I'd be surprised to see Microsoft enter the handheld gaming market. They'd have better luck on working on a platform to cut away a slice of the iPhone market.

They should make a counterpart similar to the iPhone, the Zune wasn't exactly a good one.
Nononononononononononono. Please. I really hope the DSi is the last version of the DS, and it lasts to at least 2012. Then Nintendo can bring out the true successor to the dual-screened wonder. Wii2? 2012 or 2013, more like. Unless it somehow bombs within the next two years, I'd like to see it later, not sooner. Oh, and an "Xbox Portable" would be way too risky for Microsoft.
the Zune HD is Microsoft's 3rd gaming pillar... it is set to compete with the iPhone, and to be integrated into their LIVE Anywhere idea...
The only company that actually needs a next get console would be Sony, but I doubt even they will release anything before 2012...

PS3 will prob be goin strong for another 4 years at LEAST according to Sony. They system is was slated for a 10 yr life cycle. They would be stupid to even talk about PS4 now that the PS3 is finally affordable and starting to sell. Im happy with my systems at the moment. Im tired of new ones.

We don't need any new consoles. Video game innovation is at its peak, we can't climb any higher. We try, and we're just going to slip and fall flat on our faces.

I have to agree with Odnetnin 100%.

With Natal being released soon (is it still sometime in 2010?) I'd be very surprised to see a new Xbox so soon. I know Microsoft have said Natal will pave the way for a new Xbox 360, but I'd expect its actual successor just to be brought forward anyway. With DSi and the PS3 Slim, and Wii's expected longevity, I think the seventh generation is going to be a very long one.
Nintendo DSi XL :- early 2010 Project Natal :- late 2010 Official successor to Xbox 360 :- 2011 Official successor to Nintendo DS :- early 2013 Official successor to Wii :- late 2013 Official successor to PlayStation 3 :- 2014
I don't know the state of play with PSP but I don't think there'll be another one after the flop that was the PSP Go (so I've heard - as I say, out of the loop with that one). I also don't think there'll be a Microsoft handheld any time soon.
If any of these companies have a bit of sense about them, the next generation will TRULY be a home entertainment system. So we're looking at DVD/online-video/TV-tuner playback with TiVO-like functionality, music library capabilities (MP3, AAC, WMA, etc), maybe even taking on computer-only tasks (word processing & spread sheeting), in addition to a truly awesome video gaming experience.

The Xbox 360 can do all that, and the PS3 can do some of that too... If you have a PC with a Windows version with Media Center, with an Xbox 360, you can have a TRULY Home Entertainment System as you call it...

DarkG, obviously you pair up any system with a PC (which can do it all ... depending on what sort of game select you prefer) and you'll have a true home entertainment system ... and that's my point. It needs to be paired up with a PC. The next generation systems should do away with the PC. A single unit, all the capabilities. None of them, not even the XBOX360, can do it all.
