Nintendo or Microsoft. They could release a console within months of each other. They will more than likely both get a head start on Sony's PS4.

This is defendant totally upon definition. I think Nintendo will be the next to release a new console, but I expect it to be an upgrade system a-la GBC or DSi. If that doesn't count in your book, then you can expect it to be MS who fires the next volley.

Well it would depend on how big the upgrade is. If it's a completely rebuilt hardware with a new interactive setup and what not then it would definitely be a new entry. But if it is something like, WiiHD or whatever for the others, then I'd say it a continuation. But I essentially agree it's between MS and Nintendo right now. Sony, probably wants this generation to continue going on for as long as possible. They need a chance to recover losses and the release of a new console soon would not alleviate that. They are better in a long run game with the PS3. So they'll be completely reactionary to what Ninty or MS does unless things go really really BAD with the PS3 really really soon. Hopefully that doesn't happen though so it won't be a scenario.

I'm personally expecting a Wii + upscaler upgrade and little more. It's not like they can really get away with addign new lighting settings in their console hardware, after all.

But yeah, Sony is not in the right shape to release a PS4 by any means in the next couple of years. They are having enough trouble making the PS3 work for them.

You do not have the right to never be offended.

Microsoft.

Nintendo's Wii is too successful.

The PS3 needs to make profit, and there's a fair bit of untapped power in there. The PS4 isn't coming in 2016, but around early 2013, I think.

LOL.[I know what you mean we have one conected to our t.v.]

The next gen is the next console made by console makers they are the ones who decide what the next gen is not the fans or anyone else to many people have been trying to downgrade their comps consoles by saying these kind of things.[it is possible for a next gen to be a step backwards even though not likely.]

That`s absolutely right. Thanks for correcting me. However I always see next-gen as something better on all aspects.

That`s one of many reasons I don`t have a xbox.
