Are there any benefits to shorter lifespans for consoles?

There aren't enough games on PC to keep me entertained and I do appreciate the console experience more. Well everything that isn't horribly misfigured or slowed down due to hardware restraints. It's my hobby after all. And why wouldn't I try to improve it by making my complaints heard? Isn't that what everyone should do?

So you think console > PC ? 

Yes, input is important but what's more important is speaking up with your wallet!

If your not satisfied with something you hit corporations where it hurts the most, their banks ... 

Ideally what I'd want from the next and last generation are some upgradeable SKUs like the N64 expansion paks to cover the crowd that can never be technically satiated ...

My wallet won't help in that matter. They won't let me pay more for better hardware and buying games on an old system only supports their decision to keep it running. And not buying anything is not good as well. First, my wallet would burst and second I'm the only one buying niche titles so they get a sequel some day.

Imagine a PS5 selling next year with double the hardware, same architecture. Price point maybe 500-600? It will have perfect backwards compatibility and will be able to play all next and old gen games in 1080p60.

And yet you have people object to this great future.
