Generations last six years, so the PS2 stopped selling in 2006, right? Completely taken off the market?

That's not what I'm saying. You're missing the point. The gamecube came out in 2001 and was discontinued in 2006. The xbox came out in 2001, discontinued in 2006. The PS2 kep going because of its strong weekly sales and Sony wanted to see the console have a 10 year lifespan. Now that  it will reach its 10th year in japan  by march and in us by october, Sony should discontinue the console in early 2011. That's what i'm trying to say.

ok i get it, it's a joke right?  gamecube and xbox sold 20 something million.  Wii will sell at least 100 something million.  Gamecube and xbox had tiny market share, wii has huge market share in comparison.  Wii is the market leader, xbox and gamecube are a niche in comparison.  NES and SNES did sell long after the generation because they were generation leaders.
