| Badonkadonkhr said: sony isn't in any rush to make a ps4 , they are known for having their systems out for a long time . The ps2 is going for 8 years now and will probably still be selling next year. The ps3 will be no different. I don't think the wii will last 8 years . Any way here is my order. 360 - PSP - PS2 - DS - WII - PS3 |
The highest selling console always has a span that goes into the next gen you're not giving anything to support you case. Sales = support = more sales = longer life If a system doesn't sell it's computing power has NO redemption. Wanna talk history? Let's talk about the weakest system almost always winning, let's talk about no market leader taking more than 2 generations in a row. Let's talk about Sony becoming cocky about the game market like Nintendo had with the SNES. Yes my friend let's talk about history but let's not be selective. If PS3 isn't the market leader or at least 2nd towards the end, PS4 will come out sooner rather than later and don't kid yourself Sony will drop it like a bad habbit if it's not worth keeping. Edit: I've said it before I'll say it again. As much as we hate to admit it casuals decide 90% of our market. In most generations casuals tend to come in at year 2 and beyond up till year 8(as we saw with the PS2 and even the Game boy etc) Generally when the technology comes under 200$ the casuals jump on and when it starts in the boarders of 100$ more come on. By the start of a new gen whoever had the most games in the previous gen will be the perceived best value for the highly casual people and their children who want a lot of cheap games not a less still fairly pricey ones. These are the people that buy Mario Party in majority, they're the guys that buy those games you who might consider yourself core look at and go "Why would anybody buy this" because your taste isn't law. This generation is odd in that Wii had mass market appeal that superseded the fact that it is not sub 200$ just yet. Bet your bottom dollar there are still casuals waiting for sub 200 and even sub 150.
