I would love Sony and MS to do a refresh every two years. Up the ram and processor and keep the games backwards compat. I don't understand why they can't do this? Basically like a IPAD. Or similar to what Nintendo is doing with the 3DS.

No wrong idea that means you are simple dumping the old audience consoles are not meant to be this I am fine with 5-6 year beyond that is too much since the console itself starts be old. If you up the ram, cpu and gpu every year you are limited to same type what I mean is basically they cannot give the perfect upgrade or change the architecture to an extend. Moreover a lot of horse power in these consoles will get wasted and gaming budgets will rise for gamers and devs.

Devs will not be able to use these consoles effectively = rising game costs.

Consumers may be afraid to buy consoles every two year which can be expensive, well we can counter this by giving upgarde incentive to old console owners. Overall i don't think it is a nice idea


I don't agree about consumers.  In tech two years is a lifetime.  Consumers have no issues with refreshing their phone and ipads every year.  And the IPAD is more expensive then Consoles.  As for devolpers it can't be that hard to up the textures and whatever else in the newer consoles.  I mean these consoles are pretty much just PC's anyways.  I think waititng 5-7 years between consoles is such old way of thinking.  It's the only tech I know of that takes this long for a refresh. 



Nice to see halo so high in the Amazon US hourlys. Currently #8

I hope Xbox One does even better. I love my Xbox One :)
I'm in the Halo 5 beta. Add me if you wanna play. I'm currently playing some other games too. Horizon 2, Advanced Warfare and GTA V.




3/5 weeks in and looks like XB1 has maintained a very healthy lead over PS4. I guess it isn't over until it's over tho!!



 

Huh... people are selling the COD bundle for 1500$ on Amazon Canada.
