Yes, your eyes do not decieve you. We're going all in this time with a full on countdown to what is now the next-generation. We won't be returniing to this thread regularly, instead taking an annual review as we march to the next line of consoles though will take a detour whenever Nintendo decides to drop its true successor to the Switch. The release of new machines is almost precise at this point meaning we start the timer on the march to:
Nintendo Generation 8
Estimated 2024
XBox Generation 5
PlayStation 6
Mid-November 2028
From slim revisions, to mid-gen refreshes, to cloud gaming and more; the evolution of gaming technology and trends continues as the new current gen arrives and appears in a largely similar mould as the machines that arrived seven years prior. Over the coming seven years we will see two very similar machines pursue two different visions of how they feel the gaming market will evolve over the coming years.
At the seven years out marker we're going to ask the most interesting question to come back to in 2027:
What is you honest prediction for the outcome of the current generation, the form that the next Xbox and PS6 will take, the state of the gaming market and where you will be in your own life at the next major console launch period?
