With PS4 and XBO being successful so far i think it ll be a good long while. Possibly 2024-2026. WiiU much sooner.

I also think things like the cloud can extend this generation even longer


So you actually think the PS4 and/or Xbone won't get replaced for 11-13 years? lol. That's madness. These consoles are weaker compared to their predecessors than any other time in history. In five years, they'll be so gimped, developers will be fed up with them.

2019 at the latest.

I think so, too. MS and Sony said it's easier to develop for PS4 and Xbox One because the consoles are more like a PC. That means it will not take so much time until they can do the best what is possible with PS4 and Xbox One. And we still don't know what technology comes next. Now there are discussion about Virtual Reality and 4k but if there are more new technologies we will see new consoles because the 8th generation consoles can't work with them.



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

Considering how underpowered these current gen consoles are I seriously doubt they'll last for ten years. Sony is already looking into the PS5.

Honestly I'd give it at least 5 years.
