I did a little bit of research(not much though) and came to the conclusion that in only three years the systems we are all playing now are probably going to be last gen. heres my little bit of research so you can see what I mean:

Atari 2600 1977 8
NES 1985 Years

NES 1985 6
SNES 1991 Years

SNES 1991 5
N64 1996 Years

N64 1996 5
GC 2001 Years

GC 2001 5
Wii 2006 Years

Wii 2006 5
??? 2011 Years


I used Nintendo because they have been front runners in the console wars for the longest time. I know it really doesn't mean much but what I was thinking is if they are not releasing mostly good quality games now how will the next 3 years look. Oh and this is also in response to the people on numerous threads who say its too early to talk about next gen because I'm pretty sure Nintendo, Sony, & Microsoft are.


Just sharing my thoughts and ramblings.
