On the distant horizon, set against the shimmering amber light of the dying current generation sun rides three shadows making their way towards us from the next generation into the now.
Arriving first, likely in 2020 will be the fourth generation Xbox hardware and the fifth generation Playstation console. Trailing behind them and quite premature to talk about would be the eighth generation Nintendo console, at this point presumably a hybrid like its current successful predecessor that's now eighteen months onto the market.
As release for each system builds so will hype, each new piece of information feeding pre-orders and anticipation, swaying consumers on whether to buy one or all. Allegiances can shift as well, a lover of one console changing platform with the new generation.
But - Right now we exist at a point where little to nothing is known, something that will likely change as next year unfolds so the question for Friday is:
Based on your current and past generation experiences, next time around would you buy any of the above next generation consoles without needing to know anything about it due to sheer blind faith in the platform?
