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.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
