Wow, the people saying no are by far the craziest in here. One says MS+Sony can't make it seven years but the Wii will go 13

OMG! What a stupid idea! The most popular console sells for a long time, and the least popular sells for a shorter time?  MWUHAHAHA!!!!!

and the other thinks it's a law that people have to get bored with their consoles after 4-6 years.

OK, show me one example generation when the companies decided that they need more profit, so they stay with the cheap, old consoles, and the consumers bought it because they were said to do so.

  MS is still deeply in the red and under no pressure.

Ms was still deeply in the red and under no pressure when they decided to replaye the xbox

Nintendo is way in the black and has no incentive.

Oh, if "currently making profits" would mean "don't have to do anything" we would still be in the NES era.

Sony is still bleeding cash at the current system's price and has no reserves for a PS4 launch.

But they have reserves to bleed away? Especially with more price cuts? If the situation would be really so bad, their best choice would be to discontinue the PS3 and leave the market.
