Do you think with the world in the economic toilet there's no apetite for expensive nexgen consoles?

Being that I've seen people and news stories discussing buying $600 iPads for 6 year olds, I think there are enough people with excessive money (or a poor ability to set priorities) to fully support the release of a next generation system.

All that could be being funded by debt/credit, in turn being adversely effected if there is another credit crunch.

Either that or the revenue is being shifted from capital or capital-ish investments (like homes) to pointless consumer crap

Which is a problem for the economy on a macro level, but on a micro level is a good sign for console manufacturers (and people who make other consumer crap)
