Poll: Do you believe in the third console curse?

[fordy]

I have a theory that this is caused by console manufacturers attempting to use a technique similar to Intel's Tick-Tock strategy, and failing on the pass that is simply an upgrade and not an overhaul. The SNES was using a 65816, a 16bit counterpart of the NES's 6502, but as soon as they went to MIPS, they lost it.
