You can still buy Wii's but that console only really lives on through the 2nd hand market. Microsoft will probably have a new console out this year so its highly doubtful they will continue to support the 360 with AAA blockbusters. Fact is if you take on this subscription y will rely heavily on the 2nd games market for the majority of your contract. Same with PS3 after this year.

Its a good bargain though to spread the cost instead of a hefty downpayment.

Not at all. Retail will still make most of their sales on PS3/360 games for some time. In 2 years time I still expect to see lots of PS3/360 titles on display.

I just dont see any massive AAA games carrying the existing consoles after this year. Im sure as you said there will be releases but the largest will probably be annual releases like Fifa. I can honeslty see the Ps360 on shelves for a few years yet because of the vast range already available but, as in the case of the 2 year subscription, youll be pretty starved of major new releases by the time your contract expires. 

I think there will still be some major releases in 2014 and 2015. Perhaps many will just be ports, but still some noteworthy releases.

I'm sure downloadable games will keep coming for a few years as well.
