Hes right about generation length. Think about gaming right now. Think about playing, say, battlefield bad company 2 on your 360 or ps3. what are the differences between that, and a 1200$ PC? Little. Of course the pc version is superior in every way, but the only real noticable thing for consumers is resolution. You wont see new consoles for a long time. Any new breakthroughs will be too expensive.

Console generations for the next while are going to be based on periferals. it's only nintendo that needs to catch up. Sony's PS3 is basically equal to their next gen system.

You mean like how Eyetoy was built by Sony looking at the dream eye...

I think he meant that the technology wasnt developed by MS but it was developed by 3DV.

As for the generation lasting another 5 years... I wonder if it will.

The biggest problem facing all three consoles is the lack of ram. Without using more ram to do things differently you gotta wonder if the game companies will bring the needed level of innovation to keep up the consoles another 5 years.

More ram would allow more gameplay innovations with AI and such... then again that feels like it's hardly been utilized on the HD consoles. AI on HD consoles doesn't really seem much more complex then Wii titles... and just doesn't seem anymore complex in most games.

Um, yes really.  You'd better believe that if consumers stop buying PS3's then sony will scramble to put something else out there.

think of MAG, gow 3, killzone 2, heavy rain, uncharted 2 as the gta vice city of the ps3....................................... oh yeah wait until we get the san andreas

have you played Killzone2? there's some pretty impressive AI there. in any case, I have only developed for the 360, I don't know about the PS3, but the ram is not such an issue. I would assume the ps3 has 10 folds the amount of resources available over the ps3 though due to being able to stream AI to an SPU instrad of using ram. 

The ps3 has things right honestly, blu-ray, big hard drives by design, free online services, hardware that is complex--but vastly superior to its competitiors.. It will last another 5 years. for sure. Anything better than the ps3 will suffer the same fate the ps3 started out with.

Combine this with built in support for 3D gaming and you've got a console that could launch in a year-and still give high end PCs a run for their money.

add in a motion controller that is vastly superior to the wiimote, but use the same "design sense" and you gain multi-plats in japan, you take casual games and make them multi-plat, suddenly the PS3 looks like a much more attractive choice to the general consumer because they are not getting their wiis for nintendo games anyway, they are getting them for the exercise tools like wii-fit and wii sports resort. If the PS3 can do all this, and it will, better, with HD graphics and free online with 3d gaming and 3d blu-ray movie watching.. why buy a wii?

The 360 is no baby either, It's very powerful and I don't think it needs any changes it sits in the position technology wise where it wants to be. its friendly, open to developers, supports the most robust online service and has the biggest american install base for real games (not wii fit stuff)

Graphics tech is too expensive. the cell is a phenomenal piece of gaming hardware. I wish all systems were like this.  

huh? have we been on 2 completely seperate playstation 3 system's?

it's only 3 year's into the life cycle of the PS3. right off the bat one of the big staple's was the "ps3 has not game's" can that realy be said about the PS3 today?

come on do you realy think that sony is ignoring the PSP or the PS3?

In my opinion your just being rather silly.

there is the problem is it not  where is the project resources put forth, we do not know where all their developer's are at on project's ? for all we know some may have had to take a break after working on game's like Killzone 2 and needed the break, the developer's are not cow's they just cannot churn out butter at the drop of a hat..

we do not know, Sony is not Microsoft or Nintendo, trying to compare each developer's from each company are pointless , because each and ever developer is not the same.

that is if the next generation system would be released for the same price?

even Nintendo charged more for the DSi over the DS lite, the PSPGo cost's more than the PSP, the XBOX360 elite cost's more than the xbox360 arcade.

even though it may cost the same to produce would it be the same price?

I would say not very likely.

I'm just going on about what i've heard multiplatform Sega Developers complain about when people ask them what they think about the generation lasting 10 years.

As for the rest of your post... it honsetly sounds like wishful thinking more then anything else.

Keep in mind, in the US 42% of people who own 360s and PS3's own Wiis.  To claim the base isn't also on the Wii and may actually be larger if exploited is silly.

5 good ps3 games = One high profile game?

I dont get it.
