Technology is not moving faster than it did on previous generations. The fact console makers are reducing product lifecycles is an alarming sign of the console market decline, since it signals manifacturers are not bringing in more customers but they're sustaining the business by selling more stuff to the same people. |
Bullshit. These companies don't make any significant money from the hardware, the real money comes from the software, so they really have nothing to gain from reducing the lifecycles. The longer the console cycle goes on the more beneficial it is for them financially, as devs get more familiar with the hardware they can make more games faster and that's what makes them money.
