It's pretty easy to argue that all video game consoles are fads. If they were not, then there would not have been any need to go beyond upgrading existing hardware for a given generation the way we do with computers. But that is not what happens. The fact that new hardware comes out every 3 to 8 years to replace existing hardware (and not just new hardware components to replace older ones in existing hardware) is indicative that all consoles in fact fall into the "fad" category. Perhaps longer fads than the likes of Tickle-Me-Elmo, and ones that have longevity in the form of a constant chain of successors, but fads just the same.

 I think Wii might be the first console to buck the normal console cycle changes because of its demographic, unless some company can come in and disrupt the Wii market there is no reason for Nintendo to move forward with a new system in 5-6 years
