A Review of PlayStation 4, Xbox 720 & Nintendo's Wii HD Next Generation Consoles

As we already know the console war is probably one of the fiercest (and most rewarding) around, only a few years ago we saw the three main companies, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony release their new generation consoles. But as soon as they hit the shelves the companies started work on the next batch which are due to be released around the year 2011 or 2012.

So let's take a brief look at what these consoles may have in store for us in the future.

Nintendo Wii HD

Nintendo showed the whole world that they are still market leaders when it comes to creating consoles, after a few years of unsuccessful systems, they launched the Wii which ultimately became the fastest selling games console of all time. So what could we possibly expect from them for the next generation? Well every one will be expecting innovation again so potentially the new console may well consist of virtual reality, where you will be able to wear a headset which will track your thoughts and movement and reflect that onto the game.

Xbox 720

It is rumoured that Microsoft will be calling their next console Xbox 720; we can expect a lot more from Microsoft as they look at further domination over Sony. The Xbox 360 sold huge amounts, so expect Microsoft to make the console a lot more enhanced possibly making movie like graphics. I can also see them getting into 3D games, 3D movies are currently very popular so getting into that niche is essential.

PlayStation 4

Well Sony must look at pulling something out of the box, as the PS3 did not sell as well as expected, for two reasons, firstly Microsoft had a much better price tag and secondly they got into the market a lot earlier. I can see Sony looking a doing something innovative but also keeping their graphics in tip top shape, they may well try to muster up deals with some of the brand name game creators to have games only licensed to them selves. I can see them dropping BluRay to enable a much more competitive price.

Whatever rumours are circulating about these consoles I can assure you that its going to be a great battle unfolding in front of us and who knows we may see a new company launch and grab the whole market just as Sony did when they launched their first PlayStation console.
