Yay! She posted outside one of her threads!

Yeah, but I understand like...15% of what she wrote, so it's not a true Carmina work.

highly doubt it. M$ will most likely release first again. And nintendo is going to milk the wii for as long as they can as will SONY with the PS3. M$ would do the same but theyre going to want to put additional pressure on SONY especially if the PS3 begins to regain market share

@OP:
I'd say really too early for each one, HD consoles are too expensive to develop, so they need more years as top level model to recover initial investments, while Wii rules so easily that Nintendo can do what it wants and Wii2 release will be decided by Wii1 sales trend and HDTV market penetration.
So, IMVHO:
XB720: 2012
PS4: 2013-2014
Wii2: ?

But what's for sure is that Wii2 in 2010 is plain ridiculous. The only concern for Wii is current Japan sales, it would be crazy to send Wii to early retirement everywhere else, it would kill almost sure huge future sales of a product with a fabulous profit margin there, hasten Wii2 development raising its costs and lowering its performance and features/price ratio and all this most probably without solving the only problem.

im pretty sure is gonna be longer then the rest with technology and internet

1120 2011 xbox
ps 4 2014
wii 2013

Xbox 720 - 2012
PS4 - 2012
Wii-2 - 2011

PS4 isn't likely till 2012 at the earliest. Would not be surprised if Sony waited till 2013. I imagine MS will go either 2011 or 2012 as dictated by sales of the 360 and status of economy. Nintendo won't release Wii 2 till current Wii stops printing money.

Wii 1.5 = Motion plus

The Nintendo machine will be the last one anyway.

The current economic climate will slow down the next generation considerably. You can all push your dates out by a couple years.

Keep in mind that the current console gen was meant to take on the up-and-coming HDTV "revolution" (except for the Wii), and that they still handle said HD gaming just fine. The "next gen" will have a lot more 1080p games, but making that hardware *cheap* enough to sell at consumer friendly prices is the issue.

Economy... bad. Cheap hardware... delayed.  The perceived difference between 720p and 1080p gaming aren't even close to the difference between 480p and 720p, and many Wii owners will tell you that the difference is hardly noticable at all. (...on a 480i SD TV.  Okay sorry... I couldn't help myself.)
