Now maybe. The article mentions that it's a device designed for the next 7 or 8 years.
- nhangen 13y agoI don't think this generation of consoles will survive without a refresh in the next 7 or 8 years. Tech is moving too fast.
- Fargren 13y agoIt hasn't for the last seven years? Other than the arrival of SSDs, the consoles were running on a half-decade old tech and still doing fine. If anything, tech seems to be moving slower lately, with less increase of processor powers and less notable increases in graphics capability.
- nhangen 13y agoThe last 7 were far different IMO. Coming out of the bubble, and very little progress in software, not much needed to change. But now, I think the fact that software, not hardware, is changing rapidly, a 7-8 year cycle isn't going to work. Sure, they can bolt-on new firmware updates and operating systems, but I think the way we use consoles will change quite a bit in the next 3-4 years alone.
