Before I get started on this I would like to say that I'm going to look at it from a generally broad view of it. It seems as though that many people have their prediction for 2011. Whether it be sports related to the stock market,these predictions are made by either people who do interviews of whoever person who works for whatever company. People who think what is going to be changed or promoted. Now predominately I would revolve around predictions made for the gaming industry. So what better thing to talk about.
Here is some stats that I pulled from Suite101.com "2010 was a year of evolution, not revolution, for the video game industry, with Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony all enjoying strong sales success. PlayStation Move and Kinect introduced motion control to the PS3 and Xbox 360, while the launch of OnLive pointed to a possible future where cloud gaming makes us rethink what our concept of a games console actually is." Some people where saying that the PS4 and Xbox 3 is said to come out soon but Sony and Microsoft say that "We hope Move and Kinect will breathe life into our aging consoles." Now this leads me to believe that they will not be making a Next Generation console until the second half of 2011. Sony will most likely be announcing the PSP2 at E3 in July. I don't really have any other information as far as what's going to be released (If you want to read more on the article here is the link.) www.suite101.com/content/future-predictions-for-the-2011-video-game-industry-a325600
Personally as a gamer all of this heavily affects me. For reasons like what I am to be looking for or what I am to anticipate. I am more than likely going to be shelling out a good chunk of money for all of this so I'm going to have to get a job or obtain money some way or another. Overall 2011 looks promising for gamers and the gaming industry. I hope that fellow gamers alike will think so as well.
