By the time the "Super Wii" was to come out Microsoft would likely be working on its next console, or just have one out. Sony is likely to let their console last longer and come in later again. I'd say you could see a PS4 in 2012. Not necessarily ... The problem that Microsoft had with the XBox (and Sega had several times) is that the support for the XBox died as soon as the XBox 360 was released. Nintendo has released several systems after 5 years and not had problems with this, the latest example would be that the Nintendo DS was released 5 years after the Gameboy Advance even though the GBA was still selling well ... At the moment I would say that whether the PS3 and XBox 360 attempt 6 (or 7) year lifecycles is dependant on how they're selling in comparison to the Wii in 2009 ... if their power is allowing them to catch up/surpass monthly sales of the Wii I would expect them to wait to build a stronger userbase and launch later; on the other hand if they fall further and further behind the Wii expect them to launch a new system after 4 or 5 years.

Well I think reggie said that Wii would have a life spann of five years before next systems comes out. On that if Nintendo succed to get PS2 support you will find that it will have support for at least one more year.
