Post everything about the 8th generation of video games here. That includes thoughts, video games and systems that have yet to be released.

Your From Teh Futer Capture Heem so we can sell him to zoo or museum

To be honest, i hope there isn't an 8th generation for a long, long while yet..
The Wii is still selling like mad everywhere, the PS3 hasn't even showed half of its full potential yet, and the Xbox 360 is an awesome console (if you can look past the hardware faults) which I hope can last longer than the original Xbox (in my opinion, it was put to rest way too early by Microsoft.)

Can we still sell him to a zoo?

Can we still sell him to a zoo?

Yes, Yes we can. But it has to be in Washinton D.C. or Amsterdam.

I think we wont see an 8th gen for a looong time. With the consoles out right now selling at the rate that they are, i think the companies can just sit back and relax for a few years.

I dissagree. The PlayStation 3 has shown its full potential, with LBP, Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 coming out soon. XBOX 360 is a great console, but both consoles are merely the same, for now, until one glows us heavily, which I think the 360 will do soon with Fable 2, but hey LBP, Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 are just around the corner.

Not to mention, that Mirror's Edge is being developed primarily for the PS3, then ported by external DICE teams. Thats why the PS3 version will get hefty DLC not on the other versions.

the 6th generation is still living with the ps2, so there's no need for a 8th generation right now.

I don't think so. remember the PS2 and how it improved every year (for example GoW), it will be the same with the ps3.

I agree with Cerium, the only thing I don't agree with is "if you can look past the hardware faults" of the 360. It is not a case of looking past them, it's a case of having to get a new 360 every so often because it sucks big time how unreliable 360s can be.

I don't like it for the people to single out the PS3 as the one with potential, they all have a huge amount of potential. Just compare the late PS2 games with some of the earlier ones, we'll notice this same jump by the end of this generation.

All the eighth generation consoles will probably be like the Wii taking into account how far it is ahead of the competition.

I think we are bit eary for this. I don't think we will see a PS4, Xbox 3, another Nintendo system until 2013 or 2014 due to all three systems are having great sales and they don't want to end them soon.
