It seems like most people think that Nintendo will release their next console before Sony & Microsoft. I just don't understand that. If anything, they would release their console after Sony & Microsoft. If a console is so successful, why wouldn't you just let it keep selling.  Am I missing something. I don't understand a lot of things, but this just doesn't make sense to me. I know it's going to be out of date but that hasn't stopped from selling 20+mil a year. Please, enlighten me.

Simple pattern recognition - the more powerful a console is, the longer it stays on the market. Why else would the xbox and GC have lasted longer than the PS2? And the N64 longer than the PS1? And the Mega Drive lasting longer than the Snes?
