Very interesting. I think you are right. The only thing that would change this is a new chip fabrication process. Who knows what the future holds. The only constant is change. We might end up with cheaper consoles faster if a breakthrough happens.

That is true. If we knew exactly how to make chips smaller today we'd already be doing it. So these roadmaps rely on a series of unknown breakthroughs that might be better than predicted, or perhaps an alternative tech path will rapidly mature (I was speaking to my Materials lecturer on her work on FERAM that's progressing very well).
