What Next-Gen Consoles? Sony and MSFT didn't do that well on this generation. > Collectively, that means that 2011, on the console side, is going to be relatively drab. Microsoft doesn't need a new console, Nintendo doesn't want to compete with the 3DS launch, and Sony can't afford a new console. So it seems like the only points of interest this year will be price cuts--certainly, Sony and Nintendo will have them. http://dubiousquality.blogspot.com/2011/01/console-post-of-week-december-npd-and.html http://dubiousquality.blogspot.com/2011/01/console-post-of-w... There are no plans for a future generation, aside from Nintendo, which _might_ have a full HD console. (Please correct me if I'm wrong). > The demo ran on a PC with an Intel Core i9 microprocessor with three Nvidia GeForce 580 GTX graphics cards connected through SLI technology. The demo took about three months for 12 programmers and artists to build. It's on a huge, hot, expensive PC now, how would the big 3 recoup their investment in such a beast? Wouldn't they be better off trying to sell portable units with cheaper to produce games?
