By December of 2011 I had better be buying a new more powerful system! I like the new hardware that runs awesome games with great graphics. Simply look at leap GTA IV was able to make over last gens GTA's, in three years I will need that jump to keep me buying some of the mediocre releases.

I kinda like the decade generation sony thing.  I am content with games that can look as good as MGS4 because eventually most of them will look that good and I can deal with that for quit a while.

I'm ready now. The idea of having to deal with the possibility of my 360 bricking (again) for the next seven years is terrifying.

I don't want a new Xbox yet.  Let the console live for 10 years then only begin to make a new one from scratch.

I'd settle for a 360 revision that isn't prone to catastrophic hardware failure.

I thought that Brad was part of the general public who doesn't spend hundereds of dollars on the latest hardware?

Anyway, i'm happy that they're extending the current console generation, i've had my 360 for over a year and i'm very satisfied with the graphics it has.  Besides, how far can you go with consoles before they just become like PCs?

That is excellent news.  The last thing we need is a new system with better graphics.  Seriously, I'm satisfied with the power of the current gen systems, and I know they can get even better.  Think about it, new systems would be a huge problem right now, and not even that great of an upgrade.

Hoping that this gen lasts for another 3 years at least.

I like the current gen consoles, don't really see any reason to change it yet, so I'm fine with this news.

Thank the heavens!! I'm quite happy with all three systems right now and have no desire to buy new stuff. Even if something gets announced this year, and will be out in 2010, I'm not buying anything new until 2015.

I'm glad about this. I mean I have an XBOX 360 and I know I'll have a PS3 sooner or later (probably ALOT later given the price...) but this will give the publisher's the chance to REALLY get to grip's with the PS3's system and realease some truly great game's specifically designed FOR the PS3 (there isn't many games out now that haven't simply been ported from XBOX 360 code to PS3 code and then worked on to be as gamer friendly on the PS3 as it is in it's original xbox 360 base code.

Plus Sony still want their home-brought up Blu-ray to succeed, so of course they don't want to start a completely new console with different technology as it would deplete ALL revenue that they're pulling in right now with the PS3.

Aswell right now, XBOX 360 is truly roll'n in the money at the mo', yeah it's a given that the wii is selling more but that's becuase they're more focused on the none gamer(none normal gamer that is.) market, grannies and the like.
But the 360 is in it's prime right now and it's probably gonna be like this for the 360 for another year or so, by which point the PS3 is gona take over and kick some finalized butt.
This being due to it's significantly reduced price (again to reiterate this a year or so down the line) and the fact that once the PS3's technology is fully harnessed by publisher's it will be the coolest thing out there for the next 2 year's after all of the above predictions based on the reliable news from vinny.

Summary, The only console that I believe will have a new generation console sooner (ie: next 3 years) than the rest is the Wii, partially because I can't stand the FUCKING thing!!!!!! lol. 
But also because I believe based on gut feeling that sooner or later (hopefully sooner) the general population are going to get bored of this strange fad, just like they did with pokemon, tamagoche (that weird animal thing you had to take care of, that died every 5 seconds and wouldn't stop moaning every other 5 seconds.) and many, many other's of years gone by.

I think they should completely master the 360. Make it perfect. Maybe one more NXE, and get some new series started, so that when the "Xbox 720" comes out you have some great sequels to come out.

Also they're smart to wait to announce a new console until after the recession passes, so that Microsoft's stock can go up more in a normal market. Also the recession will affect sales...Not to sound dismal, but the Great Depression lasted 10 years, if Microsoft announces an Xbox 720 for 4 years from now, but we're still in economic struggles, then they'll be screwed in the asshole.

I wouldn't be interested in a new system until 2012.  Games that come out now are running fine. I haven't noticed really bad frame rates.  For the most part, a faster machine doesn't really help. But I think you can blame new console development lag on the current recession...R&D spending is probably being cut short, across the board, for every company & industry out there.

I still consider what Sony and MS are doing with HD gaming this generation as more of "getting their feet wet".  I think they have both realised some of the challenges in going from SD to HD.   I think the next gen HD gaming consoles will be better able to exploit HD tech.

Current generation of consoles will live till 2012

They should offer a 360 revamp with improved cpu and memory. Same compatibility, but faster.

Thats good, I don't want to start all over again anytime soon.

"Let's see if this is really going to happen.
It only takes one to try make something better for the others to follow.
Sony only rushed to the next gen because of Microsoft, if that didn't happen we would still be playing great games on the PS2 whitch still had much more to give and games that like GOW 2 and Persona 4 are the living proof that the PS2 could still live for some more years."
