With the current economy consumers will want to make their console last longer and the same is true for developers due to higher development costs.
So it's very likely that this gen will last longer than the last gen....

And honestly personally I am not looking forward to upgrading again.
I was very eager to go from the PS2 to the PS3 but I don't see any technological advance I would want on my console aside maybe from more RAM.......( I can't say I feel like PC games are getting so far ahead of console gaming, especially partially due to the fact that high budget PC only titles are slowly becoming rarer and rarer..)

 

 what you said, and to add.

People do not seem to have the thirst for bigger and better as much, and the Wii has proven this. The PS3 has alot of untapped potential, and the 360 has a good userbase that will be profitable for a while.

Part of the reason gen were changing so fast I trully believe was the race between console and PC gaming.

For better or worse consoles have won that war now as the majority of the development studios develop their big budget titles for consoles ( with the exception of Blizzard but their titles are not the resource-hungry titles that usually caused the console maker to release a next gen to keep up).

And economically it doesn't make sense for any of the big 3 to release a next gen ( whereas this gen made a lot of sense for Nintendo and Microsoft).

 



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
