Next Xbox or PlayStation?
Q. when is the next ine going to come out and should i wait to buy a ps3 or 360 until another one of those consles come out?
Answer
PS3 is supposed to have a 10 year life cycle, but the industry, and everyone is predicting is that we will see the next PS around 2014-2015. The next XBox will come out much sooner, as the XBox 360 is already maxed out in terms of graphics and physics, it will probably be released around 2010-2011. My advice, grab a PS3. I have a 360, PS3, and Wii and the PS3 has become my main platform for gaming. My brother plays the 360 while I play the PS3 and Wii.
EDIT: To counter the post under me, Major Nelson is in charge of XBL and is in charge of PR. He would never say that the next XBox is coming out soon, but here is the evidence:
http://www.videogamesblogger.com/2007/03/13/next-xbox-720-to-launch-in-2011-2012-according-to-microsoft.htm
A Microsoft DEVELOPER said that they are already working on the next XBOX, and here is one more thing:
http://www.gamezine.co.uk/news/formats/xbox360/rumour-project-phoenix-xbox-720-and-x-engine-$1306788.htm
Basically, MS ran a couple of job listings a while ago stating that they needed people experienced with gaming hardware in order for their next console codenamed Phoenix. The original idea was for it to be 10 years, but because Blu-Ray beat HD-DVD, the XBox is now behind the PS3 in terms of graphics and what the 360 can do in terms of physics and AI. The hardware is basically the same, but the DVD-9, that the 360 uses has 9 gigs of space, while Blu-Ray discs, what the PS3 uses, has 50 gigs of space. Because of that devs can put more things on the PS3 than the 360. Here is proof:
http://www.totalvideogames.com/GTA-IV/news/Further-GTA-IV-Details-Unearthed-11032.html
Rockstar, the developer behind GTA IV, said that they had to "dumb-down" GTA IV in order for it to be equal on the PS3 and the 360 because of the lack of disk space on the 360. They originally had a much bigger game planned, but when they approached MS about making GTA IV multi-disc, they said no way, thus we got the gimped, but still good, version of GTA IV.
In summary, because the PS3 has a next-gen disc format (Blu-Ray) while the 360 relies on DVD, we will see the next XBox much sooner than anyone thinks.
Yet another EDIT:
The 360 had better exclusives until 2008. The PS3 has fantastic games like Killzone 2, InFamous, Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank, LittleBigPlanet, and SOCOM. They have games like Heavy Rain, God Of War III, and MAG (256 player FPS game) coming out in 2009. The 360 has great games like Gears Of War 1 and 2, Halo 3, and Forza 2, but their exclusives list is becoming SHORTER as time goes on. The only thing they have going for them is Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. IMO, MS is relying on Halo WAY to much, and it will bite them in the ass.
In terms of games, the 360 has a bigger library right now, but the PS3 will have a bigger and better library after 2009.
