Nintendo's Ability to Move On

I would rather buy one console and play a lot of great games on it and have it last a bunch of years. Would you buy a $10,000 car, and four years later buy another one for $10,000, sell the first one for $4,000, buy another car four years later for $10,000, sell the second one for $4,000, etc. I would rather buy one car for $20,000 or $25,000 than buy three cars for $30,000 total. How about a TV? Three black and white ones or a color one? Three color ones or an HD one? ETC.!!!!!!

The problem is that in 3-5 years time, the PS3 will likely be outdated and you'll have to shell more money on a newer and more up to date system. Car technology don't advance as much as silicon based electronics.
