- See also: analyst predictions
All news and rumors related to future systems including the PlayStation 4, Xbox Next, Wii 2 and the portable systems, PSP 2 and Nintendo DS 2. All names are tentative. Preliminary expectations, prognostications, speculation on when the next-generation of video game consoles and portable systems will arrive and what features they will contain (those following PS3/360/Wii and DS/GBA/PSP).
They have been titled by bloggers and the media tentatively as Playstation 4 (PS4), Xbox 720, Wii 2, Nintendo DS 2, Game Boy Advance 2, Playstation Portable 2 (PSP2).
Current-gen release dates for reference
- 360 - Nov. 2005 (yearly motherboard updates)
- PS3/Wii - Nov. 2006
- DS - Nov. 2004, DSLite - Mar. 2006, DSi - November 2008
- PSP - Dec. 2004, PSP Slim - Sept. 2007, PSP-3000 - October 2008
- GBA - Mar. 2001, GBA SP - Feb. 2003
PS3 is expected to have a 10 year lifetime. This, however, does not mean the PS4 won't arrive until 2016. The PS4 and PS3 can coexist, just like the PS2 is supported over two years after PS3's release.
