I hope the NX is a 10 year, mega powerful console, that is expensive.

Don't you think gaming would kind of stagnate after around 6 or 7 years (leaving 4 more entire years until a new console emerges).

Am I the only one who DOES NOT want a gen to last more than 5 or 6 years tops?

Maybe. 5 or 6 years is too short. They just need to release games in the console gen's later years and I doubt anyone would have any issues with the gen lasting too long.

The last year and a half of the Wii had IMO its best software releases (Pandora's Tower, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Skyward Sword), but I still was very ready for new hardware to hit the market. I understand it's my own personal opinion, but I feel 6 years is pushing it. By then I'm ready for better visuals and performance than what I currently got. Releasing more games will not alleviate the fact that the visuals and performance of said games will remain the same (granted they will improve the first few years while developers are learning the tech, making new game engines, ect).  

Oh, and 5 years is the average console life cycle, why do you feel it is too short? Here is a link to all console gen releases (about 5 years).
