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 Customer confidence will drop like a rock and no one will risk buying a system that is outdated in 3 years.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The Wii U became outdated in less than 3 years (pretty much in year one) but they are immune to the scenario you layed out against Sony?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?

O.o What made you think that a mid-gen Nintendo home console is what i meant. Geez you are assuming much from what the NX is.
No, i mean in the next gen, if Nintendo launches a system in the same level as the competition at the same time.
Quite honestly, it might be too late for Nintendo if the NX is what you think. Also, do you think i think the NX will be a sucess? Because i don't.
