I really hope it's true. I am in no rush to buy new hardware, and I feel the games are fine as they are. Plus, technology hasn't advanced so much that there is a huge difference, IMO. In 2014 the jump between gens should be as noticeable as in previous gens. Also, I don't think Nintendo is in direct competition with MS and SONY, their audiences don't overlap that much, we shall see if that remains true next gen. The fact that Nintendo's next console may be just as powerful or slightly more than PS3/X360 also makes me believe MS and SONY will be fine till 2014. Finally, both consoles have still price cuts left in them, so sales should remain strong for the next year or two, and at least decent in 2013/14.
