The important factors when it comes to release of a new console depends on

1. The gamers
2. Publishers

These are the two big market forces that in a way are interdependent.

If publishers continue to publish great experiences and gamers keep buying them then the need for next gen gets moves back.

MS or Nin can release their new consoles as early as they want but if publishers and gamers are not ready yet to let go of ...

@moldy.

PS1 domination lead to the PS2 era which is perhaps the best era in gaming.

The PS3 was Crazy Ken wanting to do some crazy stuff and set about over engineering it hence the cost. The cell, Bluray. Ken wanted something of a supercomputer with unlimited space for build gaming experiences like no other. Given that he created both the PS1 and PS2. I believe Sony let him do whatever he wanted. Also it didn't help he didn't consult people like Ma...

I am not sure why people are surprised.

Expect a Froza every year like it has been for the last 3 years.

x360 was not a smashing success.

PS1, PS2 and Wii were smashing success.

Don't know about that. 50 shades is the worst I say.

I wonder what specs they were running the original reveal because this is just bad compare to the original reveal. Downgrade is obvious. It is Ubi after all so no surprise.

Does anyone know when it is coming stateside?.

Now who does not like to be sucked deep?

They still have not released versus that was teased at the start of last gen.

Unfortunately SE is not the SE of before. If they were to do one whole game we will not see it until 2025.

Lucky you.

Had to get a straight A report card for the year to get a NES.

For my SNES I had to work as a paper boy to buy one lol!

Lucky I have a slush fund for my games. I take out 150 every pay check for it.

What is even more amazing is that games in Scandinavia are notoriously very expensive because of the taxes they pay from what I heard.

You will not regret it.

I will riot if it does not come out. They better release the new one as well

@neo.

Underrated means it was rated lower that it should have.

Basically what happened it didn't sell well as it should which is different from being underrated.

It under-preformed commercially. That's it.

More people didn't take notice of how good it is because it is not on the console with twice the current gen userbase Duh!!

Some take aways

1. 3rd parties are very very important
2. Halo is in decline commercially
3. New IP's still have a hard time competing.
4. Reviews don't matter that much compare to advertising in terms of sales. Looking at witcher 3.

1. This is NDP. In NA there is about 1.5 million lead for the PS4.

2. Halo is MS biggest game comparable to GT for Sony.

If GT7 released and not chart in the top 10 then that would be pretty bad.

@EDMIX.

Fact that Sony have not release new iterations of some of their popular IP's does prove that they could potentially stop greenlighting more uncharted in the future.

Colony wars, LOD, Syphon filter, Jak, gateway etc. The list is quite long.

However I do think it will all depend on the market come next gen. There will be a lot of forces that might come into play say for example the Uncharted movie and weather it will a success or n...
