Okay. I have been hearing more and more talk recently about the announcement of next gen consoles. I think this is wayyyy too soon! I have never been a Microsoft kinda girl, so I will comment on what I know, which is Playstation.
Put it into perspective:
The Atari 2600's life span was 15 years, the PlayStation 2's was 13 years and 7 years for PlayStation 3 is way overdue?
As it stands, there has not been much of an improvement in gaming and technology within the past 7 years as there was between the PS2 and the PS3. Also take into account the amount of upgrades the PS3 has had. There has been 14 different variations of PlayStation 3 released within those 7 years. Upgrading hard-drive space each time, making them more advanced and even chopping the fat, so to speak. Technically, we've had a brand new PS3 console only 6 months ago: the 500GB 'Super Slim' console, available in 3 different colours.
When the Playstation 3 came out, it was a revolution; advancement in graphics to HD 780p definition, bluray compatibility, downloads making it 3D compatible, a new 'Sixaxis' feature control system, USB ports, easier and free online mode, network settings, PlayStation's own virtual 3D programme, trophies, catch-up TV, music, downloadable games, themes, trailers etc. The list goes on. If 3D gaming is the next big thing, Playtations Firmware update 3.30 allows this compatibility. What more is there to add that will be worth paying £500+ for?
More to the point, will Sony even be making a profit?
