Instead of providing an intelligent argument, it seems you are trying to use this: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

While clearly being in a state of this: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandiose_delusions

And failing to use this: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain

;)

Do you know what an Ad-Hominem fallacy is?

An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"^[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a general category offallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument.^[2] Fallacious Ad hominem reasoning is normally categorized as an informal fallacy,^[3][4][5] more precisely as a genetic fallacy,^[6

I said "citation needed" because your claim is missing evidence. The very fact that I never mentioned you personally at all in my responses to you fails to even qualify as an argument against you. I asked for evidence and you said it was common sense, I rebutted that it was your own common sense and that you're reasoning was unclear.

Furthermore, you are suggesting I have Grandoise Delusions in asking you to back up your claims i.e you're calling me delusion because I asked for evidence, I haven't even disagreed with you yet.

Ironically, you insulted me by suggesting I don't use my brain and if I actually had an argument that would be an Ad Hominem fallacy against me.

Well, COMMON SENSE would dictate that using a piss poor attempt to stealth troll by providing links such as "the toolkit for thinking" would be classified as an ad hominem attack as you did not address the argument but instead provided a link which would basically state that I am somehow ignorantand and in need of learning. 

Anyone with even a modicum of computer hardware/console hardware knowledge would understand that due to Sony & M$ putting out lack luster hardware which is in line with a mid teir computer (at best) that this gen will be shorter than the last. With the current technological progress of PCs, especially in the graphics card department, there will be no choice but to have shorter lifespans as the consoles will be outdated presumably faster than there were this gen. You want refernce? Go look at Nvidia's GPU road map.

Sony and M$ are already making profits whereas they were loosing money with the PS3/360 early on  in the generation.  Going by previous hardware releases (minus last gen) the typical lifespan is 5-6 years. Last gen was a rare occurance that will most likely not happen again.

The genreral consensus out there (which you can look through the majoriy of sites) is that none of the consoles will reach 100 million and at best (being the PS4) will reach near 80 mill. The hype has clearly died out for the PS4 as it's substantially lowere than Wii weekly (2007) sales and has fallen to a level of only being 30K above the PS3 in weekly sales (2007) for the same initial launch period. 

As for the link pertaining to grandoise delusions, well, it was generally based off certain responses and opinions I've you've provided in other threads (Playstaion created the industry).
