Forums - Gaming Discussion - Kotaku: Microsoft And Sony Targeting 2014 For New Consoles

Doobie_wop on 20 April 2011

So, the Wii is gonna be the Dreamcast? It's like a half breed stuck between generations, more powerful than the PS1, but less powerful than the PS2/Gamecube an Xbox. This isn't good news for Nintendo, they are probably better off waiting a little longer if this is all true, they don't need a Dreamcast situation of Third Party developers sticking to the old platforms, while the Wii continues to get less resources and time because it's the only console thats moved on. 

2014 is longer than I'd originally hoped, I'd rather a 2013 release, an extra two years with my current consoles would be fine but I think I'd reach my limit if I had to wait until 2014.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Thank god.

Personally I've already invested so much money into both my PS3 and 360 and the quality of games coming out is still so high I'm in no rush at all for a next-gen console from either.  I think both the PS3 and 360 have so much more life in them and we still haven't seen the best graphics either is capable of for sure.

So basically hell yeah, hope both companies stick to their guns and wait till 2014.

i'll second that, but i never had a doubt that it would be 2014-2015 as many of you know; i'm still going to wait 2020 out.

They're playing into Nintnedo's hands then.


which hand is that?  the one where nintendo shows up to the current generation 5 years late only to be left in the dust 2 years later?   ;)

It could go one of many different ways, if these and the Nintendo related rumors are try. It could lead to Nintendo monopolization, Nintendo doom, or just cement the idea that Nintendo's no longer directly competing with Sony and Microsoft

Open possibilities should make for a very interesting couple of years



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

There is a zero percent chance of a Nintendo monopolization....

 I think what it proves more than anything is that we are moveing away a bit from strict "generations" of hardware.   As gameing grows and becomes more mainstream and more options open the idea of staying to an exact timeline for a generation is coming to an end.  I think the only two who are really dead set on competing with each other are Microsoft and Sony since their userbase is so similar and overlaps quite a bit.

Thats kinda how I see this unfolding

it's too early to comment on this matter without knowing the details of Wii 2. I'm satisfied with  the current gen so far.  There are more than enough good games on the market that i haven't got time to play.
