I don't think SONY or Nintendo have plans to release a console any times soon, and am sure not as early as 2010....

I was really hoping the 6th Gen never ended..... but that was just a crazy wish of mine....

I like a 2010 / 11 ending.

Then, hopefully all games will be 1080p, framerates will never drop, and the depth of gameplay will be even better. This generation is turning out to be a little disappointing. I thought graphical components of games were at or near their peak... GTA IV, among others, shows were not there yet...

Wait we were discussing aerosmith werent we?

 Im sure that neither the 360 or ps3 have come close to their peak, the reason? Im seeing games on the wii look close to the PS360, and the PS3 and XBOX 360 are far more powerful graphicly than the wii, I see the ps3 and 360 showing better looking games in 2009.

Yeah, this has been a great gen and it'll only get better. We're not even halfway through yet so enjoy it. =]

Next gen will most likely be even better.

 I think the next Nintendo console will co-exist side by side with the Wii.  The Wii is a strange creature.  It took a lot of established "rules" and threw them out of the window.  I still want a more powerful Nintendo console, though.  There are too many features that I consider essential, that the Wii is lacking.  Whatever they do, Nintendo has my full support.  They aren't the oldest surviving (and thriving!) gaming company for nothing.

You got plenty of time to enjoy this gen I am thinking 2011 the first new console somes out so you have 2+ years of having the best and when the new one comes out the first year they will fully support old and new so enjoy the ride

This Christmas is going to be the APEX for games
Fallout 3
Price of Persia
Mirrors edge
Little big planet
Resistance 2
Gears 2
Fable 2
Far Cry 2
left 4 dead
COD WOW

I would guess at least 4-5 above would be AAA and the rest AA
its a good time to be in this gen

While it's generally been the rule that the weaker system "wins" the console wars, it has never been demonstrated more powerfully in the console market than the Wii has this gen. Hence, I think it's pretty much a sure thing that this generation will last longer than most, because we have now broken the unwritten rule that it's enough to simply make last-gen systems faster for future iterations.

Heck, I'm still fully immersed in the 6th gen, too many great games for $5 at gamestop. Don't worry, game systems (for me anyway) hit their peak when the next gen releases, all the hype around the new systems causes a glut of used games, it's been a paradise since the 7th gen released cuz I've gotten both a Gamecube and Xbox for under $90, plus games (especially Xbox games) are cheap as hell.
