 30% of the tapped capabilities of the playstation 3, that's like many developer's today say they are just getting used to the hardware and that there is further tweaking of their engine's and what the system can do. just like the Xbox360 look at what was posted about The Unreal engine for the xbox360 . that show's there is still plenty of room in this generation's for growth.

would you say after reading that post about how the unreal engine for the xbox360 was not even tweaked to take advantage of the hardware of the xbox360 would indeed put it about 40% of the xbox360's system life?

I would. It make's sense the xbox360 is quite capable of a machine, than 4.5 year's later this come's out. kind of make's sense does it not that the xbox360 is not even anywhere near tapped.

what jack stated is pretty much inline we are not anywhere even close to what these machine's are capable of

example: both the xbox360 an Playstation has this advantage over the PC when they were first released look at it closely:

notice that processor to graphic's chip connection speed. remember the 10x as fast people ran a rumor on the internet that this made the ps3 10 times fastor than the xbox360, when if people stopped and looked it up than they would have known the xbox360 employ's such a Bus.

though the machine's employ them in seperate design's the effect's are quite astounding. which as already with game's like UNCHARTED 2, ALAN WAKE, Mass Effect 2
