The president of games firm Crytek has said he believes the next round of consoles from Sony and Microsoft will launch in three or four years' time.

During his keynote speech at the Leipzig GC Developer Conference, Cevat Yerli said: "The PlayStation 4 and Xbox '720' will arrive in 2011 or 2012, we think.

"This is just our estimate - we don't know, and even if Microsoft and Sony told us, I couldn't say because it would be under NDA."

He added: "But we think in three to four years' time, although there are good reasons why it should be 2010 already... but we'll see."

Got a long time to go yet lol, but I wonder what they will be like XD

[Hugo]

I hope the new XBox is earlier than that because it came out earlier than the PS3 anyway.

[Scarlett.]

I wonder which will be the bigger one, and which will be better?

I bet it swaps over again
PS4 - Bigger, more popular
Xbox 3 - Better, but less popular

[andyman]

The 3rd xbox should have blu-ray.

[Tom4784]

The xbox 360 is eventually gonna get taken over by the Ps3 I think. I think the Wii has pretty much won this time. It'll be interesting to see who comes out on top next time. I'm betting on the Ps4, although the next nintendo console will probably win.

[Scarlett.]

I dont really count the Wii, its got rubbish graphics and games lol

I think the PS3 is for hardcore gamers, normal gamers will get the 360 (like how most familys had a PS2)

[andyman]

Anybody that is going to buy the 80gb PS3 should wait for few more months because the 160gb PS3 will be out and will only coast Ł40 more! Ł40 for extra 80gb is worth waiting for.

[Hugo]

I hope the new Nintendo console will be good, I wonder if they'll stick to the motion sensors ?

[Spike]

I'm looking more forward to the Wii 2 which has just got under development
i think the PS4 will be better online and the Xbox 720 will have blu-ray. And both will have some kind of motion sensoring controls. Apart from that i can't see how they could improve.
The Wii 2 will beat them in sales anyway like it has this generation

[Scarlett.]

Nah, the Wii 2 will just be more of the same, I cant see how they can improve it

Theres loads of ways the Wii 2 can be improved
Better graphics, better online, be able to play DVD's, more media options. The list goes on
but it will be hard to improve alot and still keep the cost down to appeal to the usual non gamers.

[Hugo]

Apparently the Wii 2 could be here much sooner than the others maybe late 2009 early 2010.
And there are rumours of a new Sega console to challenge the Wii 2, even though Sega said they weren't going to make another console.

Online is one thing Nintendo need to improve on. The motion sensor system could also be improved alot. There have already revealed better Wii Remote at E3 called the MotionPlus so who knows what they could do in the future.

[Scarlett.]

Thing is, it should have had all them in the first place

The new game consoles can improve loads, there will be new disc drives (an updated Blu ray) and bigger memory better graphics, longer games, possible montion sensoring (There is a new 360 motion sensoring controller under development)

Theres so much more to improve with the gamer game consoles

[Spike]

I have heard the rumours of a new Sega console
I think thats just rubbish though because there is no way Sega would be able to afford bringing out a new console
Sega have just got back to making brilliant games and they should stay to what they do best and not compete because they will just fail

[rayheartbliss]

ps4 doesnt sound right :S

OMG! I hope Sega come back into the Console race

[Scarlett.]

It'd be interesting to see a new competitor in the console race in the new generation

[andyman]

There was whispers about panasonic having plans for a console... It may have been them teaming up with sony in the market.

[Scarlett.]

I'd like to see what they could do

What would it be named I wonder

Its the money tho, alot has to be invested and with microsoft and playstation leading the way it will be hard word trying to get the public to buy another. Plus with the global credit crunch many companies cant afford to invest so much and gain so little... It will take a console with new tech that will blow sony and microsoft away but that takes money investment and time... Sony do that all the time, even the playstation would have been out before 1994.

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, but the credit crunch would be history by the time of 2011

[Conor]

I heard the original Wii was Nintendo's last project. I'd be suprised if we saw another one.

[MR.K!]

there are too many people who dont even have the PS3 to even talk about a PS4. Personally i think the PS3 is amazing and i love the blu_ray

[Scarlett.]

Nintendo's last project?
Im sure they'd make another console, perhaps not the same as the Wii, but a new one non the less
