The next Xbox could hit retailer shelves as early as fall 2013

also when you say fall in the title it makes me think its for america.
as normally dont we call fall autumn?
thus it would mean our spring time.

so its nowhere near close anyway =P

so hopefully ps4 will be out by then and have backwards compatibility (damn PS3 not like this :banstick
even if its not the ps3 will still be on par with it, and would be cheaper =P
hmm sony likes to make slim models though.... id say that would be first before 4 anyway.

I do find it funny everyone is PS3 this and that...

Yet PS3 came dead last this gen.

At this stage rumors and nothing more.

Doesnt matter how good your console may be. Without a good catalogue of games, its going nowhere.

I Don't think we need a PS4 or Xbox720 while developers are making such good games for the current systems.

I agree whilst the game content is always going to be fantastic there is always that push forward with higher quality visuals and sounds. With the original Hard Ware been several years old now it time for an update.

Yeah Gren is right, everyone always goes on and on and on about ps3's.

i never notice the difference in graphics when i play mates consoles.

Plus it feels like im holding a controller built for the hands of a baby.

It all comes down to personal preference.

cannot agree more (except i have a personal preference for ps3 =P)
the only thing i believe that either console needs to do to keep fanbases is to have backwards compatibility.
for example being able to play ps2 games on ps3. and so forth.

but it is a pretty much each to their own thing with personal preference.
however by saying it will be fall of 2013 (which i assume is usa seasons)
it will mean christmas 2013 here.
its that far away that no matter what is made everything including technology will be updated to better then we can imagine.
probably wont be long until holographic gaming is out.

and if holographic does come out in gaming it will be a whole new dimension.
imagine things like all those pet games with holographic pets.
playing online games like BF3 or COD or whatever and having a full 3d terrain map on your living room floor.
now that would be amazing for the next gen tbh.

otherwise just a basic "system upgrade" or a better "processor" isnt really worth it.
and will probably be done with slim versions (eg ps3 slim, and maybe a xbox 370 for example)

Yeah, the console war thing is bullsh!t mate, always 12 year old kids going on about which console that Call of Duty crap looks best on, i went with PS3 mostly because of blu ray, i have nothing against Xbox except that it can't play blu ray, thats it. The graphic quality between the two is exactly the same to my eyes, but then some games look better on one console than they do on another, who cares, again its just an excuse for these teenage virgins to get on the net and pretend to know what they are talking about, when really they know nothing about anything.

Sony for the win.I only got the Xbox for the Halo series.

Its because most developers have been using the Xbox 360 as the base system (because its actually the weaker system). Cross platform games will only have slightly different shading here and there.

Even with most exclusive games you can see very little difference between similar games.

The only platform you will see a distinct difference is on PC because theyre made with the top end consumer in mind and then tapered down.
