Analyst Says New New Microsoft, Nintendo Consoles by 2010
February 14, 2008
Washington (dbTechno) - An analyst has come out and stated that he believes that Nintendo and Microsoft will have new consoles out by the year 2010, with a new Xbox and possibly a new Wii console as well. 2010 will also be the end for the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP.
Pacific Crest Securities analyst Evan Wilson stated to investors that he believes that Nintendo and Microsoft will have new consoles out by 2010.
He stated that “We believe that peak industry sales will occur in 2010.”
He stated by then Microsoft will introduce a new Xbox console that year, and Nintendo will also likely launch their new console that year, or even before that.
He stated that 2010 will also mark the end of the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP cycles, making way for a new Nintendo handheld as well as possibly a new Sony handheld.

This is absolute nonsense. There will most definitely not be a new Wii in 2010. It has been a sellout for 2 Christmas holidays straight, and Nintendo can’t even keep up with demand for the Wii in early 2008, almost a year and a half after its launch. The Wii’s life cycle will more likely be like that of the Playstation 2, which is still going strong after 7 years! Incidentally, 7 years was the amount of time between the release of the NES and the Super NES.
Look for Wii 2 in November 2013.
What statistics is this anylisis based on, this is more of a theory then a hypothosis…Two years from now the world should catch on that the PC is the maker of all the video games and as such should stay on the PC…
I’d say the Wii & 360 are out classed in hardware performance by the PS3, they have to bring out new units to keep up with Sony and the march of computer performance increases.
Consols by their computer nature need to be replaced every few years to keep up with the technology advances.
My guess is the next gen won’t use discs either.
I wrote about this against a Wired article nearly a year ago.
Actually gamers, its called business and you are consumers. So lets be clear.
1) N, S and M made a console and one made money, the others a loss.
2) Money is required for development
3) To own the market is to drive the market (ipod ?!?)
4) Life cycle is not about your games, its about owning the market
5) M and S will just start making money to pay for new development as N rolls out new console, flooding market, meaning… well work it out.
So, Nintendo, who make money and therefore have the money to develop new equipment, will. By ending the pretend ‘lifecycle’ of consoles, they will control the market. It also controls the media, which tells you what you want but only wants to tell you what’s new.
Of course, they already know three handy things.
1) How to make money from day 1 while being cheaper
2) How to make 100% backward compatible consoles
3) (Finally) How to make it an easy transition for developers to code
Welcome to where consoles are like ipods. A new one every year, better and better but it plays everything you already own.
The old model, 7 year cycles is because each console generation required complete relearning by coders etc. Stupid. Like 25 year backward thinking. Alas, like Sony is still thinking. PS1, 2 and 3.
M is more able to think this way. Sony, truth is, they are babes in the wood (in console and computer land).
The final step will be device independent graphics, whereby, using formulas and not pixels, the old game will play better on the new console and the new game will play visually simpler on the old console. Then it won’t matter if you still have Wii, all the new games will run on your console too.
I am a student at a high school in Indiana, I write for our large school newspaper. We write for over 4,000 viewers. I was thinking about writing a story about this article. If anyone could give me contact numbers for Microsoft or Nintendo so I can figure out what exactly is the deal with this. Also, Is that picture above an actual gaming console that the public has? I’m pretty sure it isn’t but you never know… If not can someone give me more information on that console above?
Thanks!
Why would anyone buy yet another ridiculously expensive console. The generation of consoles (PS3, Wii, XBOX360) has been a complete flop. The only reason why people even bought a Wii is because it was cheaper than the other ones. Most Wii’s are sitting on peoples shelves collecting dust.
Why are people still wasting their money on this crap.
Franco are you NUTS? how can you say spending money in a console its worthless, do you know that the videogames business has gone WAY stronger than then Movies business? And for your records, i didnt buy my Wii because it was cheaper than the other consoles, i bought it because Wii is the best video game console ever.
1. Gives you a new whole way to play games.
2. Lets you play GC games not like those Sony asses where PS3 wont let you play PS2 games UNLESS you buy the 1 with 80 Gigas (hard disk).
3. On Xbox 360 you have to pay for online access i mean what the hell.
Sony and Microsoft are always like money and money and money yet nintendo works HARD to give cust a good deal with amazing games. You should reconsider what you just said bout Wii.
James, just to let you know PlayStation are losing money on every ps3 the sell.
Nintendo is personally my favorite 1st party company, because they know how to do things right. MIcrosoft and Sony are good too, but red ring of death, expensive, hard to develop for (PS3). I own a 360 and not a wii but i want a wii (I did own one before but it got stolen), besides new zelda should be awesome
I agree with you, but there wasn’t any new ones in 2008. So there must be new ones in 2009.Just in case chek in 2009.
Ya know that picture of that xbox, well that was so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey dude i agree with you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly,the Xbox 360 and the PS3 cant get that much better the way there going,
but the Wii has opened things up for Nintendo alot with the motion and movement, so watch for possible Nintendo consoles. And Rob,although the Playstation 2 has been around a long time, when the PS3 finally came out,the Wii and Xbox 360 had already been around for a while and a lot of people already had them and they didnt want some overpriced new console,and thats why hardly anyone buys the PS3 now.Nintendo knows that and does not want to be beaten in the 8th gen.JUST CUZ SOMETHING IS GOOD NOW, DOESNT MEAN ITS GONNA BE GOOD LATER.
I think that all yall are stupid I brought my xbox because of
1: graphics
2: the games
3: the enjoyment
4: and i ;love Microsoft
I brought my playstaion 3 for the exact same reasons but i like sony better than microsoft
STUPID STUPID STUPID
First off i think it is funny as hell that half of you people can’t spell. ha ha ha ha ha. but the Xbox is the greatest system out there and i honestly can’t wait until they come out with there next gen.
microsoft is coming out with/developing a program somewhat like the wii with the full body motion, but gets rid of the controller completely, it looks interesting, check it out at xbox.com
ps3 pwns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
matt: you’re an idiot.
Second, yeah this is wrong, they’ve admitted that increased technology shows less graphical improvement leaps to the casual gamer (in other words, shit looks really good now, and even with improving details, it’s nothing like the jump from ps1 to ps2, or n64 to gamecube).
They’ve said something like 2014 for new consoles… really long lifespans.
ps3 produces 1080p with optical audio out. your basically buying a bluray player that plays the games as well, some games in 1080p witch look alot better than xbox and the sound is also much much better. xbox has a better online network but you pay for it. i also think xbox has a better controller. but dollar for dollar the ps3 does more for the money and in my opinion is a much better purchase. if you want the best of the best for gaming and online play biuld a sick pc. but if you want awsome graphics,sound,games,bluray,memory card readers, slide shows, ability to load a seperate os and a classy looking case for beneath your expensive tv then buy a ps3.
Jonny, the 360 has 1080p too.Just not the blue ray deal which is basically the main reason why its 700. How the game looks on both consoles are pretty much the same. of course its a matter of opinion.
Okay, everyone gets there due in the console wars.
Nintendo, very smart buy bringing in a ‘new’ technology with the motion. It worked with marketing and supply and demand. They have sold an incredible amount of consoles which gives them the revenue they need for their next consloe being developed. Now that Nintendo has a new following of fans, and if they bring in a powerful system to handle the HD graphics for the next console… watch out!!!
Microsoft, great move bringing in their console a year earlier then Sony and pricing it very well. The console may have had its issues but has really been able to put a hole into Sony’s market share. Since, they are still making money on this generation and will be able to get out their next version sooner; it looks like a great future for xbox followers.
Sony, too late, too expensive. Trying to bring up the back of the pack, but it may be too late for this round of the console wars. They are only now producing comparitive games for what the system capable of providing. However, as everyone knows they are lossing money hand over fist on every console. They cannot afford to turnaround and produce their next console and leave current PS3 owners in the cold. PS3 will always have their faithful followers, but the leash is going to be a lot shorter; They better start making smart decisions for their fans and their future.
Okay, my mind on the console wars is just stupid… They all do their own things differently, some a bit more better than others. My favorite console is 360/PC. But I use my 360 more cause my current PC is low end. The PS3 is close 2nd, and the wii is 3rd. But my all time favorite console is, PS1
Ok, first things first, everyone talking about their favorite consoles is completely biased, including me, even though i’ll try not to be. here are the pros and cons of the CONSOLES and not the companies that make them or market them.
wii-has intuitive hand controller design, is relatively cheap, and has amazing 1st party games. Sadly, the third party games usually suck ( to me) and 1st party games take ages to come out. also, friend communications is absolutely horrible. in my opinion, they prioritized on making a family console.
xbox-has great graphics, good controller, great system communication with friends(parties) and many excellent games, both 1st and third party. However, you have to pay for online multiplayer and parties, which sucks. this console appeals mainly to nerdy hardcore gamers (sniff) like me who actually post this crap
Ps3- Has many great games like the xbox, has blue ray, and online is great and free. thats really all i know about the system, but it is equal in my eyes to the xbox
k im not a nerd or nothing i just wanted to kno if if their was going to be any new consles out in 2010 “my favorite being the ps3″ so i started looking up on google and it lead me to this page..i got hooked on reading the comment and i wanted to be a part of THE CONVERSATION for onece. i own a ps3 and only a ps3 my frinds with 360 realy get into their games they acualy go out n rent a game like every week n BEAT IT!
idk i rented Assasence creed2 “forgive me for i kno not how to spell”haha..
it was sick! sick ass graphics.. ps3 realy does have evry thing you need for gaming who needs more online then it already has”if that makes sence” i mean xbox im guesing it has better online gaming or somthine like tha but ps3 has just enogh to entertain me=]
THA ONLY THING I WISH, unlike the xbox, IS BEING ABLE TO PLAY YOUR MUSIC WILE PLAYING ANY GAME, only game that has ever let me do that was with skate2 witch i own..ANY BODY WANNA START SOME KIND OF POTTITION OR A VOTE OR WATEVER..”you kno wut i mean” to get sony to make a downloadable thingy that’ll let you listen to your music wile playing thatll be great..to me thats tha only thing i think sony forgot to to=] -hit me up to this adress suazofamily7@verizon.net if you kno about doing somthing cuz i sure dont-THANX ALOT
