I think the 7th Generation Console war has blown its wad.
With MGS4, CoD4, Gears of War/2, Halo, Battlefield, Resistance,etc,etc showing us everything that the systems are capable of, I'm left feeling that there are very few major releases to look forward to on current hardware.

Its time for them to start hyping us up for the next console release.

And I pray to God CRYSIS will be a launch title.]]>Jul 29th 2008 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/sonys-profits-drop-drastically-this-quarter-spider-man-4-nee/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/sonys-profits-drop-drastically-this-quarter-spider-man-4-nee/

They need to upgrade the PSP too .. they haven't done that.

Their company is run by MBA wielding executives. .. not by technologists with taste (contrast with Apple). Also, many of their divisions compete with each other and don't share technology .. which obviously only serves to dramatically worsen the problem.

If you mean hardware upgrades (like the much-desired second analogue stick), consider the fragmentation that will cause and the fact that developers will still need to code to two separate devices (the 'have' and the 'have-nots').

Same goes for any other major change to the hardware like a touchscreen; still the need to target both devices. Major changes won't happen, IMO.

Firmware upgrades, I expect more of those, though.
