On par with the Xbox 360 and PS3? Wow it took them 6 years.
Nice timing too, since Sony and Microsoft should be anouncing their next gen consoles (which should be better than this one) after a year or two.
They both claim 10 year lifecycles on their current consoles, so 2 or 3 years.

They got all the casual people's money, and casual people won't want to upgrade that quickly so they're probably switching back to a controller so no one complains about standing up.
The casual folk are the same people what got bored with the atari etc., which forced the 5 year lifecycle, which has been used since NES.

Like I said in the other thread, just wanted remind people of all the rumors about the Wii that weren't true, reported on many of the same gaming websites:
-That it would have a touch screen controller
DS?
-That it would not have a d-pad or other traditional buttons
wiimote had no button early on in development didn't it?
-That it would have a "projector" that projected the action in midair
-That it would have a "pressure sensitive" controller (similar to the back touch screen on the NGP, actually)
-That it would use HD-DVD
-That it would launch in March 2006
-That it would have a form of head tracking where you could view the action from different perspectives by moving around the room
johnny whatever did this with a wiimote, maybe nintendo tried it?
Do I beleive some of the "cafe" rumors will turn out to be true? Yes. Do I believe a lot of them will be junk? Also yes. Right now the only thing I believe is that will be out holiday 2012 and be HD and powerful. That's about it.
