[QUOTE="Kemetman72, post: 104426, member: 1225"] As soon as the next version, let's say the ipad, is released it might as well be called obsolete or at least it's days are numbered. Companies are always working on the "next gen" of products. I remember when Ken Kuteragi creator of the PS2 and PS3 said that the PS3 would be a console which people would work two jobs for. Well let's say in Japan if something real big doesn't go their way they step down and so did he. Now flash forward to today. If I read in another article that Mark Cerny has said "The PS4 is a high-end PC" I'll puke. I know it's just hype, because if it were really that high-end we'd be able to play 4k games in ultramax settings. My son has an AMD 8 core that stock is rated at 4.0 ghz. He has it overclocked close to 5 ghz. So either Cerny is nuts or Sony themsleves NEEDS to win this time around. R&D can take quite some time as all of you know, but it's weird how both Sony and M$ used the same company. I am only commenting on the PS4 because they're the ones who seem to be more aggressive on the ad side and in interviews. So if our Xbox 360/PS3 are current gen what the heck is the WII U?
