Technology continues to evolve each day, players continue to want a game with new features, and developers continue to try to do it in order to satisfy their buyers. It's just a game that they should always be matched with existing technology. This has encouraged the new console generation continues to appear every certain period. In this modern era, a generation console superbly maintained 5-7 years before switching to the next generation. In contrast to the earlier generation could spend 10 years or more.
While it has developed a generation, some games still had to be released in the older generation is probably because the game was already created for the console and do not have time and money to develop a version of the console that is new, or simply because the console is still crowded and do not need a lot of money is spent to create a version of the old console. Whatever the reason, each console must have "game cover" himself before completely abandoned by the developer. Here is the latest game released in each console.
