THere will be a positive net gain on the weekly once MK8 launches and likely again after this xmas... meaning next year will be higher than this year, but don't expect it to overall do better than Gamecube lifetime.

With all the powerful consoles out now, I don't see the rush for new hardware. I'm calling it now, this gen is going to last even longer then last gen.

I got a big box of nope for ya. Next Nintendo on or before holidays 2017 and other replacements coming 2018 as neither will let Nintendo get more than a year head start. Last gen was an oddity in many ways including longer lifespans due to later peaks in sales. One of the reasons MSony used nearly off the shelf items that are very much inline with PC development was specifically so they could upgrade at a better pace with lower costs. This is why Sony is saying they have profitable hardware less than a year into its cycle. I'm sure with MS cutting out Kinect, their hardware will be profitable this year too.

Agreed. Another reason last gen lasted so long was that the hardware released (PS3, Xbox 360) at he time was more powerful than the what most highend gaming computers whereas the XBO, PS4 are mid tier at best and will be severely outdated come 2017/2018.
