Electronic Arts suggest that rather than Sony and Microsoft releasing
a PS4 and XBox 720 that they will actually release in-between models
such as a Playstation 3.5 and an XBox 560. The reason for this is that
Sony and Microsoft didn’t get the ball rolling as well as previous
generations and that 2011 is just too quick for next-gen consoles to be
launched.
For that reason it is expected that Sony and Microsoft will launch
these mid updates to the hardware to extract more out of them.
What are your thoughts on this? Would you like to see another
PS3/XBox 360 being created as a stepping stone to the real next-gen
consoles? I do think there is a lot that can be done with the current
generation of consoles, but 2 – 3 years is quite a while away still and a
lot of advancements in technology will happen in this time period. It
will be great seeing what path the 2 console makers are going to travel.
