This is an excellent post. The generations birthed from the idea of the rate of growth within the HW field. Since systems could easily overpower each other in the 70/80s up until now.
The fact that there is little significant growth (that matters to the gamer) for some time is a very unusual, peculiar and fascinating phenomenon.
The Wii line is the main benefactor from this upcoming generation. After that, a new console could be released for a major HW/SW(Api) architectural change, but little more in terms of graphics processing & general computing capabilities.
