Console generations are every 5-10 years. mobile generations are every 12-18 months at the moment. mobiles have increased in power 50 fold in 5 years and they are on trajectory to continue that rate at least for the next few generations of chips. Also the strongest apple offering is significantly less powerful than any of the top end mobile chipsets. mobiles "should" surpass console performance before the end of this generaiton at current rate. that makes it very interesting for the next round of consoles. The question will be on the next round whether a console is just another small device/mobile/handheld device that also acts as a console or remain a completely seperate device. regardless console gaming is set for some major changes.

not true, snes 1990, ps1 1994,  ps2 2000, xbox 360 2005. The normal console circle is 5 years
