So we're arguing past each other. Your point is that it is physically possible for them to do it, which I agree with, and my point is that they have substantial business reasons not to do it which is why they are in fact not doing it. They have to decide that the potential gain is worth the investment. If they sell 100 million units of one console, they will make more money than if they sell 100 million of 2 consoles combined. That's one of the reasons Nintendo went the route it did. If they spend $10 million to develop the new system and $10 million to market it, it has to sell $20 million above above whatever sales it takes from the older system just to break even, plus above the cost of producing each and every unit.
