There has been talk of next Gen coming 2010, 2011, and 2012. (even years to follow)
My question is do you think those dates are too soon?
I have a feeling they are. I mean this Gen is the best gen for deals. The longer it goes, the better deals will get, and it will push the companies to give you more for less.
During other gens some companies sat back on their high horse, (maybe even this gen) and stick to the ways of "here, that's what we have, give us the $$$$", but now everyone is so gun-hoe it's "here, and here, O and how about this".
Another reason is that I don't see enough games for the consoles, for this Gen to end..
There is way more game entertainment in these systems to give us many more years to come.
Take GOW2 for the PS2, and what they did to push the system, I say stick to that way of developing until 2013 and see what we come up with.
I don't want to be bothered by another console in 2011, even 2012.
I think this Gen with it's entertainment options will not make it end as quickly as past gens.
I mean back in the day it was "graphics tapped, lets move on" but now it's "well lets give them something else for their system to bring more life to it." If you noticed, that has been going on from the get-go this gen, and the battle between these companies is just giving more and more, to our benefit.
And keep in mind, yes next gen will / might bring better options, but it also might break the bank of some companies even more, even more so during these hard times, much like some game developers and the high cost and time of game making, that have caused them to close. This gen offers more options for upgrades then ever before, to keep you clinched to your console, hence even more longevity with your favorite console (saving even more money to spend on options this gen)
So I ask, do you really think this Gen should end so quickly, or do you want it to keep going to see what else you can get?
