No. It's not an imaginary race. The market isn't made like this. Only fanboys see it this way: Winning a console generation.
As long as a product sells, and is bringing profit, it is winning. If the other manufacturers don't have a lasting faith in their product and believe they need to remove it from the market, it changes nothing. Fact being that the older product is still being proposed to people, still selling, still generating profit, and in many cases, selling in place of the newer gen systems.

You see it like a console generation is the be all end all of a console's life-cycle. The general population doesn't see things this way. "Hardcore gamers", for lack of better words, see things in such a shallow way.

After all 3 consoles come out, the only market left for the older consoles is casuals, kids getting a cheap first console, and the odd core gamer that missed out the entire generation. Also 3rd world gaming markets. These all dont pertain to us, who made our console choices allready.

The general population doesnt frequent gaming forums. Core gamers frequent them.Your using causals as a crutch, your dealing in core gamers, who as you said, see things in a shallow way. Play by our rules because thats where you are.

No, by "hardcore gamers", I meant the people who actively seek info on the internet about the ins and outs of the industry. Most people I know are gamers. They're often really good at it and competitive. But barely any of them are aware of the industry's workings. 

You don't need to be a fanatic to be a core gamer.
