Next-gen console wars already?
Wow, it is almost a full year away; however, the hype has already begun. Sony has announced that it will unveil the Playstation 3 at next year's E3. Now, analysts are speculating that Microsoft will have to match that date since they already claimed they would beat Sony to market with the Xbox Next.
As an avid console gamer, I am definitely interested in seeing the next generation machines; however, starting the battle a year out is a little bit ridiculous IMO. I'm still happy with my Xbox, Dreamcast and even the Sega Genesis. I just hope that Microsoft stays focused on gaming only and doesn't try to follow Sony down the home entertainment path.
