Don't you see the stability of being able to play your games on the current console that you can still own for the next 5/6 years, but if by any chance you decide to upgrade, you won't need to sell or store your entire collection just to start from 0 all over again? how about the stability for developers to create a game not having to worry if there will be a generation transition in mid development? i mean... come on, just because a new version of the console exists it doesn't mean you need to go and pick it up. Since you're not worried about better resolution, frame rate, lighting, physics, etc... why would you 'have' to buy the new version?

I keep hearing this common complain, from 1 side it's said they don't want to upgrade because it's pointless to have better image quality, but on the other side just because the same game is available in better quality they feel forced to buy it.

I'm just looking for a little bit of consistency here.

Sorry, I don't follow. Where is the inconsistency?

the inconsistency is:

A- better graphics, lighting, frame rate, etc is not important for me, I don't want to buy a new console just because of that

B- a new console that plays the exact same games simply with better graphics, lighting, frame rate, i feel forced to buy it

 

either being on the bleeding edge is important or it's not important, can't be both at the same time
