Do we really need a Next Gen?

[Netyaroze]

We do need definetly a next gen. Alot of programing techniques cant be used with todays technology. Without higher power programmers are limited. we have to reach the point were power is practically endless and developer dont have to care about limitations. Then they will be able to do everything they want.

lets say programmers are painters. And consoles are their tools. Today they only have one type of tools. They have for example just simple pencil with the PS3 and 360. They can draw just a certain type of pictures. Ofcourse they can draw a lot of things but they cant make watercolour painting with a pencil they cant use chalk or make graffitis with a pencil.

We have to reach the point where the developers can make everything they want. Today we have some games which dont need better hardware. But there are also a lot of game types which ae just in the middle of their development and we cant even see how they will evolve with 10000 times of PS3/360 power. We dont even know what new genres and new type of games could be done with 3d new screens new input devices and unlimited computing power. Maybe we will be able to play with systems which cant be differenciated from the reality. Ofcourse this point will be reached in 100years+ but we have to go the way. Games are still a young medium. They just arrived. Its like movies. On the beginnig we had just back and white without tone. And great things were made. Games are at this point. Our grandchildren will look at Super Mario Bros like we look on movies from the 1920s.


We need new hardware we need better technology. If we dont go that way we wont find out whats on the end of this way.


Also it would damage the whole industry. Millions would loose their jobs. Do we actually need more Computer power at all ? Couldnt we just stick with todays technology and improve it a little ? The whole industry would crash. Probably the whole economy. We need development in order to keep our economy going. We are at a point were we cant say we dont want that anymore its too late.

We have to keep this process going people have to spend money for stuff even if we buy stuff the stuff has to be new. If its not new then there wasnt spend money for development and production that means a lot of people have lost their jobs and that means there is less money in the system which can be spend for stuff. The money the potencial jujst vanishes its not like we were saving something we just lost it completly. Thats why we need better faster more economical cars computers houses and so on.

This are two points why I think it would be bad for everyone if we wouldnt have new consoles. One explains why we need more powerful consoles and the other explains why we need new consoles at all.
