360, can it last?

Sony’s Kaz Hirai said the PS3 has a 10 year life cycle, and that the Xbox 360 will only last for 4-5 years. I personally don’t believe we as gamers are ready for the “Next Generation”. Some of us still call this generation next-gen. The power and ease of the 360 will allow developers plenty of power to keep pushing the standards. You couple that with the fact that the 360 has a higher penetration rate and a higher attach rate. Developers are in this business to make money, and it has been proven with every NPD release that the 360 pays them more. That’s before you take into account the Live Marketplace. I would love to see the PS3 and the 360 still competing at the 10 year mark, but I don’t think I’ll be playing them at that point. (more…)

Greetings and salutations friends, both old and new. We are here together, setting sail on a new adventure. But before we go too much further, we want to thank you for coming to the site and showing your support. Now we want to talk a little about why we are here. Rejected Gamer is the creation, spawn if you will, from the ideas that Keman and I have been throwing around for awhile. We learned a lot during our stay at XBLRadio and had a lot of fun with the other hosts, but we felt that it was time to move on and be ourselves, hence Rejected Gamer was born. (more…)
