Am I the only one hoping that this generation will be very short?

[fatslob-:O]

To cut it short OP, your not the only one on that boat judging by this thread ...

I'm very much against the idea of transitioning to next gen early at this point since many here don't really know the repercussions ...

Consoles are MEANT to depend on their software support to sustain their life, NOT become a product line to have yearly hardware refreshes ...

Doing the any of the things you mentioned would mean devaluing the product line and that can have some serious ramifications when it comes to the AAA gaming market since that could potentially mean a gaming crash like before ...

Introducing a new platforms in a short time frame in this day and age is a waste because price/performance scaling been significantly stalled ...

If it means anything to those sharing this sort of sentiment I want them to rethink, reevaluate, and reconsider their initial stance because these types of direction that gamer's on here vouch for is extremely poisonous to the gaming industry in general ...

The long and short of this is making this gen smaller is like letting a genie out of the bottle ...

I'm all for a longer life span since it means getting more value out of the platforms, developers getting a longer dev cycle along with reduced cost overtime, seeing EUV take off in the future so that there may be bigger gains in price/performance, and more chances for new IPs. I can only see a win on this route since there's nothing but benefits to be had with it ...
