The battle to lead the next generation is a never-ending one in the gaming industry. And while none of the major console manufacturers wants to talk specifics, developers in the know say Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are already hard at work putting together their next systems.

1@apujanata,
Exactly right, I know that the motion control idea for the Wii was already in the early stages of r+d about 8-10 years ago, before even the GC came out, and they definetly would have had different projects on the go at the same time.
What suprised me is that Forbes made the point that they were already being developed sound so suprising.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids
2@vGInfidel,
It is always a given that by the time a new H/W launched, the designer of that H/W is already hard at work at the next version of H/W.
In fact, within Nintendo, there are usually at least 2 simultaneous version of next-gen (console or portable), and the executives choose between those competing versions and decide the winner, who will then be announced to the world.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids
1@oznerol,
Really?!?! who would have thought it?
This really is stating the obvious, as soon as the current gen was launched, they all would have gone on a holiday for a couple of weeks and then straight after be back at work on the next gen console. They dont seriously think the designers have been sat twidling their thumbs for the past 2-3 years do they?
oznerol please dont take my sarcasm as me thinking the article shouldnt have been posted as in the Too Human demo, i was commenting on the content from Forbes and not the fact you posted it.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

It is probably due more to the fact that Forbes isn't really the place where people have good knowledge of videogames. Any "hardcore" gamer could easily tell you this information and find it just business as usual.
