There is also the possibility that video game consoles could decline, like in Japan. In order for these larger console sales to exist, there must be growth in the market. I could see a number of scenarios where growth becomes stalled.

but on the same Token, Do you see in any shape of form , of the Say xbox360 slowing down or being stalled in say 3 year's

esp. since Natal is being released, and it add's a New dynamic to play game's on the xbox360.

in the next 2 to 3 year's I do not think it's going to stall enough were Microsoft will feel the need to push for another whole new system when right now the xbox360 Elite is still at $299.00 and selling very well, I think that's the big problem, It's still selling so well at $299.00 There is no real need to rush out the door. remember last time they had to Soak 1.8 +billion because of a fault in the first batch of 11 million system's they released, they paid for it. I think they do not want a repeat of that. does that mean they will not release ahead of Sony, who know's but I do think they will be more reserved about it this time.

I'm not really thinking of the 360 so much. I think that other factors in electronics could have an impact a few years down the line. For example,  Apple could become involved in the mix. Or TV manufacturers could begin building networked services into their sets. Or perhaps handheld gaming may become more prominent as it has in Japan.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
