Carmack - The next generation will arrive in a couple of years

It will be 10 times more powerful than speaking with Eurogamer John Carmack, the graphics engine guru, said that the new Xbox and the new PlayStation will be available in a couple of years. The programmer also added that the new console will be 10 times more powerful than at present and this time to fully exploit will serve at least a decade.

Besides the problem, according to Carmack, is just to swim in the sea of possibilities of new hardware being able to actually create something amazing, something that convinces the audience that it's time to change hardware. To do this you will need to create something really complex. In fact, more resources and more detail will ask more complex models, worlds richest, most careful design.

A problem is not insignificant when you consider what has grown in the last two generations, the cost of design and development of a technically advanced game. Source: Eurogamer
