Next Home Consoles

[diablo2]

Other would include none or Phamtom or something.
I'm going with Xbox 2.
Can't wait to see when modchips come out for it and good emulators come out.

 

[Hwrd]

The new Nintendo machine is codenamed presently as "Revolution" and is expected to be nonstandard (nontypical?) like the DS. (I am impressed with the direction of the DS).

I expect the video hardware to be not that different form the XBOX2, so that won't be a factor; and I am most impressed with the offbeat GC titles such as Animal Crossing, Cubivore, Pikmin.

Am enjoying Katamari Damacy right now too though...

I just wanna see something different, since there probably will be an Xbox2, PS3, and the "Revolution" :lol: :lol: :lol: . I'd like to see a new company stomp all of them [but leaving Nintendo with enough money to still make consoles].


P.S.: The "Revolution"!!! HAHAHA!!!

...wait... am I the only one that finds that amusing??? Well, it is just a codename... :unsure:

 

[Vimacs]

how can you allready ask this? thats a plain fanboy question, not even the specs are known.
well, i go for the next sega console

 

[Blah]

I'm still waiting for Sega to release something new and destroy them all!

I thought Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony caused Sega to lose too much money to ever make a new console, during the Dreamcast thing....

...but maybe they gained enough back on second thought... :unsure:

​

Who knows :rolleyes:. But I think they could just increase the price of their arcade machines by a few bucks and crap one out. But they may have given up on home consoles forever .

 

[Tobriand]

Yeah, Sega said they were out of the soncole market now. Though I wouldn't bank on their staying that way in 10 years' time.

 

[Shadow of Chaos]

sega's games will still be on all consoles, for now though..

if you ask me the Dreamcast wasnt their biggest problem, it was mainly the Mega cd, i bet they lost a fortune from that.. the Saturn wasnt all that good either.

 

[rattboi24]

Aren't Xbox 2 and GC 2 going to use similar PowerPC chips and similar video chipsets? Actually, I thought I heard that PS3 will use a similar video chipset as well. I don't really see any difference between them at this point, except first-party titles.

Oh, and PS3 is going to use HD-DVD? or Bluray?

 

[boblibob]

im going for the Revolution all the way , the past few generations of consoles have been to set in there ways improving graphics , and ONLY improving graphics , i mean geazus christ the ps2 still only has 2 controller ports XD.

Nintendo have quite plainly pointed out that photo realistic graphics are now possible , so whats the need to put super jumped up power into a console , i can see them putting in the hardware to keep the junkies happy , but the revolution is gonna have something special about it ..... something very special ......

personally one thing i like to see all of the consoles do is have built in inferred for the pads

and then just use a toggle on the pad somewhere to set between 1, 2, 3 ,4 , then they cud do away with pad slots and have the console in funky shapes XD

my 2 pennys

 

[aapje89]

I think the ps3 is going to use bluray disc's

 

[Octavious]

whats HD-DVD and bluray???

~Octavious
and ya, next gen are goona be similar, but the xbox will be best because its using the same type of chips and set up as a g5

 

[aapje89]

On a site they said this:

The specifications of the new Xbox console have been leaked to the internet, if the document is - as many experts believe - genuine. If true the machine will be hugely powerful, being driven by three 3.5Ghz PowerPC G5 CPUs - similar chips to the dual 2Ghz G5 Macs that Apple claim are the fastest computers around.

how much would that cost, as much as a PC ? LOL

 

[PinkSpider]

I'll hopefully be buying a modded Xbox and PS2 as they will be sufficiently cheap enough and they will offer me my gaming kicks.

 

[Hwrd]

I am pretty certain that I read that Sony stated the PS3 will use Blu-Ray.

I read something about the XBOX2 processors being multiple but not clocked at 3.5 Ghz; more like 2'ish GHz.

Regardless, it will have fantastic graphics, but I expect all the systems will.

 

[Memnoch]

All three eventually no doubt.

 

[Goity]

so xbox 2 is gonna have 3X3.5ghz or what ever? or they will all add up to 3.5ghz?
