Best news this week. Next gen HD consoles need to come in 2013 to be powerful enough and meet the hardware demands of game engine developers such as Crytec and Epic.

2013? Not bad. Hopefully GTAV comes out Spring 2012, that'll tide me over till the Next Xbox.

I wouldn't quite bet on a release that soon

What i would bet on is that things will definitely be clearer by E3 2012, or potentially CES 2012


I'm only thinkin April-May because GTAIV and Red Dead Redemption were that time of year in 2008 and 2010 respectively. So GTAV in April-May 2012 follows the pattern perfectly. It does seem too soon since they just announced it like a month ago but you can't underestimate R*!

Well that is what I was thinking at first, but then Max Payne 3 got stuck there, and it is clear that this has the full backing of R*, and while that makes the most logical place to put the game as May 2013, I can't even consider the possibility that I will have to wait that long

Oh yeah I forgot about Max Payne in there. That would be unfortunate if it forces GTA back a bit. I could live with GTA being Fall 2012. 



= i don't like the new dashboard hope we get a better one.
i'l be honest, i also like the old look of the 360s because its usable i can put stuff under and on top of it.

I'm sure they've done enough market research to assure that they have come up with a new name that will make the feeble minded happy. Rest assured, MS will continue to tell you what to think in your little, tidy, white, smiley world.

If M$ can manage to make a decent BK game (Banjo Kazooie), I'll be down for them *-*!

Hopefully they'll loosen the reigns on Rare a bit. And don't forget Conker.



I'm excited already! Wanna see what the next-box looks like!



well
C's research focus was hardware design, already replaced years ago by a nice guy. While W's team focuses its research in Xbox LIVE Programming(yup, She's Major Nelson's boss).

^no said by me,but you can trust my source



i just the launch is as good as 360 ( other then the RROD issues of course) 360 had a pretty good line up of games early on, especially compared to the ps3.
