I think the Xbox 360 and PS3 still have plenty of life left in them and I wouldn't expect new consoles until late 2014 at the soonest. I think the Xbox 720 should ditch the disc drive for the next gen, that will cut shipping costs and games will be cheaper and easier to develop. DLCs are the future. Xbox should revise the controller to make it sleeker, and more comfortable and eliminate the battery pack that's in the back. The PS4 needs to have better specs. They need to ditch the cell processor for a more mainstream IBM processor and make it easier to develop for and cheaper. Sony needs to update their controller, they've had the same controller since the 90s!

As far as development is concerned the 360 has no life left. The 720 should've been the first rumored to come out. The PS3 is the one that is rumored to be coming out and yet it has like seven more hot exclusives to put out. I might end up having a PS4 and PS3 side by side in my living room.

I disagree, and the Wii being the weakest of the three has been very successful and has defied your logic. It's not all about horsepower and specs anymore. Game execs realize that in order to attract a larger more casual audience a console has to do more than just the graphics. It's abou the games, fun games. The Kinect for Xbox has been very successful, and you can expect Microsoft to sit back and rake in the profits. There's no need for a new console yet. And it doesn't matter which console comes out first, it's about which console is the best and offers the best games.
