"if they had just waited 24 months"
lol, 2 years is a fairly long time. I personally would have preferred this as no games I really care about are even out yet and I haven't upgraded yet. but the industry as a whole would have suffered a ton.
I think they can compensate by releasing the next systems sooner, or incremental updates, like 2016's equivalent to the N64DD. The industry is ready for it now.
