Is 2012 when we'll see the launch of the next generation? Half of GameFAQs thinks so:

Sounds like a rather likely aspect to me. I think by that point the global economic crisis will have subsided and there will finally be sufficient HD TV and High-Speed Broadband penetration to allow for a new generation of consoles. Maybe by that point Nintendo will release a Wii that has a Hard Drive.

So much for consoles with 10-year lifecycles.

The Top 10 Most-Listed Games On GameFAQs' Top Ten Lists

Does that include the time they are listed here...?

Stratos · « **Reply #79 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:48:05 PM »

That wouldn't have changed their order, just made 9th and 10th be a tie. Pokemon was 11th they said.

I know the order wouldn't change but I was just curious if that list was counted too...

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #81 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:25:20 AM »

They also cycle the lists (I have talked to people who have had their same exact list appear more than once), I wonder if they count the games more than once in that case.

PS2 is the only console I know of that is still lasting, and it was released in 1999...

Not alot of consoles had ten year lifecycles, to my knowledge anyway.

March 2000 was the first release of the PS2 (in Japan).

The NES (if you count Japan) had a 20 year lifecycle (Nintendo was still producing new Famicoms until 2003).

The Famicom never died. It went dormant. Like a volcano. You can't kill a volcano

But Sony was claiming that the PS3 would have such a lifecycle. Now some are starting to question whether they will release a PS4.

I think you guys are confusing "life cycle" with "market life". The successor to the PS2 was released six years after its launch, so it had a life cycle of six years even if its market life is still going. When people talk about the current systems having a ten-year life cycle, they mean the successor to these systems won't be released until about ten years after the current systems launched. I don't know if it will be that long but it is looking like it will be longer than the 4-6 years that previous systems had. The XBox 360 launched four years after the original XBox, and if Microsoft wanted to keep with that they'd be launching a new system this November. So at least Microsoft is shooting for a longer life cycle and there's no indication that the other two companies will be launching a new system any time soon.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #86 on:** June 17, 2009, 06:54:37 PM »

Microsoft really had no choice but to launch the Xbox 360 early. For one, they were still losing money on the Xbox system after 4 years (they made the mistake of just using off the shelf parts and that limited how much they could reduce their costs) and they also wanted to get the jump on the competition. The Xbox 360 is profitable for the company, so no surprise they have no indications of a new system. Nintendo is breaking all records with the Wii and look like they will pass the PS2's lifetime total eventually. Sony could end up launching a new system earlier though since the PS3 is not doing all that well (it is only slightly ahead of where the GameCube was at this same point of its lifetime).

Isn't the PS3 at over 23 million units worldwide? If so, that is more than the GameCube sold throughout its entire market life.

That's because GCN didn't have MGS4: Guns Of The Fanfiction.

It's great the Capcom 5 has become a meme of sorts.

I can slightly forgive them since Tatsunoko vs. Chun Li is coming stateside.

So three good games that get ported to 360 a month after release and one crappy game that nobody wants to play?

Doesn't it already have that?

PS3 needs the Burger King games. Not having those is what killed it.

Now that we think about it, Square's already doing this for us.

For a $3 game, "Sneak King" was pretty damn good (much better than the $15 pile of turd called "Braid").

Yeah it is actually, or at least pretty good. It's the only XBox 360 game I've ever played.
