You can make all the reasons why the 10 year plan might possibly work, but the reality is that the only systems to (really) survive past the beginning of the next generation were the market leaders. The reason for this is simple, the market leader has value beyond its processing power and features because of its large library and solid support from third party publishers.

 This gen is quite different from the previous gens. Upgrades have primarily been about power boosts. Thats not the priority anymore. Ps3 is said to be "over-engineered" for  this gen's standards even. Don't you think perhaps, this engineering is what was meant for next-gen...just a thought. This is why, regardless of it's position at this time the black monster would most likely be sticking around even when nintendo releases a more powerful console to catch up with current standards.

First, I agree with HS. Only the winning systems have long lifespans.

Second, you have it backwards. It's not Nintendo who has to catch up to current standards with their console, it's Sony.

I'm talking hardware specs...the wii is more powerful than the "over-engineered" machine now? You lost me...
