There's better technology available all the time, but it does not mean that console generations should be abandoned just to implement every new component available. What would be the point in the console business if new generations were introduced every three years.

I agree. But the jump next year isnt just like Geforce 7 to 8 or Pentium 3 to 4. This is a radical new way of making games a whole lot more powerful. The numbers they are able to crunch are massive. There is no longer need for a seperate graphics card. My point is this gen will be no longer than any other generation. And because of the jump next year it applys moreso to this gen than any other. PS3 and 360 are supposed to be the forefront of HD graphical gaming . But there will be a massive gap next year and especially 2010, 2011 when we see games take advantage of the change.

Please stop trolling and use your head. Please don't say you said that from the heart because it doesn't give a damn point at all. Are you telling us that in 2009 ps3 is obsolete and game devs won't be developing games there anymore? You make ps3 sound like the 1st Xbox.

What he's saying is that by 2010, the PS3 will be vastly inferior graphically to PC gaming. And he's right. PCs are already doing things the PS3 & 360 can't and in two years, the gap will be huge.

I don't blame you for missing it, but there's more context to this. 10 year product that is obselete in 2009. AMD and Intel release amzingly fast CPU and GPU combined processors which more than double dot productions in gaming. PS3 or 360 will not last till 2017. Both are equal in graphical capabilities. And niether will be able to run the new UE4 which is being developed for the new PC processors. Question is where does this leave ATI and NVIDIA?

He's not just saying that there will be massive technological advancements but that those technological advancements will make the consoles obsolete by next year -- not just graphically but as game platforms. The consoles are already far behind in terms of raw power, and will continue to fall behind at a fast pace, but I don't see why this gen's consoles will become obsolete any faster than last gen's, or the gen before that, etc.
