Why a new set of consoles in 2010 wouldn't be good for anyone

The truth is, that Sony want the PS3 to sell for 10 years, the problem is they will have the PS4 on the market for 4-5 of those years. This means that Sony is going to release a new console long before the end of "the 10 year plan".

Microsoft is actually a guessing game with when they will release a new console. I think they are going to go for an early release again because of the advantage that gave them.

Now for some reason I don't understand why people don't think Nintendo should release a console early. At the current moment they are completely owning the mainstream market and are struggling to captivate the hardcore market. So it would make lots of sense for Nintendo to do something very non-Nintendo. Release a loss leading console priced at $400-$500. This would be a fully featured system that blows everything away currently on the PS3 and 360. I think the current profit from the Wii could more than offset the loss of their new console. With this early out of the gate system they could basically have an amazing system at the low price point and another amazing system for the hardcore priced above (or even at) the price of the PS3.

There are lots of possibilities here, but it makes the most sense for Nintendo to start the next gen early.

 If they do that and gather most of the third parties, they will have the next gen champion. But they need to give people an option between wii remote( They will continue with it) and a traditional one, so that you can enjoy most of both. I would buy it.
