All games should work with the old hardware, I think I stressed that point.

I don't think there is any rush to launch new consoles so it'll be a while. Significantly more powerful devices with little impact on price is appealing.

Hundreds of games could take advantage of the new specs, you really don't know. It just depends how easy they are to take advantage of. You created a scenario where they are difficult and expensive to use.

Or what? Mr Puggsly will come over to knock some sense into them? :)

You're creating a scenario where there is zero benefit for developers to use the new specs. The past has shown that Nintendo had to force the memory pack and now the N3DS with exclusive games to get the ball rolling. Why would that be different now?

It simply is not a profitable venture to keep the price the same and add a new hardware spec. What will make more profit is a smaller design, smaller fan, smaller psu, built in VR port and audio processing to eventually be bundled with the VR headset and get that price down to something sensible.
