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 Customer confidence will drop like a rock and no one will risk buying a system that is outdated in 3 years.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.

 

You claim tech is not the centre piece of the game industry, but rather software. Yet you feel the industry will die because ppl will not want to risk buying a system that is outdated in 3 years?

Which is it? Either tech is that important that consumers will not want to risk such a move, or tech is not that important and consumers wont care as long as they have games, and can play the latest games regardless of when or which version they buy (like you will with PS4 and NEO).

No one if forcing you to buy a PS4 Neo. The game selection is not suddently changing. Online is not suddenly splitting. Game features are not suddenly becoming exclusive. 

Err... yes? What which? They are concordant.

People want to buy games, not new consoles all the time.

 

Oh... and assuming you know how its going to be is your first mistake. Look at the new 3DS as the example.

 

Anyways, you picked up on something i said wich was the worst case scenario, where all manufacturers dd this but consumers didn't embrace it. I don't think thats gonna happen. I think consumers won't embrace this practice and Microsoft will gain from this tirade of greed from Sony, just as they have in the past. It will be the perfect ammo to use at E3.
