Playstation 4 slated to be released in 2010.

Want to know about a game? Should we buy that new upcoming release? Post your thoughts on new games and ones you have...so others can know whether to buy it or not! All non-SWBF, non-modding topics should go here.

Resident Evil 4? I'm quite sure that didn't come for Xbox.

Bottom line is it's got all this power and nothing to use it on.
Precisely. But the shelf life argument won't hold water. Now that it is out, Microsoft and Nintendo now have a goal to beat hardware wise. And they also see the mistakes that the ps3 has and won't repeat them. So yes the ps3 raised the bar, but it came out of the gate wobbling and limping. MS won't be outperformed, so expect something similar in the works in the near future, if not already on the drawing board. They will learn from Sony's mistakes so Sony better get it's [BAACOONN!!] in gear or it will loose the console war like Sega did with Sony. (I'm in the mood for a Baconator from Wendy's, can't you tell? :P)

Sega Mega Drive/Genesis... Gotta love that machine... Maybe I gotta get one just for Golden Axe 2 and Sonic...
