Hmm I think it will be 2012 earliest. Why do you guys say 2011? I think the economy and such just makes it very hard to do it earlier then later.

 

releasing 1st has in part helped MS pip Sony this gen, so they will probs adopt a similar strategy next gen, i expect a PS4 in 2012 or 2013, and a Wii 2 in 2011 or 2012

 

Yes, and how many times have companies done something right the same way twice? More often they will fuck up twice. I think PS4 will be first TBH.

 

PS4 first? i doubt it, the PS3 cost Sony alot of money, they cant afford to release till 2012 imo, M$ and Nintendo can afford to release before then.

Sony started making money off every PS3 sold mid november, also they still have over 2 BILLION dollars save up from the PS1 and PS2. Microsoft is down by billions due to their gaming part. The PS4 would only really need a better cell, and a better grapohics card.I cant imagine either would be very hard to come up with at their stage. The hard struff with the cell is done with.

i dunno, i would think that releasing a PS4 before 2012 or 2013 it would have to launch at something daft like £500

Worst case scenario, they can always stick the same cell into the PS4. I mean It is much more powerful then the 360's CPU. All they would need is a better graphics card. So if they put out a PS4 by 2011 or 2012, the PS4 would be about 300ish dollars I would imagine. The PS3 will drop down to 299 this year, 2010 it should drop down to 250 or 199. If they just tape together 2 cells, even then the price wouldn't be too high. They would already have the smaller chip sizes and everything.


The nextbox I believe will just use a beastly quad core CPU and a beastly GPU. Probably Blu-ray also. At the very wost, I expect them to put out at the same time.

i hope they wait till at least fall 2012.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

The later, the better. I expect the nextbox by 2012 at the very latest. 2011 seems more logical though.

Probably late 2012. Sony will release close to them, they've learned their lesson from this gen.

It's better to eat crow than to stick with a dead format (DVD will be floundering, come 2012, and HDDVD is already dead)

Unless a new disc format arrives in the next three years, which is highly unlikely.

Microsoft are pushing their DD service and Netflix, they won't go BluRay.

SO HDDVD is the perfect option for them, as long as it plays DVDs, thats all microsoft needs, it doesnt matter if its a failed format or not. HD-DVD was comparable to BluRay in regards to what it could do. HD-DVD will be cheaper now too.

As for DVD dead in 2012 ... I highly doubt it.
