Ya   a new consul

 

I think they should launch in 2012 at the same time then Nintendo.   Don't you think that would piss on everyones parade?

It would hurt the PS3 big time. 
And it would steal any thunder Nintendo may have gained.

I don't know for a fact they will. but. it would be a shame for them to let this slip bye.

 

Don't you think ?

 

It definitely would hurt Nintendo's launch.  The only problem, though, is that it is going to take a lot of power to create the next gen's graphics, which in turn is going to take a lot of planning, and testing, to deal with heat from the initial larger chipsets.  This is why I think MS will wait til 2013 to launch.  They can not, and will not, survive another RROD fiasco.

I doubt Sony will give MS a year headstart, and even worse, Nintendo a whole 2 years headstart.  I'm pretty confident in 2013 being the launch year.  As for BDXL, they may go with it.  But I have a feeling that Sony will wait one more gen to move to a new format, since Blu-ray sales are still contining to grow, and I think having 3 different formats (DVD, Blu-ray, and BDXL) will confuse many customers.  Plus, BDXL isn't extremely neccessary since Pioneer has already shown off a 400GB Blu-ray disc that is playable on current players after a FW update.
