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 I know it's going to be out of date but that hasn't stopped from selling 20+mil a year.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.

Its really up to the company.  The ps1 was more successful than the n64 but sony released the ps2 before the gamecube.  The ds is a lot more successful than the psp but nintendo it looks like the ds sucessor is launching before the psp successor. 

I guess nintendo just wants to keep up the excitement and momentum going.  The winner of one console generation usually wins the next one nes and super nes, ps1 and ps2 etc.
