It was reasonable to launch a new system. 5-7 year life is typically what is expected of a console.

I expected 8-10 years... Wii has three and some months... a successor is a very early.

4 years and 5 months right now. When the N6 releases it'll be almost 6 years on the market. That's roughly as old as the SNES was when the N64 released and longer than N64 and Gamecube were supported.

Even then, Nintendo can continue selling it, at a low cost. Isn't that what Sony does?
