Next-gen?

[sum182oftheyear]

Stupid question, but why is it still being called "next-gen", I mean, all three consoles are out, shouldn't it be the current-gen now?

Because the PS2 and Xbox arent dead.

Thread opened.

Im with sum on this one.

Well the PS3 isn't even out in Europe yet and the PS2 still has a lot of new games being released

[HavokChylde]

Consoles tend to release games for a while after they're over with. Most are dumbed down ports, but eh. Sometimes people can't afford the higher class systems for a while. Gives us broke guys a chance to catch up, and the companies to make a little bit of profit from us at the same time.

Next-Gen is just the term for the newest systems out on the market. (most expensive too :P) Once everyone starts the rumors for Ps4, XBox 1080 (:tongue:), and Nintendo's next creation, they will be referred to as Next-Gen, and the PS3, 360, and Wii will all be referred to as Curren-Gen, or whatever else applies.

So to sum up, it's the systems after current-gen, a little during current gen, and before the "next-next-gen" rumors erupt.

Simple enough, right? Maybe I just made it way too complicated. lol

So how long will it take until they are called current gen consoles?

I think by the time summer hits us there will be no more next gen talk. The Xbox and PS2 have only a few titles coming out and will eventually die off.

As has allready been said, I think it will stop being refered to when #1 the "next gen" of consoles is announced or when the PS2/Xbox die off...

I was submitting my opinion, and I realize that people already said part/all of what I said hence the "AS HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID"...
