Lets see if Mr Hank is right, well we got to wait a couple of years for that to happen. This post will then be archived. Well we dont really know, Nintendo may release another console they may not, well we got to wait another 5-7 long years, by then technology will be really high, satellite internet connections, plasma tv screens, digital this and that....xbox2/ps3, possibly Ninteno Gamecube 2. Who knows?!!

I know, every console developers develop a new console every 5-7 years. As time goes by Technology goes by, new tech comes in the old tech dies! I think technology is going to over the board, you never know in a few years we may have "flying cars, robots, hoverboards, mobile phones with video cameras, ogg vorbis players, etc etc...", too much too little money to pay for these items.

Ummm..... read the posts 2 & 3 places below yours, see, not all of us are getting excited.
Anyway, people who want the xbox2 and PS3 have got something to be excited about since there current consoles are crud (Unless they've got a GC which is highly unlikely)

Why you getting all excited over whats going to happen in the future? The the current consoles not good enough for you? and in 5-7 years time when the next gen ones are out, will you complain then aswell? JEEEEEEEEES

oh yeah, those names suck, there's no way they'll call it Gamecube after huge confusions between the SNES and NES, it'll be something like - the Nintendo Dolphin (again).

Exactly! What is the point in looking forward to a console 5-7 years away when we just got the GC!, thats like saying, Okay - the snes was released yesterday, II wonder what the N64 will look like. Wait a couple of years before having this conversation again, or i won't be happy. :(

5-7 long years? We just got the GC!
