I don't see this happening next year and maybe even the one after, the PS3 hasn't even been fully utilized yet. Sony just recently started making money in PS3 sales and they have another redesign for the system already in place and ready for a price drop, at this point it doesn't make sense especially when the WiiU has not really shown anything that will make it have a leg up on the competition.

The only thing I think this speculation is really based off of is PS1 and PS2 were around for 6 years before the newer version was released. 6 for the PS3 would make it 2012, but sony will be pushing the Vita pretty hard next year and two systems at once would be a little overkill. Generally, you use the e3 the year before to hype up the system, so maybe we see it next year, but no launch.

I would think Microsoft would beat Sony to a new console, there were even some rumors around this years E3. I think they would be more likely to have one launch soon.

Not really, consoles typically go in 5 year cycles.

Normally that's the case, but expect the lifespans of the 360 and PS3 to be longer because of the cost of the system and how much the companies were losing on each sale for the first 1-2 years after launch.

Put it this way > Sony spent over 1 billion in research and development for the PS3 and then lost around 200 a system for each one sold for the first 1 1/2 years after the launch.

I'd expect a good 2-3 more years before a new system from Sony and MS. They just started turning a profit on the systems about 2 years ago and haven't made up enough of the losses to launch a new system. On top of that, R&D just started for MS for it's new system.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
