I dont see anyone complaining about new GPU that comes every month, or new iphone that comes every year. But when console manufacturers makes a system in 5-7 years interval then all hail breaks down. I really dont get people.

A lot of people complain about new iPhone each year and other products that have yearly releases. 

That "a lot" is certainly less than those who complain about new systems.

Luxury vs. Neccessity.

Gaming is Niche.

Just the world we live in.
