Why the next system? If they can't get the system now, the next system won't magically start working for them unless they try to understand the system values ASAP, which would also be at a lower development cost.

That would be the whole point in waiting till the next system. Get in the correct mindset and be ready from the start. Ya know, take some time away and step back and plug back in with better results.

You can't get in the correct mindset just by standing around. You have to do things as well that show you why the old mindset was wrong. I speaka of this from personal experience. Holding out is just a coward's way of trying to avoid admitting you screwed up, while only just saying you need to change without actually changing.

Again, this is from personal experience, and these people should get their asses in gear and start practicing their new games on the Wii, because the Wii is where they had their big problems. They can't break through the next system when it will likely offer them some of the crutches they relied on with the HD systems (throwing loads of graphics and detail around instead of good design).
