MS and Sony are losing way too much money off the current platforms and the chances of time improving that situation with Wii dominance is not positive. Not to mention we've seen how well their published and developed games have sold. Most software sold on their platforms comes from the 3rd parties meaning they aren't having their software push them even.
Point being they can't stick with the consoles for much longer... especially MS. Sony may still be looking to the future but it's hard to think MS still can especially wiht a little upward momentum. MS could surprise us and have the Xbox 3 out by late 2009 but more probable we'll see it in 2010. And if MS releases then Sony will have to compete.
As for Nintendo its hard to think they can support Wii too much longer in the future. 2009 though might be their peak year but once again they'll have to compete and at least release N6 by 2011. They are hoping MS and Sony will continue their theories of an extended gen and be able to shaft them. 2013 is simply outrageous though. Anything after 2012 is outrageous. You think Sony and MS are going to seriously sit in there and take all those losses for that long then you are crazy. They've realized by now, at least Sony, that they can't profit from this and abandoning ship may be the best idea. Hell Sony's change could be so drastic that the next console from them may not even be called the Playstation.
