UNCyrus6310d ago

and stop talking about the next round of consoles, and just enjoy the ones we have now...

LightningPS3PS36310d ago (Edited 6310d ago )

The XBOX 360 is getting there. The PS3, well they will still be trying to get the PS3 started and it will already be time for the PS4.

Actually, there might not even be a PS4. Not sure Sony can take all the money loss with PS3.

Powertesties6310d ago

I can't freaking wait! Exciting!

fishd6310d ago

By 2012 we all are dead
;)

Kushan6310d ago

2012 isn't an unreasonable estimate, either. I can definitely see at least one next-gen console out by then, plus for all the people whining that the 360 doesn't have "longevity", I think it's fair to say it's at least got 3 more years left in it (I'd go so far as to say it's got more than that, but even the naysayers have to agree - 3 years is easily doable). That'll be 7 years for the 360, not a bad run at all.
I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 didn't last as long as the PS2, the PS2 was king of the last generation after all, but I can still see it around a few years from now.

At the end of the day, I hope the next generation is a lot like this one. Sure, the constant fanboyism is tiring to say the least, but we've got some kickass consoles and some even better games out of it, so it's worth it.

Serjikal_Strike6310d ago

With the sales of the PS3 i seriously doubt there will be a next PlayStation Console.

Though i don't expect Sony to get out of the Gaming industry all together i do see them making games for the next X-box console.:)

GiantEnemyLobster6310d ago

Just like Sega making games for the big companies now, soon it will be Sony joining them to make games for the superior Nintendo and Microsoft consoles.

BGDad6310d ago

I really dont see another console until 2020 the year of the leaopard gecko.

nos4speed6310d ago

The wii 2 might be out around then but for sony and microsoft theres no way in hell. There both guna be too buisy sorting out there current financial state before putting all that money into new developments, lucky the PS3 has a great enough life span to out last this so called 'recession'

BrotherNick6310d ago

If it's not a recession, that 7.2% unemployment rate must surely be a lie. Tard.

Tsalagi6310d ago (Edited 6310d ago )

After you're on unemployment for 6 months or your benefits have expired you're no longer counted in those statistics. It's actually much higher than that.

Mahr6310d ago

"After you're on unemployment for 6 months or your benefits have expired you're no longer counted in those statistics. It's actually much higher than that."

Not to mention that unemployment statistics don't even begin to give us an idea of underemployment--e.g., people who used to work in the tech sector and now have jobs greeting people outside of Wal-Mart.

blind-reaper6310d ago

but that 2012 is the the year the world is gonna end... We will enjoy our new consoles for months...

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle5d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg11d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree11d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai11d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde12d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy12d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12512d ago (Edited 12d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
