Nope. This isn't just the case. And I don't know how many times I could day it before it sinks in. Developers aren't supporting 2/3/4 different systems. They are supporting One system with 3-4 different settings. It's up to Sony to make that process smoother. Developers are working with ONE SDK. 

The reason the last generation lasted so long is exactly what makes this necessary. There is just too much time between technological jumps now. And there is no confusion here. You aren't walking into a store as a consumer and wondering which PS4 game to buy. You still just buy a game and toss it in. 

And this developers and publishers argument. That just tells me you didn't read my OP or he article I linked whch was in fact made by a developer. But I'll say this. APIs. 

Its pretty much now a fact that a more powerful PS4 is making its way to devs. and devs have spole about it. Devs kits are even with them. How is this still a sumor to you. Or is this the whole burying ones head in the sand thing?

You can't invent a technological jump when there isn't one. The reason the last gen was long was because the development costs rose so much. Everyone needed to recoup from it. This was because the technological leap was too high (cause of microsoft rushing the market to outplay sony). There were dire prices to pay for that.

This ISNT the technology industry. Its the gaming industry. We don't need the latest tech to make new games. In this industry tech is an auxiliar, not the centre piece. Technology has served this industry to make gaming visions a reality. Right now technology is beeing used as vanity. Tech is not the driving force behind this undustry. It's games. Sony is trying to flip it around and quite honestly i hope they go ahead with it, because it will be made quite clear. 

The only problem is we are all gonna get tossed right back MS's hands again unless Nintendo manages to get in with a good system. Sony doesn't like winning. They always get blind, greedy and abusive way too fast.

All this can do is destroy the games market. Customer confidence will drop like a rock and no one will risk buying a system that is outdated in 3 years. It maybe could work in a portable market where consoles cost 200. But a 400 console every 3 years? Nah... thats insanity

The Wii U became outdated in less than 3 years (pretty much in year one) but they are immune to the scenario you layed out against Sony?  Why should one bother with the NX?
