But just think of the jump from PS2 to PS3. Dvd to Blu Ray, Online features, 3D, Motion controllers, Graphics etc. Is there really such a jump these days?
If SONY releases a new redesigned Playstation with a better Blu Ray, bigger and faster cell processor etc etc. It will most likely be backwards compatible, support Move, have the same PSN and online features etc, as the current PS3. Or if Xbox came out with a new redesigned Xbox, with blu ray, better ram, bigger hdd etc etc. It would also have the same features as the current xbox, Natal, XBL etc etc. Those consoles would most likely not be counted as a next gen console. They'd most likely just be sold as a new SKU, and the Arcade and PS3 80gb, or any other SKU, might be discontinued in its place.
But the sales would go on as usual on this site for example. There wouldn't be new tracking of how each of those two new models sold seperately. And the software would continue as usual. It wouldn't be Next Gen. It would be an upgraded Current Gen.
And i think these types of upgrades will continue on for alot longer than 2012-15, before we see all companies release a Next Gen console. Dont you think?
