The longer this generation goes on, the more clear it becomes that a new set of machines would be pretty damn dangerous for the health of the industry itself. It would also be pretty damn dangerous for creative game design, and it would be very damn dangerous for your wallet. Here’s why you should go home and give your console a big hug tonight, and forget all thoughts of casting it out into the cold for a new model.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.
From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
Just like you don’t ask a woman her age, you don’t ask a Final Fantasy fan how many games there are in total.
I don't quiet get who it's directed at. General player? Sure, I can believe them not knowing some of the less popular final fantasy games. But final fantasy FANS? There is nothing forgotten about these games.
Given that game devs are still trying to find their balance, publishers trying to come to terms with online - which can possibly be read as rob gamers blind - this gen has to last another 2-3 years at least.
There's also the general response of common, casual, consumer to consider. People who are playing on the Wii, DS and PSP while being clueless if not fearful of the PS3 and 360.
Wait until this economic downturn ends, because right now I dont have the money for a $400 dollar console.
mhmmm 1 bubble, guess I will go back to trolling
I think for both view points on Developer/Consumers can both wait for the next generation and continue to enjoy the current. When a new consoles comes out, the Developers have to spend millions in to creating new tool sets to build off the hardware and not to mention the amount of time it takes causing delays for highly anticipated games.
Its best to stick with whats available now, keeping cost low and currently consumers cant get enough.
its still WAY to early
I dont want one right now, the consoles are just starting to hit their stride!
I would like one in 2013, they could make a huge jump and still be well priced i think at that point.
