    It should have been released last fall in my opinion! all the games coming out are stupid except gta V an the graphics suck this gen! and they arent getting any better! which is understandable cause this gens power of technology is pretty much tapped out. what do you guys think about it being to late for a nexxt gen??

    I don't think it is over due tbh. A lot of great games have been coming out and continue to do so. I still think we have a good year left of this generation.

    I never cared about graphics so it doesn't bother me that much, I'm still having fun and that's all that matters for me . . . Besides with some details coming out for the next gen I'm not really looking forward to it that much

    I fear the next gen a little. the Nintendo Wii U or whatever it's called already seems destined for failure with being a Next Gen lite type system and its stupid controller.

    I would keep your expectations in check as far as graphics and the next gen of consoles go. I personally am not expecting a huge leap in straight up visuals. Where I expect the gain is in things like particle effects, shadows, draw distance, frames per second and native resolution.

    Well those "small" details you are describing are going to be huge in the long run when combined together. I think animations will certainly take a huge leap forward. Less stiff movements.

    I don't think so, graphics really aren't that important to me, I think the current consoles have at least a good year left

    Idk about you guys but I'm actually dreading when it comes out. Because when it does, I will be outdated without the means ($$$$) to upgrade. LOL

    I dont think anyone can really deny we are overdue... This has been the longest stretch of consoles without a rush to compete for the next Gen that i can remember. Its been what, 6 years? Thats crazy.

    Still, its not like people are dissaponted with the quality of games right now, and that seems to be apparent to the big 3...

    of somewhat i agree with you because a lot of video game companies are losing money due to lack of gen. i really want a next gen, but then again i don't because i don't want to save up the money

    I do not think that we need the next generation yet. I am happy with how this generation is going and I feel this generation has a lot to offer us.

    I heard rumors that next gen is going to be the final graphical leap, cause it will be using cgi graphics, like the ones you see in final fantasy movies, so imhave hope for the graphics next gen.

    The PC isnt close to those kind of graphics yet,next gen consoles havent got a chance.There will be a nice improvement though but like ShoTTyMcNaDeS wrote there will be big gains in performance.Besides what he touched on Im looking forward to bigger player counts in online games as well.

    you're right about pcs not being their yet, but in a year when next gen releases and get cgi graphics PCs will be there aswell, an of coarse more powerful.

    I'm still content with current consoles for right now. Seeing as how the next Xbox will be most likely launching holiday 2013, I don't think waiting another year and a few months will be that big of a deal. Especially since there are still great games hitting the current consoles.

    I'm really not in a hurry for next-gen. Each system will cost at least $300. That's a lot of money right now. Not to mention new controllers, new games, any other peripherals. I like the idea of Nintendo's controllers being backwards compatible, with the exception of the video screen controller, of course.

    I would really not mind if the next XBOX comes out in March or so of 2014. I can have some of my income tax return to help with the costs of a new gaming console.

    I finally have decent TVs for my systems that I am not in a rush for a new console. BTW, though I haven't tried 3D gaming I am not really excited about it either.

    Are you serious? Every game that's coming out except for GTA V is going to suck? You must be really myopic or something.

    I've been wanting the next gen to come for awhile now as well, I've switched consoles a couple times now and this gen has been kinda boring to me. There has been some GREAT games but I've been in the mood for something fresh for quite some time now.
