Are PS4 and Xbox 720 necessary in 2012?

product-reviews.net: We know that E3 2011 is going to be a huge deal this year, but how big would it be if there was an announcement by Microsoft regarding the Xbox 720? Now we know that this is a bit of a stretch, but why else would they be giving away free Xbox 360 units? Thankfully Alan Ng has a greater insight into this; but this makes us wonder is the PS4 and Xbox 720 necessary in 2012?
We touched on this subject a little before, and for the most part it seems that a next-gen console is not needed. Developers are more than happy with the hardware that is available to them at this moment in time. Not only that, the latest in TV technology is helping to improve the gaming experience without the need for a next-generation console.

We need a new Xbox in 2012 and new Playstation in 2013.

nopunctuation4723d ago

Xbox 360 used up its potential a while ago and needs a new console. Ps3 hasnt even come close to its potential because only one game (MGS4) has used a Dual layer blu ray disc. Sony could keep ps3 going for a long time because of this. Nintendo needed a new console in 2008.

mandf4723d ago

Killzone 3 and Lbp2 used a dual layer disc. Not sure but I think FF13 used it too.

CoD5114723d ago

Err, what does disc storage space have to do with hardware power? Blu-ray has a slow read speed as well which also limits it's use with games, no?

thehitman4723d ago

@CoD

blu-ray isnt slow it just reads the same across the entire disc which equates to the same from a DvD where it reads at different speeds throughout the disc.

Also your storage medium for a console is very important when considering hardware power because an artist is limited by his canvass.

AAACE54723d ago (Edited 4723d ago )

@nopunctuation... If you're going to make a claim, at least have some idea what you're talking about!

To add on to mandf's comment, God of War 3 used about 40 Gb's of the dual layered bluray!

Space is becoming a problem especially for the 360. But that extra Gb could help for a short time.

Like it or not, we are just now starting to get games released on a regular basis, so it isn't really the right time to push a new console.

But then again, I still think MS will have something console related to announce at E3!

colonel1794723d ago

Sony will definitely have bluray for the PS4. But it would be better if the games came actually in some kind of a flash drive (like the NGP). I think it would be faster and the capacity can be more than Blu ray. I am not a tech geek, so I wouldn't know much, but i've read it would be better.

nopunctuation4723d ago (Edited 4723d ago )

"Also your storage medium for a console is very important when considering hardware power because an artist is limited by his canvass."
At least someone here gets it. Ok there may be a few more games than I thought that use DL blu ray but that is still a VAST minority of ps3 games. You think PS3 games are huge now? Think of what they could be. Blu ray isnt limited to 2 layers. It can have many many more. Think of a game with 100gb of space to work with and you will see that PS3's potential has hardly been touched yet and therefore is the only console that can say it doesnt need a new console yet. 360 was built for instant use of its hardware so games looked good at first but gradually came into second place with ps3 graphics wise. I wouldnt be surprised if they were working on "720" right now. MS said they wanted to be first this generation so we could see a new 360 by december 2012. Wii I dont even have to explain. It was oudated from the start and even hardcore nintendo fansare getting sick of the lack of graphics and online play. It needs a new console NOW.

These websites need to realize how many companies went out of business this gen. It costs between 30 to 60 million to create a game engine. Making to 2 games at 2 to 3 years a piece to develope will not recover costs of making it. If you disagree, you need to realize each gen hardware can only utilize and optimize a last gen game engine so much. This gen was very expensive for developers. Most of them can't even make a game run at 720p and a solid 30fps this gen. I would hope they could master this gen before trying new hardware.

nopunctuation4723d ago (Edited 4723d ago )

Great point. I wish games didnt take so long to make but that is the price of higher graphics and physics I guess (which yes are very necessary for modern games weather you want to admit it or not). When you thinf about it, it has crippled a lot of series of games. GTA released 3 games last gen and only one this generation. That shows how much longer it takes to make a game. FF released 4 games last gen. Only one so far for this one. But it is something we will have to get used to. With games getting bigger, they will take longer to make and devs will have to put more into them to keep them fresh. The good thing that comes out of it is that devs will have to put everything into a game to ensure its good instead of gimping it over 3 sequels.

tplarkin74723d ago

Customers don't care about the technical details. The games are getting stale. We need innovation which requires new hardware.

rabidpancakeburglar4723d ago

No, neither the new playstation or xbox will be necessary before 2013 or 14

Cyb3r4723d ago

I doubt that we will see the PS4 in 2012 but a nextgen Xbox probably

Orcs Must Die Uchained

Enter The Gungeon

Max Payne 3

Nuclear Throne

Super Meat Boy

bouzebbal2216d ago (Edited 2216d ago )

Velocity 2X
DJ Hero
SF4
KZ2
WipEout HD
...are among the toughest and 5 plats i am most proud of

jerethdagryphon2216d ago

Kz 2 the online was a stupid requirement

Knushwood Butt2216d ago

Congrats on Velocity 2X

I got the silver for 25 perfects...

joab7772216d ago

For me, in my run, it’s Lost Planet 2 and Killzone 2 before it’s patch. But about 3 yrs ago, I stopped chasing pointless trophies that are just wasted hours.

jazzking20012216d ago

i am not a plat hunter but i will try to get them.....if they do not require a ton of work to do.

jerethdagryphon2216d ago

Out of the 90 i have gt5 and sport are probobly high on the list that and sports champions

2pacalypsenow2217d ago

MGS 5 is not a hard platinum, it's just time consuming.

How is Killzone 2 not on this list?

jazzking20012217d ago

I have never played K2, thus not on the list.

kuraki_dan2217d ago

This list is trash.... infamous took me less than 24 hours to plat and resogun only a few days.... so many much harder/actually time consuming games. Warhawk for example...

Sniperwithacause2216d ago

OMG dude! You beat me to it. As soon as I started scrolling thru comments, and didnt see Warhawk yet I was going to post it.

the worst2216d ago

Warhawk is no joke. I have a championship blade. But flying all that time in the air. I just couldn't do it

franwex2217d ago

Still working on the mgs v one. So far I’m about 130 hours in. All I need to do is collect all the damn animals, beat the target tests on mother base, do the secondary objectives on the campaign. Phew.

Gameseeker_Frampt2217d ago

Killzone 2 is super hard now that the servers shut down yesterday.

joab7772216d ago (Edited 2216d ago )

That’s is my hardest before Radec was patched. I spent 9 straight hrs fighting him on Elite. And finally got him! Lost Planet 2 is also absurd!

And Dead Space 2 was tough, going through with like 3 saves for the whole game.

And is MGS 4 harder? I haven’t played 5, but going through 4 without alerting or dying is tough.

Knushwood Butt2216d ago

Radec was patched?

I admit I gave up.

My most enjoyable platinum was 2016 R&C. Most plats get tedious towards the end but R&C was fun the entire time.

dariux322216d ago

I am working on it right now. And game is stil fun to play in challenge mode.

jazzking20012216d ago

i also got it as a plat...trophies were mostly easy...thanks to a bug i was able to get the final racing trophy

jerethdagryphon2216d ago

You dont need a bug just need to practice a bit

SonyWarrior2217d ago

Socom confrontation is the true hardest plat they made that dumb hard to ever get the plat i doubt any one in the world besides the devs got the plat

2pacalypsenow2217d ago

Oh yeah that def was the hardest trophy prob out of all the games released on the Vita,Ps3 and Ps4

DaBudSmoka2216d ago

I got the socom platinum...so yea

AKS2216d ago (Edited 2216d ago )

That's the one that people seem to notice most. Several people have commented about that when they've checked out my trophies. I was more proud of getting the Big Boss Emblem in MGS4 in terms of gaming accomplishments, but alas there were no trophies when I got it.

jazzking20012216d ago

i beat MGS4 but that was before it got trophy support. If it had when i played it, i may have it now

AKS2216d ago (Edited 2216d ago )

The Big Boss Emblem was from a "perfect" run with no kills, health items, or alerts in under 4 hours on the most difficult setting. I feel like I should have a trophy for that.

jerethdagryphon2216d ago

Demons souls was pretty easy only pure bladestone was hard

I could’ve sworn the Genesis sold 40 million

kevnb2329d ago

i thought so too, the xbox one is probably already past 31 million as well.

badz1492329d ago

Best selling PS4 game is UC4 at 4 mil+?? WTF? It's not the best selling game on PS4 but it still sold like 10mil copies already by now.

kevnb2329d ago

ya, that uncharted 4 bundle sold like crazy.

Lime1232329d ago

I thought Uncharted 4 had better first week than Halo 5 in UK (where Xbox One is strongest, next to US), and it wasn't bundled then.

?

FyBy2329d ago

Wow ps4 shows its strenght. After 4 years is already in top 10. Surprise for me was og ps. I didnt knew it surpassed wii. And 62m for NES. Wow!

kevnb2329d ago (Edited 2329d ago )

sony is the only console maker that seems to be able to do really well in the entire world consistently. Xbox has troubles outside the west, Nintendo sometimes has problems in Europe, but Sony is killing it everywhere.

FyBy2329d ago

Yeah exactly! It was surprise for me, that every gen of ps is on the list. Nintendo is saved by its software and uniquenes. They have extremely well accepted first party titles.

Aceman182328d ago

PS1 didnt surpass Wii, it's just the Wii fell short of PS1 lol. Assuming we have another 2-3 yrs of the gen Sony will be only gaming company with 3 systems selling over 100 mil units. That is just inssne.

2329d ago
joab7772329d ago

Wow! Sony has 3 of the top 4 and the PS4 looks to be moving up into one of those spots. Crazy after all the issue with the PS3, it outsold the 360. And they turned it around by taking MS's lead. They focused on 1st party titles and making the gamer their top priority, like MS did for the 360s first 3-4 yrs. Then they started thinking too far ahead like their PC division.

PS4's Latest European Commercial Goes After Kids

This is interesting: a PlayStation 4 commercial targeted squarely at kids. Sony’s spent the past few years marketing the machine mostly at adults and core gamers, but it has hinted in recent interviews that it wants to widen the reach of the console as it pursues that all-important 100 million units milestone, and this is an example of that.

andrewsquall2438d ago

I like the way PES is the hardcore footballers choice of game for the kids. Even though we all know FIFA is on their Santa lists and the never heard of PES lol.

Sir_Meowface2438d ago

Lol, totally true, I dont think ive ever seen a kid even mention PES.
