im sick and tired of this gen so far, the only reason and everyone knows it is becasue the cost of manufacturing both the ps3 and 360 are so low now yet they continue to sell for £200 (main systems) so both microsoft and sony are making huge profits, in the past a new system was released every 5 years now partly thanks to sony the cycle is now 10 years.

moan all you like but im gonna build my self a games rig, yeah it might cost over £700 but ill get a huge jump on the next gen graphics and get to experience gaming how it should be right now, it'll also allow me much better video edditing ect as it as a PC will do more than just games.

dont forget though inflation and other factors you will have to considder as our economy is still recovering from the biggest recession since world war 2 and as always new consoles always have a huge price tag as this hardware get ever more powerfull, expect both new consoles to have the same launch price if not more than the start of this gen, the vita is a good example and the Wii U will obviously cost more than the Wii as it's packing more hardware, i hazard a guess it'll be over £230.
