| Kwaidd said: How many times is this going to be brought up? Companies can't wait till a year before they want to release a product before they start discussing what it is they want to do next. It takes years of R&D and refining an idea they have into a workable platform, and there are many changes due to happen along the way as tech and their ideas continue to evolve. Then gearing up to produce such a project and then put into mass production and get it ready to market. It takes years and years of work. Nintendo have been known (though I'm sure most any company does this) to start on their next hardware ideas immediately after the prior launches, but if anyone thinks that means a new console is going to miraculously end up on your Gamestop shelves next year, they are totally out of touch with reality. This shouldn't even be a question in people's minds, but lets just say it was possible...that a new Ninty console might release within 3 years of the prior (which it won't). People think nothing about spending $500+ all day long(between upgrade and agreement) on the "latest/greatest" (barely upgraded) smartphone iteration every time it releases. So why is that different? It's absolutely brain dead if you ask me. |
You start developing the console but you do not announce anything about it until you are pretty much done.
Also I have a 100$ phone (well it was 100$ when I got it 3 or 4 months ago) (I love it btw)

I also have a 100$ Nook HD for book reading mostly.
For the record I have a 850$ Laptop.
