Forums - Gaming - EA's LA Studio now hiring for "NEX-GEN" Platforms -PS4 closer than we think

So does anyone READY for nex-gen handhelds?!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

No one has given a reason that isn't ridiculous why Nintendo should launch their next gen console in 2011

Looking at current sales, its crushing PS3 and 360, and doing better than even PS2 on a weekly basis, even down year on year

Not to mention making more profit than MS and Sony's consoles, so why would Nintendo be the first to launch?



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

The Wii's sales was in slump right now, especially in NA. Ninty cant sell Wiis forever. I betcha even Pachter predicts of that. (And for the record, what he says in public didnt reflect in his real job. He just do it for the LULZ)

 

Nintendo needs a new console itteration to satisfy the customers. And make monopoly of the gaming industry thats why Ninty was investing in UGC and Digital Distribution

 

And what did I tell you? We're in the twilight of this generation right now. I wont be surprised if either of these companies will announced their next console as early as early 2011



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

3 years dev time... 2013... why are you guys acting like the game will be launched next year?

2013 has always been the target year for the next gen.

They're already coming out with a new DSi

It's not a bad idea to come out with a new Wii model to replace Wiis in existing homes.

 

Wii can't sell forever.

the development of next gen consoles was as early as 2008 says so by Ubisoft. And in that time we dont know if the companies are developing next gen games prior to that.

 

Just admit it, even gaming companies thinks this generation was a mess. it takes atleast 3 years for the PS3 to catch up and even if it is it takes too long to outrun the Wii.though thats what Nintendo was planning all along...

Link to where Ubi said the were developing games for the next Sony, MS and Nintendo console

Ubisoft wouldnt be confident to invest in next gen consoles if it wouldnt come soon. And he wont say next gen in public too if next gen would come for more than 2-3 years. And we never know really, the ones who really know are the third parties and the console makers. But Im sure it will come soon

The jump from this...


The job listing is actually over on Gamasutra, and is looking to fill jobs for Software Engineer: System and Tools, Rendering Engineer, and Senior Engineer: PlayStation 3. The jobs are also listed as "contract," so those looking for a salary with benefits will need to look elsewhere. The job also requires seven years experience and knowledge of the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and Sony's PSP.


...to this...

EA's Los Angeles studio is now hiring for "next generation" platforms.


...is quite a stretch.



You guys just got trolled something fierce

The writer claims that Boom blox isn't an AAA game
The only person in this world crazy enough to say that is Rol
Therefore the writer is Rol
Therefore the exact opposite of what it says is true
