the argument for next generation

This is all ifs & buts but by no means impossible

What if either E3 2011 or 2012 Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo release information about their new consoles, MS comes out on top
spec wise and has a few impressive trailers to go with it. MS' console is the most powerful and the gaming websites gush
over what has been shown either in trailer format or behind closed doors. What is the argument for the playstation fanboys then?

Will they say gameplay matters? Will they say Playstation has such and such a engine that produce 7d resolution? will the pay
for online argument still occur? will the youtube penis' thetruthshouldgetsetonfire and pyrothepenishead spout more bile?

this isnt aimed at all the normal playstation gamers, the fans, i'm talking about the arseholes who spout terrific amounts of garbage
about their purchase on the internet when they should be playing the fucking thing!

If theres a new console in 2011 or 2012 I'm seriously done with consoles. Still trying to enjoy my xbox 360 and ps3 here..

same..after this generation i might wont buy the ps4 or the next xbox

It's at least 5 more years before I'm in the market for a new console. Possibly longer. Even when the next gen systems do come out, it will a be a few years later before the games start looking any better then what they do now.

Im not going to buy another console for atleast 3 more years.And If I do buy a console soon after those 3 years,the console has to be worth it.

nobody is asking anybody to buy the next gen when it happens.

hell if history shows us the early adopters are always screwed.....by all 3 corporations.

Id personally wait a couple years into the next gen b4 buying.

Im not loyal to a brand or something. When the new generation shows up ,I will check all the information and wait until i know enough to make a good decision. Maybe I will go for ps4, maybe for xbox [add a high numer here] or for Wii Hd or what the fuck nintendo has in its mind.

Yeah I'm tempted to get the next gen Nintendo console. Because they have some killer 1st party franchises, they just need a good, powerful system to make them shine!

I don't want a new console. Soooo expensive.

the ps3 fanboys go on and on about graphics/how games are being held back and so forth/power of the ps3

Those who like the pretty graphics will turn over there, those who liked the games will stay.
Easy as that.

Also, everybody, see: Nintendo 3DS

Console life cycles will continually get longer and longer with each generation. So its safe to assume theres probably another few years until the next XBOX.

first generation games for new consoles arent that impressive either

I am still enjoying my 360 and PS3 very much, not even thinking about buying a next gen system. If one does come out, I wont buy it for a few years, at least. The only one I would even think about would be Nintendo.

I see what the author is trying to say.Ive been wondering the same aswell.

For those who dont understand what hes saying...

Sony(and fanboys) brag about "teh power of teh PS3".So far the ps3 hasnt shown its "awesome power" but sony say that soon it will.Well,this generation is ending in a couple years so new consoles will be released.and of course these new consoles will be more powerful than any console this gen.So where does that put the PS3?The PS3 will then be "teh least powerful" console on the shelves.But sony have stated that "teh ps3 will live alot longer than a few years".

I just bought a PS3 and XBOX 360. My next priority is build a kick-ass PC even if it lasts like 2 years. Guy can't die without playing Starcraft II and Diablo III...

this generation will last longer than all others because of how expensive game development has become. we still have 3-4 more years.

The hardware this generation is significantly more powerful than the last. The next generation should be a huge leap in graphics for consoles. That means we should have consoles that are capable of Crysis graphics at max settings and resolution.

The only one who should be worried about building new console hardware at this point is Nintendo since that shitware that you call a Wii was maxed out on Day 1. No high definition support or DVD support. And is only slightly more powerful than the Xbox 1. I bet you it would have had a hard time running Halo 2 on the Wii.

It's the sad truth dude. I've been a Nintedno fan since the N64 days, but I just can't take the Wii seriously. If you have different opinions then I respect that.

I'll buy them if they are good. I hope this time there are no or very very little failure rates, but saying that if the games are good and/or if they do backwards compatibility i'll still get them.

I think Microsoft learned there lesson. The RROD shitstorm costed them like a billion dollars or something. It doesn't matter how good/bad a company is, after an experience like that they WILL be more careful.
