I agree, but the 6 year cycle would have hit perfectly last holiday season and, with the WiiU lacking, would have satiated a large section of console gamers that are waiting for more powerful hardware.
And the extra year isn't getting them much on the hardware front. If anything, the extra time is being spent on the service and social platform which, although necessary and important, may mean the difference between a big head start and an even race.
- alexPetrov 13y agoI don't see either the PS4 or the Durango doing much better than the Wii U. I think how much better they do growth-wise will be based entirely on how much money they are willing to burn for proper software exclusives and a reasonably priced console. It is the games that will sell the consoles, and I do not see third-parties flocking to more expensive development costs with incredibly low potential consumers. What incentive do third-parties have to develop for new hardware when the old hardware has a much higher install base? I for one expect all next generation consoles to have growth rates similar to that of the Gamecube. I do not think it matters much when the consoles launch, either.
