How long do you want this generation to last?

@ The people saying 2011 - 12.

Are you guys serious? The world of video games is growing, and everything is changing. This generation games have went mainstream to a consumer that is njot going to want to take a plunge every 5 - 6 years. We continue to ask for bigger and better games, and we have got to accept that massive undertakings, are not going to be able to be pumped out every 2 or 3 years. It is differant times in the industry.

This generation nees to last for a very long time, allowing developers to get back into profit, and benifit from the large instal bases. We need to give developers like Square, Team Ico, Remedy, Polyphony Digital, Kojima Productions, and the like time to really take advantage of the consoles out on the market right now. If we start pushing them to move to new consoles that need new tools and new knowlegde, at the same rate we have in the past, we are going to see more devs bite the dust. We need to let these developers make a good 3 to 4 games for PS3 and 360, and that means consoles that last anywhere from 8 - 12 years.

I don't understand why some people are now all good with the idea of a new console coming out that is nothing more than they have, as long as it is cheap. The GC - Wii kind of leaps will put me out of the game faster than Mike Tyson could KO people back in his prime. Never in my life did I imagine a time when people would say I don't want better products. Just give me the same thing I already have in a new case, and slightly over price it.
