I thoguht thsi would to be honest, I said that I thought the next gen consoles would end up being rushed in, after the PS3 hacking scandal.

Guess this only could be good for gamers everywere? I dunno. Simple reason in this current climate of bad economics, sales wont be as good as they once were previously
