If you've already got Madden 2008, are most people really going to go out and buy Madden 2009 the next year? If you've already got a bunch of great titles and are still playing them are you going to be as likely to go out and look for new stuff to play, especially if you can borrow from your friends?

Yes but Madden 2008 or 2009 has nothing to do with the console they are on. Consumers will not buy a product if they do not offer something new, improvements over the prior version (that validates a purchase), or desired (or pushed hard enough to create one by advertsiging). Madden games do not offer enough incentives for the users to buy a newer version. Buy for example UC2 offered a mch different and better experience than UC1 so people buy it. This has nothing to do with the console they are on tho. Two very different product life cycles.

Consumers only buy product if they are dis-satisfied with their present situation. If they are completely satisfied with the games they are currently playing they will not go out and buy new ones. However new console owners buy a lot of titles within the first few years of ownership because they are starting from 0. They have nothing in the library, so how can they be satisfied with what they already own?

So are you saying by the 4-5th year of xbox it has reached it's last stage of the life cycle already? :S Cuz if not then what you say makes no sense to me. You say people will buy many games once they buy the console anew. What facts do you have to back that up? If a game offers something good, new. or desired people will buy it. Every Halo will sell well. EWvery NSMB will sell well. Every COD will sell well. Every GT will sell well. It has absolutely nothing to do with the console. Again it's a seperate life cycle. Your just twisting your initial statement now.
