I mean the current gen's consoles tech is over five years old! Why do you think Battlefield 3 on consoles couldn't have the same features as it's PC counterpart? It simply couldn't handle it. Just doing a quick search on release dates, it seems like with every 5-6 years, a new generation is introduced. With the PS3 and Wii releasing in 2006, we've had the systems for six years, we're due for a new generation. With a new generation, consoles could have the current tech of computers, and be able to go to "the next level," for lack of a better term. Also with the introduction of a new generation there will be new IPs. That's why I felt that this year's E3 was so... boring. It seemed like there we only sequels showcased and gimmicky movement based games, except Last of Us, Watch Dogs, and Beyond off the top of my head. MICROSOFT NEEDS IPs haha.

both were minor upgrades from their predecessors!
in fact i found the texture detailing in uncharted 3 to be lower of uncharted 2!

Though frankly, I think this generation still has life in it for a couple of years or more. More exclusives means more powerful results. Look at Gears of War 3 and Uncharted 3. If these were multiplatform, sure, they'd look horrible and have even more limitations, but as it stands, they're technological gems in gaming.

PC gamers need it most so we can FINALLY stop having to put up with crappy console ports! well slightly, they will still be crappy console ports but at least they wont be held back as much because the gap between them will be allot smaller. besides that though id like to think once developers get new systems they will have the confidence to do something different. now were just getting the same shit over and over again because thats what sells! but every time a new generation starts we start to see new franchises and new experiences. so we need it for both the power advancements, feature advancements, and difference advancements. also id like to believe a new generation will make developers stop focusing on big flashy set pieces and focus on the gameplay more! prime example uncharted 3 was such a better game than uncharted 2! most games are uncharted 2, all they care about is flashy graphics and big set pieces! to hell with how interesting and fun a game is! uncharted 3 is the opposite. it looks very nice, has a few set pieces, but its far more interested and focused on telling a story. and a dam good one at that! so id like to believe with next gen systems instead of every game being from michael bay we can FINALLY start to see some more sophisticated thinking man games! we need more inception and less transformers! of course we do!

well slightly, they will still be crappy console ports but at least they wont be held back as much because the gap between them will be allot smaller.
besides that though id like to think once developers get new systems they will have the confidence to do something different.
now were just getting the same shit over and over again because thats what sells!
but every time a new generation starts we start to see new franchises and new experiences.
so we need it for both the power advancements, feature advancements, and difference advancements.
also id like to believe a new generation will make developers stop focusing on big flashy set pieces and focus on the gameplay more!
prime example uncharted 3 was such a better game than uncharted 2!
most games are uncharted 2, all they care about is flashy graphics and big set pieces!
to hell with how interesting and fun a game is!
uncharted 3 is the opposite.
it looks very nice, has a few set pieces, but its far more interested and focused on telling a story.
and a dam good one at that!
so id like to believe with next gen systems instead of every game being from michael bay we can FINALLY start to see some more sophisticated thinking man games!
we need more inception and less transformers!

XD I will save money for a new TV for myself, maybe a Sony 32" 3D TV, but I don't see that happening since a lot of games are coming out. :D The thing is I have a awesome PS3 but a CRT TV.
