Honestly I really am not that hyped... Lemme scan my heart a bit... nope... Truly, about all I care about is criticizing what they don't have, but I'm really not excited about it at all. For the first time, this gen, when I see a game I say "that's good enough for me" when it comes to graphics. I never said that in any previous generation. Seeing some concept renders for the next generation, if it really can get true to life, I really think the next generation might be the last new consoles people are going to want for a long while. If it's really that much better, then I think companies are going to have a hard time convincing anyone they should get something more powerful. They may have to actually come up with some real innovations that make for a gaming experience that's impossible at that time to get people's attention...
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
