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.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
