Topic: Wii 2/Revolution? Xbox 720? PS4? Oh my!

[animecyberrat]

They would only do that if EA could license it and make one them selves.

[DAaaMan64]

Nah I don't think Microsoft would want them to associate Xbox with Windows, I mean Windows gets a real bad rap for being unreliable and crashing becoming regular business..... Oh wait nevermind, they are perfect for each other.

[animecyberrat]

Funny how all the discussion is focused on Wii and 360 succesors, as if everyone assumes there won't be a Ps4 

[nickmitch]

I think it's more that we know what to expect out of Sony while MS and Nintendo are wildcards, especially Nintendo.

[animecyberrat]

You cannot ruin this for me ok.


I agree though, with Nintendo it is like something new every generation, with Sony it is always better graphics, latest optical media, nothing new.

[Flames_of_chaos]

Odd I thought Microsoft this gen is the same old same old.

[animecyberrat]

no, no, now they are in HD

[Flames_of_chaos]

Nope there was some Xbox1 games that attempted to do 720p IIRC.

[animecyberrat]

I know, but now it is the standard.

2012, we should know, we have it marked on our calenders.

Nothing new? It's a good way of popularizing a new media format. Easy comparison is built in blu-ray drive vs the extranal HD-DVD drive now look how that came out even when 360 has an edge in install base. This gen Sony has made some nice things in the hardware front (except the 40GB model where PS2 BC was cut)

- User swappable SATA HD
- Allowing external mods in games (unreal 3)
- Allowing Linux OS (I know it was available on PS2 but you had to buy a dedicated kit)
- Good Backwards compatibility upscaling
- Allowing +95% USB headsets and blue tooth headset devices


The only innovation MS came up in this gen is over priced accessories and the worst hardware(durability/reliability wise)

[Kairon]

Those sound like really good improvements...for a computer.

[Flames_of_chaos]

Well yeah but a console can be classified as a PC anyways. But I think Sony is giving the end user a nice convenience since you can do all of those things without breaking the warranty and a lot of industry standard components are compatible with PS3 which is something you don't hear from the 360 camp.

[Kairon]

Yeah, all I need to do is take one look at the $100 XBox360 HDD, or their $100 (or is it $80?) wireless internet receiver... PAH.

So in this analogy the Wii is an Eee Laptop that everyone is clamouring for? (AND I GOTS THEM BOTH!)

Not really I would say sort of like a EEE PC desktop edition is more like it.

he will be missed

[Mysticspike]

OK so I did a little reaserch, and don't blame me if this information is not accurate, but I read on a website that the Revolution may be next for Nintendo, and that the Wii was a scaled-down version of the Revolution and that Nintendo put it out as a test to see if the Revolution would be a success.
Anyways, thanks for making me feel dumb. These aren't my predictions, they are other people's predictions of what the next consoles will be. I have no idea if any of it is real or fake, I just thought it was interesting to see what people think will be the next generation, and so I posted it here.

But anyways, if anyone else has information, I want to know it. I posted here so that I could here what everyone thinks is going to happen, not so that everyone could trash talk my post.

[DAaaMan64]

Mysticspike I'd give up researching till we hear something official. That BS about the Wii just being a pre-amble for the actual Revolution is a load of fanboi-armpit-gasm

[Mysticspike]

This is what I mean! Everything I say...

Nevermind

[Ceric]

Each one of those was a typed labor of love

Anyways,  the biggest problem in the PS3 is there having a hard time on timely delivery.  I thought LBP was going to be coming out soon, its looked almost done forever now... But its not due till October.  Same with Home but its not due till Next Year...

Now on Topic.  I think the XBox will stay the XBox with an emphasis on gaming even though it will become a full set top solution.

Same with the PS4 but Sony will emphasize it more.

Also we've already shown that Nintendo traditionally innovates then upgrades.  Be prepared for Super Wii.

Also I think all are going to stay with Bluetooth or the Bluetooth equivalent and I be surprised if some developer don't take advantage of that this generation.

[DAaaMan64]

oh dude, I know your just relaying messages from your research.  But I'd say it's pretty hopeless to find out anything at this point.
