In a somewhat direct approach, Nicholas from OXCGN tackles an issue that may have been trickling around in your mind: new consoles.

Using Battlefield 3 as evidence, an interesting article details how we need the next generation to at least be in sight.

Battlefield 3 is looking to be shooter of the year, and an all-time classic to set the precedent for what will be a very deciding decade of interactive entertainment.

As a gamer who owns all of the consoles and who builds (and loves) the PC platform, I can’t help but feel pity for those who will be playing the title on a console.

The PC version will run at true 1080p HD visuals, have support for 64-player multiplayer scenarios, and features unrestricted map size.

The console versions, on the other hand, will run at bare minimum-HD 720p, support a maximum of 24-player multiplayer, and have cut-down maps.

Let’s face it: this is clear, blatant evidence that the current generation of consoles are horribly outdated, and are hindering what gaming can aspire to ascertain.
