The next gen of consoles... a look at the insanity and the well minor stupidity of it all.

     Every once and a while the next generation of gaming is introduced. Personally myself I try to stay on the cutting edge of it as well I like to know what's coming and what will be available to myself the consumer. So this year as both Sony and Microsoft have announced is another E3 year of Next Gen Consoles. I'm not sure if this will be worth the watch or not. Again personally speaking I'm a Sony fan but each thing I hear about the next generation of consoles pushes either a wanting desire or an urge to vomit and give up on gaming. I've heard the rumors and seen the specs, but until the final product is out you can't make a true determination.
     My overall opinion to this madness is a simple question. Will it be worth it and well... is it too soon? There have been overhauls and rebuilds of some of the console models and makes that we are in a generation of ever expanding technology. Are the gaming companies taking things too far too fast trying to stay ahead of the curve? Let's look to the past and the issues and problems of previous releases and the problems that drew the market away from some awesome devices.
Examples:

• PS Vita - This handheld console is a rather intuitive item. It's dual touch body and build up from the PSP design is amazing. The flaw has been the limitation of games to this device. Yeah the library of games is limited and the classic and psp digital transfers are great, but there is much left to build this into the hype that had surrounded it.
• Xbox 360-  yeah it was the first on the market over the PS3 but it's major issue known simply as "Red ring of death" was a major flaw I know several people who bought multiple Xbox360's just to keep playing. The issue still continues to this day.
• PS3 -  I'll admit even the system I love personally had it's flaws. Early models suffered from a yellow light of death, but Sony made sure to replace or repair the issue even if it was no longer under warranty all due to the original complex body design.
• PS3 slim -  Yes this is even known to be flawed mainly for it's non backwards compatibility and just a lacking of hd space.
• All of the current gen gaming devices fall victim to the hd space issue. I'll admit I've filled 2 PS3's with games some I don't wish to delete to make room just because I'm not finished with them yet.

     So game companies if you happen perchance to read this lets take some things into consideration. Make sure if you promise the gaming community something we learn from our mistakes. I'd like to point out that the classic NES and Super NES still function to this day. I'm not going to get into the flawed design of the Nintendo Wii or even the flaws of the Wii U at this time I'll save that as a post for a later date.
