I don't see that happening in the remaining 2.5 years this console generation is likely to last.

You don't ascribe to the extended console generation dogma? Are you talking about a completely new cycle or just the Wii?

I don't think the current consoles are simply going to disappear in 2.5 years but we've seen evidence that being the first to release new console in a generation yields favorable results in terms of developer support.
Were I in Microsoft's place, I would wish to get that same lead next generation as I did in this one. Were I in Sony's place, I would do everything I could to stop Microsoft from getting developers onboard and experienced with its system's API before mine. Were I in Nintendo's place, I would be watching the competition very closely.

I think jumpstarting the next gen in the current economy when PC shows no sign of c ompeting with the HD consoles would be a very bad idea.........
Right now it's not in either Sony or Microsoft interest to jumpstart the next gen. And it's not like customers or developers are asking for it too.
So who would it benefit ???
