[Jbone]

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

You're a few years early..

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.)

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.

[GuitarMan]

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.

[Ratchetcomand]

360, Wii and PS3 are making so much right now and they only been out for like a year or two. I think 2012 we will see a 3rd Xbox and in 2013 we will see another Nintendo system, and in 2014 we will see a PS4.

of course it wont be just PS4 it will be something like Playstation IV. And that will start a roman numeral trend in game systems.

[Ratchetcomand]

EGM said that PS4 will most likey be out by 2014 due the high prices of the PS3. It makes sense due to the PS1 had a long life time from 1995 - 2003. And the PS2 will most likey come to a end by 2010.

Then how will the follow up tho the 360 be called?!

[milkyoreo27]

8th gen... whaoh!

well, the PS2 is still being used, the wii is.. well, you guys already know the stuff id say about that, the PS3, I agree with Cerium, has still got lots to show the world, and the 360... will stay how it is for a while until something new comes up

[Jbone]

Well, I thought we can ATLEAST say what you WANT to happen...

[Shadow the Hedgehog]

dcccxx = 720

Damn forums won't let me capatilize

[Cerium]

What I REALLY want to happen is Sega to make a new console using virtual technology and photo-realistic graphics and awesome games and everything... then Sega becomes king of the gaming world again

[milkyoreo27]

wheres the fun in that? arguing about current systems is more entertaining

[Ratchetcomand]

Well the PS2 won't be dead until 2010 seeing that the PS1 had a life span of 8 years and the last game for the PS1 was NFL 04 (I think).
