I mostly agree, but I also believe that there is an outside chance that any of the consoles could be replaced in 2011 or 2013 as well. Basically, if the hardware manufacturers start seeing stagnating or declining hardware or software sales for an extended period of time they may decide that further growth requires new hardware. For Microsoft or Sony this situation could be made worse if Natal or Move was not well received in the market because it would indicate that producing an add-on would simply not be enough to improve their market position.
