This timeline will show us the Future of Video Games.

8th Generation (2012-2019)
The 8th Genration will be fought mainly between Microsoft's Xbox One, Sony's Playstaion 4 ,and Nintendo's Wii U. Notable consoles will include the OUYA and the Steam box.

The Wii U will have an early lead over Mircrosoft and Sony by the end of 2013 (Due to a 1 year head start against it's competion.) However both the PS4 and Xbox one will be catching up. Grand Theft Auto 5 will be announced "Game of the Year 2013." The 3DS will see an increase in sales while Playstaion Vita sales will decline. By the end of 2013 the Wii U will have reached 4.3 million in sales while both the Xbox one and PS4 will both have 2.5 million in sales. In early 2014 the PS4 will only need less than a million units to be sold in order to outsell the Wii U.
