Nvidia CEO Talks Next-Gen Consoles 173

kukyfrope writes "Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of Nvidia recently shared his thoughts with the San Jose Mercury News about next-gen consoles, claiming that developing a chip for the 360 was too expensive and that the inclusion of a Blu-ray player will help the console last for 10 years. Huang also predicts that the 360 cannot afford to be a DVD-only system by Christmas 2007, likening the 360-DVD vs PS3-Blu-ray battle to the Dreamcast-CD vs PS2-DVD battle. 'The first PlayStation had a CD-ROM drive. The PlayStation 2 had DVD. It makes no sense for the PlayStation 3 to use DVDs. To postpone it by a few months so they could include Blu-ray was a master stroke. When that comes out, it's going to look so much more advanced than last-generation game consoles,' Huang said."

    Just as Sony has talked about the PS2 having a ten-year lifespan, Huang believes that the PS3 will also last ten years

    So, we're talking about perhaps a 2016 Release Date for PS4? Just making sure, so I can start saving up my $$ now ... cause I'm sure it'll be pricey!
