Durch die Entwicklungen auf dem Konsolenmarkt ist eine Neudefinition von Next-Gen notwendig geworden. Diese Kolumne möchte begründen, warum wir eigentlich von einer "PlayStation 3.5" reden müssen und die nächste Generation schon im Herbst beginnt.
PS3.0: The Patch and Update Console

Another reason why we don't need to have a Xbox 720 or PS4 right now is the online component of the consoles. This is taken for granted today, but the impact should again be emphazied. What we have now are regular firmware updates and extensions of the dashboard. And that's an outstanding innovation!
Instead of being able to expand the operating system not until the next generation, ongoing improvements are possible now. Best example: With the Playstation firmware 3.40 Sony's PS3 became 3D-ready. So we we would have every right to speak of the PS3 as "PlayStation 3.4" or of the Xbox 360 as "Xbox 360 v2.0". Even the Upscaling of DVD movies on HD level was implemented afterwards via a firmware update. The performance of a console does not solely depend on its hardware anymore; the lines between the

generations can't be drawn so sharply.
Speaking of 3D abilities: In our PS4- and Xbox 720-Special we expected 3D to come with the next generation of Xbox and PS4. Funny thing. The fact that 3D gaming's already possible on PS3 shows clearly that PS4 and Xbox 720 are partially contained in the actual generation nowadays.
Furthermore, the current consoles can handle the modern TV standards in great parts - epsecially the PS3 with Blu-ray, Full HD and 3D support.
The conclusion follows on the next page.
